WHA79: Preventing childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes: advancing leadership for sustainable impact

The International Diabetes Federation, World Diabetes Foundation and World Obesity Federation organised the collaborative side event “Preventing childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes: advancing leadership for sustainable impact” during the 79th World Health Assembly. 

The event provided 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 facilitated exchange of evidence, policy experiences, and implementation lessons to support stronger political leadership, foster multisectoral collaboration, and accelerate coordinated action.
