The International Diabetes Federation, World Diabetes Foundation and World Obesity Federation are organising the collaborative side event “Preventing childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes: advancing leadership for sustainable impact” during the 79th World Health Assembly. This event will take place in Geneva and will be livestreamed on Zoom.
Our side event will provide a platform to advance policy dialogue on childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention, bringing together Member State representatives, civil society, and healthcare professionals. It will facilitate exchange of evidence, policy experiences, and implementation lessons to support stronger political leadership, foster multisectoral collaboration, and accelerate coordinated action.
