‘Stepping up action on childhood obesity’ – World Obesity’s latest policy brief has been released

Recognising that childhood obesity is a global problem, the WHO Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity published a comprehensive framework for action in its 2016 report Ending Childhood Obesity.

In October, the World Obesity Federation held a series of virtual meetings with a group of key childhood obesity stakeholders, focused on assessing the implementation of ECHO’s six key areas of action. The overarching aim of the meeting was to identify cross-cutting and shared opportunities, learning and concrete actions to help drive forward policies to address childhood obesity.
