“ We understand the goals of sustainable development can only be achieved in the absence of a high prevalence of debilitating communicable and NCDs, and where populations can reach a state of physical, mental and social well-being. ” (paragraph 138) “ We acknowledge that the global burden and threat of NCDs constitutes one of the major challenges for sustainable development in the twenty-first century. ” (paragraph 141)

Rio+20: "NCDs constitute one of the major challenges for sustainable development"

“ The MDGs did not adequately address … increase in NCDs . ” (paragraph 19) “ Priorities for social development and investments in people would include: … NCDs. Access to sufficient nutritious food and promotion of healthy life styles with universal access to preventive health services will be essential to reduce the high incidence of NCDs diseases in both developed and developing countries” (paragraph 67)

Including NCDs into the post-2015 UN development agenda

Post-2015 UN development agenda

Strategy based on four pillars of work

1. High-level Panel: Stakeholders to liaise with members of the High-level Panel to encourage the inclusion of NCDs in the contours of the post-2015 UN development agenda

2. National consultation processes: Stakeholders to ensure that the voices of the poor on NCDs are heard (taking into account that NCDs are hidden, misunderstood and underrecorded)

3. Global consultation process: Stakeholders to ensure that NCDs are included in the global thematic consultations.

4. Working Group on Sustainable development Goals: Stakeholders to liaise with members, once appointed, to encourage the inclusion of NCDs in sustainable development goals
