Watch Recording: Designing taxes on HFSS foods and beverages for healthier diets
27 February 2024Join us for the third webinar in the Policy Fix series on Feb 27th between 14:30 and 16:00 CET. We're diving into designing taxes on HFSS foods and beverages for healthier diets. This webinar will focus on the question: How can taxes on HFSS foods and beverages be effectively designed to drive healthier diets? Taxes on unhealthy products are a well-established tool for policymakers to drive healthier diets, particularly in regard to SSB taxes, which already cover more than half of the world's population. In view of the growing interest in more varied forms of HFSS taxes, this webinar seeks to explore the need for such taxes, and the key factors that ensure successful design and implementation of such policies. These include how designing taxes suited to specific contexts, and learning from successes and failures of previous taxes. Join us as we bring together multiple stakeholders across academia, intergovernmental organizations, government and private sector to develop a nuanced understanding of designing policies and priorities for future HFSS taxes.
