Spanish National Strategic Plan – Interview with Pau Gasol

Following the publication in June 2022 of the first Spanish National Strategic Plan for the Reduction of Childhood Obesity, we were thrilled to speak to Pau Gasol, six-time NBA All Star, ex-LA Laker, and President of the Gasol Foundation.

The Plan aims to reduce childhood obesity by 25% before 2030, and was devised by World Obesity members and Spanish obesity stakeholders, including the Gasol Foundation, together with the High Commissioner against Child Poverty. Currently, Spain leads the European Union in child excess weight, with four out of 10 children experiencing overweight and obesity.

We hope that the Plan will inspire organisations across the world to initiate childhood obesity strategies. Watch Pau’s interview with us below.
