The Political declaration of the Third High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases (resolution A/RES/73/2) authorizes the President of the United Nations General Assembly to convene the Fourth High-level Meeting on NCDs in 2025. Member States will agree upon the scope, modalities, format, and organization of the High-level Meeting on NCDs, including the dates, through a separate resolution, which will be negotiated closer to the meeting.

A global policy event where heads of state and ministers will convene at the UN General Assembly to set a new agenda for preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Chronic respiratory diseases (including asthma and COPD) are among the priority NCD areas. This high-level meeting (HLM4) will result in a political declaration with commitments toward 2030, presenting an opportunity to bolster global action on asthma and COPD.
