A Healthy Weight for Ireland: Obesity Policy and Action Plan 2016 - 2025 55 chapter seven conclusion chapter seven conclusion A Healthy Weight for Ireland is an ambitious policy and action plan to tackle obesity. It recognises that obesity and overweight are among the most significant public health challenges facing the country, and presents a plan to take action on their causes and outcomes. However, in formulating the Action Plan, we have recognised the challenges presented by these conditions. The Action Plan takes a life-course approach based on the best available evidence and on international models of best practice. It has given consideration to the measures that would best work in the Irish context, as informed by a comprehensive consultation with major stakeholders, health experts, healthcare providers and children. These considerations provide a foundation upon which the Ten Steps Forward, outlined in chapter 5, have been built. The solutions to obesity and overweight are multiple and complex; in order to be successful, every sector has a role to play in reducing the burden. Acknowledging this, the Action Plan involves all sectors in Ireland and includes a clear implementation pathway and indicators to measure progress. A Healthy Weight for Ireland – The Obesity Policy and Action Plan covers a ten-year period, up to 2025. It aims to turn the tide of the overweight and obesity epidemic, and increase the number of people with a healthy weight, by setting us on a path towards healthy weight becoming the norm. We now have a significant opportunity to act collectively to implement the actions set out in this Action Plan, and thereby reverse this pandemic.
