Thanks Toby! Health is part of wellbeing, so “global wellbeing” would be sufficient.
However, it’s worth noting that “global wellbeing” should apply to all moral patients, whereas “global health” is usually understood as a human-specific set of interventions.
Exactly- I was also thinking of “global wellbeing” but then realised that would also include animals. “Global health and wellbeing” is the name for the cause area in OpenPhilanthropy’s terminology which only applies to humans, so I think that would have meaning to some people (although it is easy to overestimate average EA context when you’ve been around it so long). Another alternative is to do something like we did on the last debate week, and have definitions of the terms appear when you hover over them in the banner. I’ll chat to Will, who is developing the banner, about our options when I see him tomorrow. Cheers!

I’ve just been informed that “global health and wellbeing” actually is intended by OP to include animal welfare- so I’m disagree-reacting the above comment.
Maybe you should have a separate debate week on the most appropriate name for the “global health” cause area ;o)
