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, via the ENOUGH website;
-
Double down on your advocacy efforts, including pressing Heads of State to attend and make bold commitments at the HLM;
