Ahead of World Obesity Day, this event will convene voices from governments, UN agencies, civil society, and academia. The event will preview new data and publications and discuss the urgent actions required at country level to change the systems that are currently perpetuating obesity. The event will also share stories and inspire advocates globally to help ensure obesity is prioritised at the HLM 4.
