Our new paper is out introducing the Policy Cube approach to #NCD policy environments! Thanks to @HPP_LSHTM and our fab #PA4NCDs team. The cubes assesses the strength of national policies to combat diet-related #NCDs & illustrates where progress is needed-

Interesting piece from @GeorgeMonbiot arguing that #commercial interests have spent years shaping govs to be unwilling or unable to respond to public health crises-so when #covid19 hits, we have leaders with inherent disregard for intervention & regulation https://t.co/xd4Q2A0dPk

Incredibly important analysis of gaps in the #globalhealth agenda by #GH5050 - in particular efforts to address #NCDs & create #healthysocieties

Sarah Hawkes summarises findings of #GH5050 report on global health system: “It’s not kept pace with the changing nature of disease and it’s also essentially failing to take gender into account.” https://t.co/8djhrxkmw1 @nicolamlow @jameschau @ravi_rverma @ProfIAbubakar

@AkSafs We would be very interested to know how any further applications of the cube in different environments work - do keep in touch to let us know how! We are on email at [email protected].

The #PolicyCube – a new approach to thinking about & measuring the robustness & political salience of evidence-informed, rights-based, gender- and equity-oriented social policy frameworks. Let us know how you can use it. https://t.co/9hZR9XXEBf Thanks to the team & @HPP_LSHTM

[Kristof Decoster @KristofDecoste1]

Pretty neat tool i have to admit, also for comparative research clearly.

[Helen Walls @helenwalls]

Interested to see - and looking forward to properly reading about - this #policycube approach for visualizing the strength of public health policies.

"Healthy diet policies in these countries do not match the severity of the #NCDs burden nor are they designed in such a way that government action will focus on the most critical dietary drivers and population groups at risk"

Listen to our Director, Prof Sarah Hawkes, argue for the need for a global, collaborative approach to tackling childhood obesity and pervasive advertising. You can also watch the Food Diaries films as featured on @BBCFoodProg at https://t.co/ROLaqugNOG

Kudos to @NordstrmAnders for continued leadership in #HealthySocieties space. @WiltonPark set to be milestone event to move agenda.
👉Pleased @feminineupheave will bring #gender perspective & present work of @healthysoc2030 on #pivot2prevention #NCDs

With #bigbooze turning to social media, and particularly influencers, its time to support countries restrict marketing practices to address our #alcohologenic environments - interesting analysis on advertising by @socialbakers

[Healthy Societies @healthysoc2030]

Great to have our work discussed on @BBCFoodProg - @feminineupheave talks about our Food Diaries films & the pervasive problem of global advertising, arguing that to turn off the tap rather than mop up the symptoms, we need global collaboration to tackle obesity. Take a listen!

[Healthy Societies @healthysoc2030]

Yes - as @kentbuse says, now is the time to push for our right to healthy diets- and we need action now. Join 200 global leaders + 100 new signatories and join our call to incite action on #humanrights & healthy diets https://t.co/G5UWwVcwSI #BeatNCDs #Right2healthydiets

[UCL Centre for Gender, Health & Social Justice @UCLGenderHealth]

@GlobalHlth5050 Dissertation winner @leslyvejar explores how #gender constructs limit women's access to public space and better health & questions could #cycling be the key to improving health, wellness and social relations?

One year on from Commission's report, we need the tools to catalyse progress & accountability - & we believe #humanrights can do this.

We urge you to join our call on leveraging #humanrights to achieve #healthydiets -sign the call now at https://t.co/G5UWwVcwSI #BeatNCDs

[UCL Centre for Gender, Health & Social Justice @UCLGenderHealth]

Next up in our #ChallengestoChoice blog series, Laura Fisher looks at the growing problem of #advertising to children in low- & middle-income countries, the lack of regulation in place to address it, & where #responsibility should lie for changing this.

[UConn Rudd Center @UConnRuddCenter]

Researchers from @UCL asked 100 schoolchildren in 7 countries to film themselves and the food they eat. Blanket exposure to junk food advertising is encouraging poor eating habits in kids, and, in many countries, there is a policy vacuum on tackling it.
