On the sidelines of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, global leaders, advocates, and experts convened at the Edison Ballroom in New York for Beyond HLM4: Leading the Post-2025 NCD Agenda.

The high-level event, co-hosted by the governments of Indonesia, Norway, Thailand, and Uruguay, and organised by the NCD Alliance, brought together more than 200 participants from government, multilateral organisations, civil society, academia, philanthropy, and the private sector.

Timed on the eve of the 4th UN High-Level Meeting (HLM4) on NCDs and Mental Health, the evening provided a moment to reflect on the soon to be adopted Political Declaration and chart the next phase of action against the world’s leading causes of death and disability.
