Webinar to launch the WHO Technical Package to Stop Obesity
World Health Organization
Join WHO on World Obesity Day, 4 March 2025, from 14:00–15:00 CET, to launch the WHO Technical Package to Stop Obesity. This webinar will illustrate how the package can support government officials, national policymakers and programme managers to deliver concrete action to prevent and stop obesity.
The technical package provides a practical how-to to approach of proven interventions selected by countries according to their own priorities and tailored to a local context. These interventions focus on:
- adapting environments to enable a healthy lifestyle
- creating knowledge, motivation, and skills for healthy behaviours
- transforming the health system to respond to the obesity crisis.
The webinar will feature a panel of country experts, civil society representatives, and partner agencies who will share concrete ways to prevent and treat obesity. They will also discuss the value of a simplified, standardized and holistic response supported by the WHO Technical Package to Stop Obesity within and beyond the scope of the WHO Acceleration Plan.
