Alcohol Issues - Understanding the global governance of alcohol

Alcohol Issues - Episode 2

Understanding the global governance of alcohol

Movendi International's weekly conversation about the latest alcohol issues in policy and science and new alcohol industry revelations.

For this second episode, we are following-up on last week’s conversation with Dag Rekve, senior technical officer for alcohol, other drugs and addictive behaviors at the World Health Organization and we are going more in depth on some of the most interesting points that Dag Rekve talked about. Regarding the weekly highlights of alcoohl issues in policy, science and Big Alcohol revelations, we discuss a brand new WHO policy brief on COVID-19 and NCDs, a brand new study on the link between alcohol and obesity, and we shed light on the alcohol industry's continuing market concentration with a story from Nigeria.

In this follow-up episode, we explore the global governance of alcohol and examine in more detail the successes and failures of the last decade in global alcohol policy-making.
