American Cancer Society Co-sponsors Tobacco Control Workshop at United Nations Conference in Melbourne, Australia

The 63rd United Nations Annual Department of Public Information / Non-Governmental Organizations (UN DPI/NGO) Conference was held from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, 2010, in Melbourne, Australia. The theme of the conference was “Advance Global Health: Achieve the MDGs” (MDGs are the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals). The meeting was a great success, with over 350 NGOs and 1600 individuals attending. The NCD Alliance supported five workshops during this conference, one of which, Overcoming Barriers to Achieving the MDGs: Tackling Tobacco Use and Non-Communicable Diseases, was sponsored by the World Lung Foundation, and cosponsored by the American Cancer Society, The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, Union for International Cancer Control, World Heart Federation, and Framework Convention Alliance. During this workshop, Rachel Kitonyo, Chair of the Africa Tobacco Control Alliance, made a presentation on the issue of tobacco control in Africa. Sir George Alleyne, distinguished scholar and currently serving as the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean, delivered a wonderful speech during the closing ceremony, emphasizing the need to address the growing burden of NCDs (http://www.viostream.com/un/). 

 

NCDs, including cancer, are now included in the final declaration from the conference that was presented to the UN Secretary General. This declaration states that “Millions of people die prematurely of non communicable diseases, as well as TB, malaria and complications of AIDS every year" and also calls the international community “to ensure governments respect and implement existing international covenants and agreements that will make major improvements to health such as the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control”.  Kiyo Akasaka, UN Under-Secretary-General, received the declaration and mentioned that it would be useful in informing the debate at the MDGs Summit taking place on September 20 in New York. The Melbourne UN DPI/NGO Conference helped provide more momentum for the NCD advocacy movement, as we gear up for the High Level UN Meeting on the prevention and control of NCDs next year.
