On March 31, 14:00-15:30 CEST (GMT +2), IDF will co-host an online event with the World Obesity Federation - "Obesity and type 2 diabetes: a joint approach to halt the rise".

The impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is at an all-time high. NCDs are estimated to cause 41 million deaths each year (71% of the global total), of which 15 million are premature. Despite Member States having agreed a set of voluntary targets to achieve by 2025, the 0% increase in diabetes and obesity target is catastrophically off track.

The online event will feature perspectives from WHO, academics, government representatives and people affected by obesity and/or type 2 diabetes.
