Abstract: Since the first United Nations High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on NCDs in 2011, the NCD community has been able to point to many successes on the global stage: Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) are recognised as the world's biggest killer and cause of disability, constituting a global health crisis that requires an urgent policy response.This was acknowledged by world leaders at three UN HLMs on NCDs, meriting a dedicated target in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. 1 "25 by 25" targets: The WHO Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013-2020 (WHA resolution WHA66.10)includes nine voluntary global targets, including a 25% relative reduction in premature mortality from NCDs by 2025; SDG 3.4: A one-third reduction, relative to 2015 levels, in the probability of dying between 30 years and 70 years of age from cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes by 2030. 2 NCD Countdown 2030: worldwide trends in non-communicable disease mortality and progress towards Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4.The Lancet.22 September 2018.Available at: http://www.ncdcountdown.org/publications.html(accessed 27 November 2019).3 NCD Countdown 2030: 35 (19%) for women and 30 (16%) for men.4 NCD Countdown 2030: 50 (27%) countries for women and 35 (19%) for men.5 NCD Countdown 2030: 86 (46%) countries for women and 97 (52%) for men.6 NCD Countdown 2030: 15 (8%) countries for women and 24 (13%) for men.7 NCD Alliance network survey.2019.
