Background This report presents a summary of presentations and discussions held as a regional dialogue among a network of experts, food retail practitioners, government representatives and other stakeholders engaged with UNICEF and Deakin University in November 2023 on the role of retailers in East Asia and Pacific. This regional dialogue and subsequent reports form part of a three-year collaboration between UNICEF and Deakin University researchers. The aim of the collaboration is to increase access to healthier food in urban retail settings within the region and help children realise their right to adequate nutrition. Contribution The report details the topics explored during the dialogue including: the business case for retailers interested in improving food environments for children; the view of parents, caregivers, adolescents, and business stakeholders from the region as consumer insights informing retail environments; the recently launched Guidance Framework to Support Healthier Food Retail Environments for Children; as well as existing retail solutions emerging in the region and globally. Significance The event gathered large food retailers, researchers, non-governmental organisations, and representatives of governments in the region to hear and talk about emerging approaches to creating, healthy retail food environments in the East Asia and Pacific region. This report also summarizes reflections setting an ambition for the East Asia and Pacific region in the coming years to protect children's right to nutritious foods, healthy food environments and food practices.Publication classification
