As the world prepares to adopt the 2025 UN Political Declaration on Noncommunicable Diseases, the real challenge begins: Translating bold commitments into real-world impact.

At this critical moment in time for respiratory health, we cannot afford to fail. The global respiratory health community, including clinicians, policymakers, public health experts, and civil society, must move from statements to action. It is time to collaborate globally to build a clear roadmap that translates high-level political commitments into concrete, coordinated, and context-specific implementation strategies.

Join us on September 27th for an interactive panel discussion on the crucial actions needed to reduce preventable respiratory deaths by 2030, featuring our high-level speakers:

· Jose Luis Castro, WHO Director-General, Special Envoy for Chronic Respiratory Diseases

· Tonya Winders, President, Global Allergy and Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP)

· Siân Williams, Chief Executive Officer, International Primary Care Respiratory Group

· Prof Richard van Zyl-Smit, PHD, Pulmonologist, Professor at University Cape Town & Groote Schuur Hospital

· Dr Min Zhang, PHD, Senior Pulmonologist, Director and Chief, Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai General Hospital
