🌍 For Half of Humanity: Why we need action on obesity Obesity is one of the defining global health and equity challenges of our time. Today, over 1 billion people live with obesity, and without bold action, 4 billion - half of the world’s population - will be affected by overweight or obesity by 2035. This campaign is our urgent call to action in the lead-up to the 2025 UN High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (HLM on NCDs). Our goal is clear: to secure global recognition of obesity as a chronic disease, drive equitable access to care, and catalyse multisectoral solutions. Obesity doesn’t just impact individuals - it fuels a wider crisis of non-communicable diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. And it’s not just a high-income country issue - 88% of future obesity cases will occur in low- and middle-income countries. But we have the tools to act: proven public health policies, emerging treatments, and growing political momentum. The HLM must our moment to demand action. Join us in demanding: ✅ Obesity recognised as a disease in the HLM Political Declaration ✅ Commitment to WHO recommendations & Acceleration Plan ✅ People with lived experience at the heart of global solutions 🌐 Visit our website to explore campaign materials, take action, and learn why this moment matters. We have #4BillionReasons to act. 🔗 worldobesity.org/HLM4 #4BillionReasons #HalfOfHumanity
