WHO Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO)

The WHO Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO) is a global initiative established by the World Health Organization to address the growing problem of obesity in children. It brings together experts to understand the causes of childhood obesity and develop effective strategies for prevention and management. The commission's goal is to create policies and actions that promote healthier environments, improve diets, and increase physical activity among children, ultimately helping them lead healthier lives and reducing health risks associated with obesity later in life.
