Less than 1 month to be heard: High-Level Meeting on NCDs
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 (3-9 September), then share it globally;
- Become, or nominate, an NCD Champion, 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;
- 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):
