Policy and advocacy

WCRF International works to influence policy changes that make it easier for people to make the kind of healthy choices that can help prevent cancer.

Working on behalf of all WCRF global network charities, we are involved in a number of projects to influence governments and key decision-takers to do all they can to achieve a health-promoting environment for all.
