⏰Today is #WorldObesityDay! 📢Shocking fact! By 2035, half of the world’s population, around 4 billion people, are expected to be living with overweight or obesity. And it's not only an adult issue. Childhood obesity is rising rapidly as well. 💪But we can change the story of obesity! By understanding obesity rather than stigmatising it, prioritising prevention from the earliest years, putting lived experience at the centre and ensuring equitable access to care, we can change the story. Let's call on governments to act on obesity and #ActOnNCDs together. Join World Obesity Federation's campaign here 👉 pulse.ly/us7blunyeq

This is the power of collective advocacy. This is how systems change begins. Through our Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL) advocacy efforts, we are equipping communities with the information they need to make healthier food choices and prevent non-communicable diseases.

🤓We have the right to know what is in our food! And it's the government's responsibility to provide this information to us. ⚡However, only 10 countries so far have mandatory front-of-package warning labels on unhealthy food products. 📢We call on governments to enact mandatory health warning policies on labelling across harmful products that may significantly increase the risk of NCDs.

Big soda and alcohol companies earned billions last year, while governments spent billions treating diseases these products cause. We urge governments to implement at least 50% excise taxes on alcohol and sugary drinks to fund essential health services and save lives.

📚New WHO global guidelines emphasise that healthy food in schools can help children develop healthy dietary habits for life. ⚡ In 2025, around 1 in 10 school-aged children and adolescents — 188 million — were living with obesity worldwide, surpassing for the first time the number of children who are underweight. 📚Read the guidelines to learn more about how countries can protect children and young people from obesity and the NCDs it can cause 👉 pulse.ly/vthhgyxp6e
