Abstract

In 2019 the Lancet Commission on Obesity called for “a radical rethink of business models, food systems, civil society involvement, and national and international governance” to address the interlinked crises of obesity, undernutrition, and climate change. We agree, and suggest that international human rights law, institutions and mechanisms provide important opportunities for norm setting, advocacy and accountability which are currently underutilised. This call was endorsed by several hundred globa
