According to new WHO global estimates, this amounts to some 240 million young people aged 11–17 years who reported not completing at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on any day in the previous week.

The findings point to a lack of global progress on physical inactivity - major NCD risk factor - over the past 15 years.

Meet Emmanuella Selasi Hormenoo, a youth advocate living with type 1 #diabetes from Ghana. In her NCD Diary, she shares her story and advocacy journey.

Emmanuella calls for practical solutions to protect people from NCDs, including raising awareness and reforming food systems to prevent these diseases.

She advocates for cross-sectoral collaboration across government and a whole-of-society approach to ensure an effective response.

💬 "NCD prevention cannot remain a health sector responsibility; building healthier societies requires every stakeholder to recognise, understand and act on the issue," says Emmanuella. "We need all hands on deck to make prevention, early action and dignity for people living with NCDs shared priorities and responsibilities."
