El Día Mundial de la Obesidad es una jornada de acción unificada que reclama una respuesta cohesionada e intersectorial a la crisis de la obesidad. Se celebra el 4 de marzo y está convocado por la Federación Mundial de la Obesidad en colaboración con sus miembros mundiales.
Cientos de personas, organizaciones y alianzas contribuyen al Día Mundial de la Obesidad cada año, involucrando a cientos de miles de personas en todo el mundo.
Previous World Obesity Days have encouraged people to recognise the root causes of obesity, increase knowledge of the disease, tackle weight stigma, foreground the voices of people with lived experience and act to improve the world’s understanding, prevention and treatment of obesity.
This year's campaign theme is 'Changing Perspectives: Let's Talk About Obesity'. We want to harness the power of conversation and stories so that together we can correct misconceptions surrounding obesity and take effective, collective action. Because when we all talk, debate and share, we can shift norms and transform health outcomes for everybody.
You can find out more about World Obesity Day and read about previous campaigns on the World Obesity website.
