Through this Network Member States will together explore ways to achieve sugar and calorie reduction to support efforts in tackling obesity across the WHO European Region, while also respecting national food traditions, food systems and the regulatory environment. This is based on the successful experience of other Member-State-led networks such as the European Salt Action Network. There has been much good work done so far in tackling obesity across the Region. However, none of the countries in the Region are on track to achieve the NCD Global Voluntary Targets to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity, and many Member States have requested support in childhood obesity reduction strategies. The United Kingdom has come forward and volunteered to lead the Sugar and Calorie Reduction Network from 2022 to 2024, creating a solid and protected space for Member States to exchange information and experience. There will be a preliminary meeting to set the terms of reference (ToRs) for the Network. The aim of this meeting is to: • set the ToRs for the Sugar and Calorie Reduction Network for the next three years; • explore with Member States on what is needed for the Network, and to share ideas on the initial agenda; and • set the conditions whereby the Network will bring together policy-makers and health experts from across the Region to promote healthier diets as well as reduce overweight and obesity levels.

The WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD Office) will act as the secretariat with the leading Member State to coordinate activities. Therefore, if you would like to join the Network, we are inviting you to nominate a representative and attend this initial meeting. The meeting will take place virtually on 10 March 2022 from 10:00–13:00 CET. The working languages will be English and Russian. I would be grateful if your response could be addressed to Dr Kremlin Wickramasinghe, a.i. Head, NCD Office and Adviser (Nutrition) by email ([email protected]), copying Mr Dodkhudo Tuychiev ([email protected]), as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, 11 February. Please provide the name, functional titles and email addresses of the proposed participants. The meeting supports the continuing implementation of the WHO European Programme of Work, 2020–2025 (EPW) and aligns with the global commitments contained in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the ICN2 Framework for Action and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition.
