WHO sedentary behaviour and screen-time sources

I found a small set of official WHO sources that are relevant to sedentary behaviour, screen-related inactivity, and school policy use. The search did not retrieve the direct 2020 WHO guideline page, so the list below emphasizes the closest official WHO guidance and implementation resources that were found[1][2].
