World Obesity at WHO’s regional committee meetings
This year, World Obesity and our members will be advocating to governments at WHO’s regional committee meetings.
In our statements, we highlight the evidence on obesity and COVID-19 (collated in our policy dossier), and make the case for why now is such a crucial time to accelerate action on obesity in every region of the world.
