World Obesity Day
World Obesity Day 2026 takes place on 4 March.
Convened by the World Obesity Federation in collaboration with its global members, it brings together individuals, organisations, and alliances to highlight the urgent need for understanding, prevention, and treatment of obesity.
A campaign toolkit provides ready to use assets to help raise awareness, share your reason to act, and advocate for system change.
The toolkit is available on the World Obesity Day website.
