Abstract

Abstract In October 2019 the WHO Regional Office for Europe hosted a meeting of experts from across Europe, representing a range of sectors including academia, government, NGOs, procurement and professional cooking. The aim of the meeting was to highlight and prioritise key issues and discuss the actions needed to address these, the resources needed and the stakeholder engagement necessary to drive change. One key outcome is the development of a data platform for healthy and sustainable diets. This tool will enable countries to use their own data to adapt their own diets on a national and subnational level to the evidence-based global reference diet developed by recent scientific publications. Training materials will be developed alongside the data platform to enable key stakeholders and decision makers to build capacity in their own countries. The platform will empower policymakers within countries to develop and introduce national level initiatives to improve diets in terms of health and sustainability.
