#RomeNutritionWeek2026 | Day 4 - 28 May 2026 - Thematic Session 10 - Delivering as One: Accountable Action for Healthier Food Environments, Nutrition, and NCD Reduction Diet-related noncommunicable diseases are rising globally, driven by food environments that promote unhealthy diets, including widespread ultra-processed foods and structural inequalities. Addressing this requires coordinated, multisectoral action. Despite available evidence and cost-effective policies, implementation remains uneven due to power imbalances. Countries are increasingly using dietary guidelines and food classification systems to drive change, supported by global initiatives such as the RECAP to strengthen coherent, accountable action.
