Join World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) International for Putting cancer on the label: Lessons for advancing alcohol policy across the globe, a webinar exploring how cancer warning labels can raise awareness of the link between alcohol and cancer, and help to tackle alcohol harm.
Bringing together speakers from the UK, Ireland, and South Korea, the webinar will share practical lessons on advancing alcohol labels, including effective advocacy strategies, overcoming implementation challenges and mitigating industry influence.
The discussion will be informed by WCRF International’s newly launched alcohol labelling brief, which sets out the case for mandatory cancer warnings and nutritional information on alcohol products.
