Agenda Item: 
24.4 Engagement with non-State actors: Report on the implementation of the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors
Statement: 

We’re all here because we want to ensure as many people as possible live in healthy environments and societies. The problem is that the alcohol industry derails and demolishes WHO-recommended alcohol policy best buy implementation across the world.

In a new report, Movendi International documents more than 100 cases in 2024 alone how the alcohol industry violates the provisions of the Global Alcohol Action Plan and the political declaration of the 3rd HLM on NCDs.

That’s why we call on the Secretariat to terminate the annual dialogue with the alcohol industry.

We also call for WHO to provide more support to member states in protecting alcohol policy initiatives from conflicts of interest and alcohol industry interference.
