The prevalence of infant, childhood and adolescent obesity is rising around the world. While levels are plateauing in some countries and regions, the absolute numbers continue to rise, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Obesity can negatively impact on a child’s immediate and long-term health, educational attainment and quality of life. Progress towards ending childhood obesity has been slow and inconsistent around the world.

Through World Obesity Day, we aim to offer toolkits and materials to advocates worldwide in order to support them to do their bit to ensure their governments are taking the action they need to.

We want to empower and support everyone, so they have everything they need to rise to the challenge of overcoming obesity worldwide.

Visit www.obesityday.worldobesity.org for access to these free toolkits and more information on the fight against childhood obesity and how you can help.

Your support means an incredible amount to us.
