Global Obesity Forum 2021

Building on the success of previous Global Obesity Forums, as well as the World Obesity Day event “Setting the global agenda” and the WHO Food Systems Dialogues Week event “Obesity: Advancing the global food and health agendas,” this hybrid event will bring together key players from across the global obesity community to elevate issues around obesity at the UNFSS. The event will discuss the Global Obesity Coalition’s priorities and progress around three main workstreams: changing the narrative, advancing work on healthy food environments, and addressing the role of primary care. This half day event will open with keynote presentations on the workstreams, and then split into breakout sessions to dive deeper into each. Bringing together experts from academia, civil society, and government, this convening of stakeholders will be an opportunity to share experiences and generate new ideas for the Coalition’s future work.
