+The '''International Obesity Task Force''' (IOTF) underwent a rebrand in 2014, changing its name to [[World Obesity/Policy & Prevention]]. World Obesity / Policy & Prevention has grown from, and replaces, the IOTF, a think tank originally convened in 1995 by Professor [[Philip James]] in order to 'prepare the first scientific research report on the global epidemic of obesity.' <ref> [http://www.worldobesity.org/what-we-do/policy-prevention/ /Policy & Prevention] ''World Obesity'', accessed 20 March 2015 </ref>
 Its stated aims and objections are "to alert the world to the growing health crisis threatened by soaring levels of obesity. It works with the [[World Health Organization]], other NGOs and stakeholders to address this challenge. The IOTF's mission is to inform the world about the urgency of the problem and to persuade governments that the time to act is now,".<ref>[http://www.iotf.org/whatisiotf.asp What is the IOTF]</ref>
