On World Obesity Day Europe 2022, the The MEP Interest Group on Obesity and Health System Resilience launched a Declaration for National Action Plans for Obesity.
Now that all recovery and resilience plans have been submitted, the European Commission is dialoguing with key institutional actors at both national and EU level as well as with civil society members on how best to approach the NCD (non-communicable disease) crisis in the EU. The MEP Interest Group has been investigating the situation across five EU Member States with policymakers and stakeholders; the declaration here follows. If you missed the webinar on World Obesity Day Europe where the Interest Group took stock of the past year and explored how to move forwards to support EU Member States in evidence-based policy interventions that can enable them to apply an NCD framework in addressing obesity.
