Reports and guidelines

The World Health Organization has introduced a new Health Service Delivery Framework for Obesity Prevention and Management, part of the WHO Acceleration Plan to Tackle Obesity. This framework promotes widespread access to obesity prevention and management services across all age groups throughout life. It emphasizes the integration of these services into the healthcare system and communities, aligning with universal health coverage principles.

The World Obesity Atlas is released each year by the World Obesity Federation on World Obesity Day. These reports offer in-depth insights into notable obesity patterns, forecasts for global and regional obesity rates, national assessments, and rankings on how prepared countries are to address obesity and its associated consequences. The 2023 World Obesity Atlas, the fifth edition, concentrates on the economic repercussions of obesity.

The Special Edition of the Sustainable Development Goals Report for 2023 offers an honest evaluation of the SDGs, using the most current data and estimations. While it underscores the current shortcomings and encourages the world to intensify its endeavours, the report also underscores the significant potential for success if there's strong political determination and the effective use of existing technologies, resources, and knowledge.

The NOURISHING database offers insights into government policies in place worldwide that aim to encourage nutritious eating and combat obesity.

The MOVING database features information about policy initiatives from various countries that target increased physical activity, especially among young people.
