Less than 1 month remains to make your voice heard

English

The countdown has begun to the 3rd UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs. It's time to get really, really busy. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Plan something locally for the Global Week for Action on NCDs [1] (3-9 September), then share it globally;
  • Become, or nominate, an NCD Champion [2], someone who will lend their name and face to this growing global movement;
  • Add your own voice and /or make a pledge about what you will do to address NCDs, via the ENOUGH website [3];
  • Double down on your advocacy efforts, including pressing Heads of State to attend and make bold commitments at the HLM;
  • Watch, and share the news, when the following are launched in September (dates tentative, check our side event calendar for updates [4]):

Week of 10 September

  • WHO Global Status Report on Alcohol

17-21 September

  • WHO NCD Country Profiles
