The five main targets of SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being are: (1) Reduce premature mortality from NCDs by one-third by 2030; (2) Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services, and access to safe, effective, quality, and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all; (3) Promote mental health and well-being; (4) Strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction, and management of national and global health risks; and (5) Implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in all countries.

NCDs can contribute to poverty and inequality through various mechanisms. Firstly, they can lead to catastrophic health expenditures, which can push households into poverty. Secondly, NCDs can reduce productivity and earning capacity, leading to economic hardship. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of disability and dependence, making it difficult for people to work and contribute to their communities.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being is most closely aligned with the goal of reducing premature mortality from NCDs. Target 3.4 of SDG 3 specifically aims to reduce premature mortality from NCDs by one-third by 2030.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 5: Gender Equality through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs disproportionately affect women, so addressing them can help promote gender equality. Secondly, NCDs can lead to economic hardship, which can disproportionately affect women and girls. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of violence against women and girls.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being is most closely aligned with the goal of promoting mental health and well-being. Target 3.4 of SDG 3 specifically aims to promote mental health and well-being.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 13: Climate Action through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs are a major risk factor for premature death, which can contribute to climate change. Secondly, NCDs can lead to increased healthcare costs, which can divert resources from climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of disability and dependence, which can make it difficult for people to participate in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being is most closely aligned with the goal of strengthening the capacity of all countries for early warning, risk reduction, and management of national and global health risks. Target 3.d of SDG 3 specifically aims to strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction, and management of national and global health risks.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs are a global health challenge that requires collaboration and partnerships among countries and stakeholders. Secondly, addressing NCDs can help free up resources that can be invested in other SDGs. Thirdly, addressing NCDs can help promote economic growth and development, which can benefit all SDGs.

The WHO's Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs focuses on four key areas: (1) Promote healthy diets and physical activity; (2) Reduce tobacco use; (3) Reduce harmful use of alcohol; and (4) Provide access to essential medicines and technologies for NCDs.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 1: No Poverty through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs can lead to catastrophic health expenditures, pushing households into poverty. Secondly, NCDs can reduce productivity and earning capacity, leading to economic hardship. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of disability and dependence, making it difficult for people to work and contribute to their communities.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being is most closely aligned with the goal of achieving universal health coverage. Target 3.8 of SDG 3 specifically aims to achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services, and access to safe, effective, quality, and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs disproportionately affect marginalized and vulnerable populations. Secondly, NCDs can lead to economic hardship, which can contribute to inequality. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of social exclusion and discrimination.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production is most closely aligned with the goal of promoting sustainable consumption and production.

Addressing NCDs can contribute to achieving SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production through multiple pathways. Firstly, NCDs are a major cause of premature death, which can contribute to unsustainable consumption and production patterns. Secondly, NCDs can lead to increased healthcare costs, which can divert resources from sustainable consumption and production efforts. Thirdly, NCDs can increase the risk of disability and dependence, which can make it difficult for people to participate in sustainable consumption and production efforts.

SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions is most closely aligned with the goal of promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions.
