WOF endorses statement on NCDs in the lead up to UNHLM

World Obesity Federation as a member of ICAN endorses statement on NCDs in the lead up to UNHLM.

The International Coalition for Advocacy on Nutrition (ICAN), comprised of organizations and advocates working to end malnutrition in all its forms by improving policies and scaling up investments for nutrition, urges Heads of State and Government to provide political leadership for the non-communicable disease (NCD) response at this year’s UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on NCDs. The coalition calls on world leaders to attend the UNHLM and prioritize policies and investments that address the critical role that quality nutrition and food systems play in preventing and reducing childhood obesity and NCDs.
