HLCC Healthy Lifestyle Coach Certification Global Launch The Pioneer Award will be presented during the inaugural Global Green Development and Healthy Lifestyle Summit. At the summit, the HLCC (Healthy Lifestyle Coach Certification) international certification system will be officially launched for global implementation. This initiative is being organised by UNESCO-ICHEI and the Federation of Asian Nutrition Societies (FANS), and co-organised by the South East Asian Ministers of Education Organisation (SEAMEO), the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetics Association (SNDA), Kampung Senang Charity and Education Foundation, GMC Singapore and the International Leading Education Alliance (ILEA). Leveraging the multi-language AI teaching platform of the International Institute of Online Education (IIOE), the certification offers more than just standardised, replicable curriculum resources. It also provides international recognition and enhances career prospects, while promoting the deep integration of education and public health worldwide. This initiative aims to inject new momentum into achieving Sustainable Development Goals 3 (SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). The launch of the HLCC marks a significant step forward for the IIOE ecosystem in promoting the health and sustainable lifestyles of people everywhere. The summit not only builds a consensus for global health and green development, but also, through the implementation of the HLCC international certification system, presents a global vision for creating a greener future and a new blueprint for a healthy life for humanity.
