2021 has been a pivotal year in challenging the obesity narrative and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our partners working across prevention and treatment. As we look ahead to 2022, we invite you to explore how we can continue to make meaningful change for children and adults living with obesity and all those affected by it, through advocacy, patient work, and convening global experts.
We are delighted to invite you to our 2021 meeting hosted by World Obesity Federation CEO Johanna Ralston. This will be an opportunity to hear about the impact of your support from global members and stakeholders, the World Obesity team and colleagues from the stigma working group. By bringing together partners from a range of sectors, united in an authentic commitment to improving the lives of people living with obesity, we will use this as a forum to explore our 2022 priorities. We will also present an exclusive preview of the 2022 World Obesity Day campaign and invite you to share your thoughts and expertise.
We have the opportunity to act now, and act together to create a healthier future for everyone. We hope you’ll join us.
