Draft recommendations for the prevention and management of obesity over the life course, including potential targets

Resolution WHA74.4 requested WHO to develop recommendations for the prevention and management of obesity over the life course, including considering the potential development of targets in this regard, for consideration by EB150 and WHA75.

The process to develop the recommendations and targets is detailed on the NCD governance webpage.

As part of the process, WHO is convening a web-based consultation for Member States, UN organizations, and non-State actors on a draft global strategy on draft recommendations and targets (WHO Discussion Paper dated 16 August) from 16 August to 17 September 2021.

Member States, UN organizations and non-State actors are invited to submit their feedback before 17 September 2021 to obesity@who.int. All relevant feedback received will be published on this website (attributable to the relevant Member State, UN organization or non-State actor) once the web-based consultation is closed (i.e. after the 17 September 2021). Feedback may be submitted in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
