On 16 December 2025, leaders from across the world at the Eightieth United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the political declaration to combat noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health challenges through a fully integrated approach.
Titled “Equity and integration: transforming lives and livelihoods through leadership and action on noncommunicable diseases and the promotion of mental health and well-being”, the political declaration is the first such declaration addressing NCDs and mental health together, and marks a unique opportunity to accelerate global progress with a set of specific global targets for 2030. The declaration underlines how persons with disabilities have a higher risk of NCDs and mental health conditions.
