The World Health Organization (WHO) would like to invite you to a special one-day media workshop in Dublin focused on the prevention of noncommunicable diseases, with a spotlight on tobacco control.
This interactive workshop will feature panels with leading journalists, media trainers, and public health experts. You’ll get the opportunity to sharpen your skills, have access to health experts and networking opportunities.
Date: 23 June
Location: The Convention Centre, Dublin
As a participant, you will also receive full journalist access to the World Conference on Tobacco Control (WCOTC), taking place from 23–25 June 2025. At the World Conference, WHO will launch the 2025 Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, a wake-up call wrapped in hard data and bold truths. This year’s edition tracks tobacco control progress in every country since 2023, revealing who’s leading, who’s lagging, and where the fight is intensifying. It highlights the percentage of the world now protected by smoke-free laws, the growing number of countries regulating or banning e-cigarettes, and how many countries are hitting back at Big Tobacco with powerful graphic health warnings on cigarette packs and increased taxes.
With the industry aggressively targeting youth through flavored products and slick marketing, the report lays bare the global push to protect the next generation. The report will be released under embargo at a virtual press conference on the afternoon of 23 June. The embargo lifts at 18h GMT.
WCOTC is the premier global gathering for public health experts, policymakers, researchers, and advocates committed to reducing tobacco use and improving health. The conference offers powerful storytelling opportunities around new research, emerging policies, and global tobacco control progress.
