Countries should implement a synergistic approach to taxing sugar (not just sugar-sweetened beverages but also sugary snacks3), tobacco and alcohol, as well as unhealthy nutrients.4 The international community should provide technical advice on taxation and removing subsidies for processed foods, alcohol, and fossil fuels, and for divesting from tobacco, alcohol, and fossil fuels; governments should also support healthy local food systems.5 Third, additional financial resources must be mobilised. [...]independent accountability should be fostered.
