马德里全球肥胖峰会10月26日开幕:世卫组织与西班牙卫生部联合主办

10 月 26日,马德里全球肥胖峰会正式开幕,峰会由西班牙卫生部与世界卫生组织联合主办,联合国儿童基金会与世界银行协办,会期从 10 月 26 日持续至 29日。这次峰会是世界卫生组织“加速遏制肥胖计划”框架下的全球盘点时刻,各国政府、肥胖患者代表、青年、民间社会与执行伙伴齐聚马德里,评估进展、交流经验,并就 2030年之前预防、早期干预与以人为本的照护达成公平且有证据支持的优先事项。峰会的目标包括:回顾各参与国的执行进展,总结经验教训与良好做法,加强成员国之间的同行学习与技术合作,明确下一阶段的优先事项,并在 10 月 28日的高级别会议上通过《加速行动全球呼吁》,促使各国与伙伴重申并提升 2026 至 2030年的政治承诺。肥胖已成为全球性的公共卫生挑战,不仅影响个人健康,也给各国医疗系统带来沉重负担,儿童与青少年肥胖的上升趋势尤其令人担忧。峰会期间的讨论将涉及食品环境、身体活动、医疗服务可及性与社会公平等多个层面。对普通读者而言,峰会的意义在于:各国能否把“少吃多动”的个人建议,转化为食品标签、学校供餐、城市步行环境等系统性的政策改变,将决定未来一代人的健康走向。
Madrid Global Obesity Summit Opens October 26: Co-Hosted by the WHO and Spain's Ministry of Health
On October 26, the Madrid Global Obesity Summit officially opened; the summit is co-hosted by Spain's Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, with UNICEF and the World Bank as co-organisers, and runs from October 26 to 29. The summit is a global stocktake moment under the WHO's Acceleration Plan to Stop Obesity framework, bringing together governments, representatives of people living with obesity, youth, civil society and implementing partners in Madrid to assess progress, share experience and agree equitable, evidence-based priorities for prevention, early intervention and people-centred care before 2030. The summit's goals include reviewing implementation progress in participating countries, distilling lessons and good practices, strengthening peer learning and technical cooperation among member states, clarifying the next phase's priorities, and adopting a “Global Call to Accelerated Action” at the high-level meeting on October 28, prompting countries and partners to renew and raise their political commitments for 2026 to 2030. Obesity has become a global public health challenge, affecting not only individual health but also placing a heavy burden on countries' health systems; the rising trend in childhood and adolescent obesity is especially worrying. Discussions during the summit will cover food environments, physical activity, access to health services and social equity, among other areas. For ordinary readers, the summit's significance lies in this: whether countries can turn the individual advice to “eat less and move more” into systemic policy changes such as food labelling, school meals and walkable urban environments will determine the health trajectory of the next generation.
