The announcement follows 澳门在线赌城娱乐’s decision in October 2019 to continue to fund its 青少年健康计划 to 2025 with an overall commitment of $35m (£28m).

The 澳门在线赌城娱乐 青少年健康计划 will work with 联合国儿童基金会 and other partners to raise awareness of the risks and effects of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, preventable cancers and mental health conditions among young people and key decision-makers.

The World Health Organisation (谁) identifies NCDs as the number one cause of death worldwide¹ and found that 70% of premature deaths from NCDs can be linked back to behaviours that first appear in adolescence². 类似的, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has predicted that NCDs will cost the worldwide economy more than $47 trillion in lost productivity and wages by 2030³.

帕斯卡Soriot, 首席执行官, said: “We believe in the power of young people to change the trajectory of the staggering burden of disease we face today, 世界各地. Improving the health outcomes of future generations is a critical part of developing strong and stable healthcare systems, which in turn support sustainable markets and the economic prosperity of nations.”

Since its launch in 2010, the 青少年健康计划 has reached more than 3.5 million young people across six continents and trained more than 50,000 peer educators.

加里·斯特尔, 导演, 联合国儿童基金会私人筹款和伙伴关系, said: “The health and futures of young people must not be compromised by unhealthy lifestyles and behaviours. I am happy that 联合国儿童基金会 is joining a coalition of committed partners with the support of 澳门在线赌城娱乐 to bring attention to NCDs which are now the world’s biggest killers. The burden of these diseases is closely linked to socio-economic factors and more work needs to be done on delivering the right messages through the right channels in countries to encourage healthy behaviours.”

The other allies in the 青少年健康计划 are founding partner, 社区项目领导, 国际计划, 青年参与和发展引领“一个青年世界”, 以及全球30多个非营利性合作伙伴, all working to improve health outcomes for young people through thoughtful programming, 研究和青年参与活动.

自2010年以来 青少年健康计划 已经覆盖了300多万年轻人, 通过多种方案, advocacy and research activities designed to increase awareness and understanding of NCD prevention. These have ranged over 24 countries and six continents from Australia to Zambia. 项目包括瑞典的一对一辅导, to long-running community-based behaviour change programmes involving hundreds of thousands of young people in Brazil and India. 方法可能会有所不同, but the drive is always the same – to help young people to lead longer, 更快乐、更健康的生活. 欲了解更多信息，请访问 younghealthprogrammeyhp.com.
