Global Health Connector Event – The Power of Convergence: Enabling Prevention and Management of Obesity and Related NCDs (II)

Global Health Connector Event PART 2. Obesity and related multimorbidity conditions are no longer confined to high-income settings—they are fast becoming a global health crisis, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This session at the Science Summit during UNGA80 calls for a fundamental reframing of obesity: not as a lifestyle failure, but as a systemic, socio-economic, and development challenge. By shifting the narrative from treatment to prevention, this dialogue will explore multisectoral strategies to address the root causes of obesity and strengthen resilience in health systems worldwide.
