Décideurs politiques

This World Obesity Day, we’re calling on policy makers to take bold, systemic action to address the obesity crisis. No single intervention will suffice—tackling obesity requires a comprehensive approach across health, food, and societal systems.

Appels à l'action :

In Food Systems

Stronger government regulation to reduce the consumption of unhealthy foods and beverages, including:
- Politiques fiscales telles que les taxes sur les boissons sucrées
- Étiquetage nutritionnel sur le devant des emballages et déclaration obligatoire des éléments nutritifs
- Restrictions à la commercialisation des produits malsains
Pour des actions visant à accroître l'accès équitable à une alimentation saine tout au long de la vie, y compris :
- Protection, promotion et soutien de l'allaitement maternel
- Politiques d'achat de denrées alimentaires et de services publics favorables à la santé
- Reformulation de produits alimentaires et de boissons pour une alimentation saine

In Health Systems

Inclure l'accès aux services d'obésité primaire, secondaire et tertiaire dans les programmes d'assurance et de couverture sanitaire universelle.

Dans notre environnement et dans la société en général :

Les autorités locales doivent créer des espaces verts publics pour les loisirs actifs et le sport pour les personnes de tous âges et de toutes capacités.
Systèmes de transport favorisant les déplacements à pied et à vélo
Mesures fiscales visant à promouvoir l'activité physique, par exemple, réduction des taxes sur les articles de sport et subventions pour les programmes d'activités physiques extrascolaires.

EXEMPLES DE MÉDIAS SOCIAUX

The global rise in obesity rates are caused by failing systems.

Health systems that are ill-equipped to care for people with obesity
A food system driven by profit, unhealthy food and billions of dollars on advertising
Political systems that are based on outdated health data and an oversimplified obesity narrative
Planning and transport systems that discourage people from being physically active
Employment systems that shape the daily routines and economic realities of many working people
