Shaping Global Health Policy through Nursing Leadership: Partnerships and Solutions for a Healthier World

A Parallel Event to the United Nations 80th General Assembly and the High-Level Meeting 4 on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) and The NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing are co-hosting a parallel event alongside the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80) and the Fourth High-level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases (HLM4). This parallel event brings together global nursing leaders and partners to align priorities for collective UN engagement. Through panels and dialogue, participants will explore how nurses can drive progress on NCDs, UHC, workforce sustainability, and health worker safety using data and policy.

The session will introduce a draft Collaboration Agreement of Nursing Organizations to Influence the UN—outlining shared goals, advocacy messages, and next steps for joint action. Attendees will be invited to endorse the agreement and contribute to a coordinated nursing voice at the UN.

Join us on 27 September 2025 at 2:00PM UTC/GMT-4 at the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing for insightful discussions and networking!
