Ref.: C.L.19.2026
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States and Associate Members and has the honour to inform them that the sixth
edition in the series Walk the Talk: The Health for All Challenge, will be held on Sunday, 17
May 2026 in the morning, prior to the opening of the Seventy-ninth World Health Assembly
(18–23 May 2026). The Walk the Talk will commence officially at 08:00 (CEST) in Place des
Nations, with opening speeches at 09:00 (CEST), followed by family photo, start of walk to
WHO, return to Place des Nations, with event scheduled to end by 11:00 (CEST).
The Director-General conveys his gratitude to Member States and Associate Members for
the support provided to the 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 events, each of which attracted
thousands of participants. The participation of delegations and the general public demonstrated
the need for a whole-of-society approach to the promotion of healthy lifestyles and partnership
for health.
Building on these successes, the Organization is staging the event in partnership with the
City, Canton of Geneva, and the Swiss Confederation, and would welcome Member States’
participation and collaboration.
This year’s event will provide a platform to promote WHO’s work in the space of sport
and health and the Organization’s engagement with youth to advance our common mission of
Health for All.
To support Member States’ participation in the Walk the Talk event in Geneva, each
delegation will be provided with t-shirts for use at the event and promotional posters to consider
placing at Geneva-based Permanent Missions. Further information, including on how to register
online, can be found here.
For any additional information and/or clarification about the event, an email can be sent to
Mr Paul Garwood, Unit Head, Positioning and Leadership Communications (
[email protected]).
The Director-General of the World Health Organization avails himself of this opportunity
to renew to Member States and Associate Members the assurance of his highest consideration.
