DESCRIPTION:The global epidemic of obesity presents a major and growing th
 reat to both health and equity. The arrival of GLP1 agonist drugs has been
  transformational for many people\, but they do not eliminate the problem\
 , and they bring some problems of their own. Public\, media and political 
 discourse around obesity is dominated by a framing that places responsibil
 ity at the individual level\, but the fundamental drivers of the problem a
 re structural.\n\nIt has become a cliché to describe obesity as a complex
  problem\, but all too often this rhetoric does not translate into reality
 . We need to move beyond cliché to examine and address complex interactio
 ns between multiple factors\, ranging from structural incentives within ou
 r research systems to the actions of corporations\, from sustainable food 
 systems to tackling stigma. None of this is or will be easy\, especially i
 n the current geopolitical climate\, but meaningful engagement with comple
 xity may help us to meet at least some of these pressing challenges.\nSpea
 kers:\nProfessor Harry Rutter (University of Bath)
