AB Introduction Obesity, a complex chronic disease, is on the rise, leading to increased mortality, morbidity and societal challenges. This study explores intersectoral interventions focusing on the needs of people living with obesity (PLO).Methods and analysis An environmental scan of the published and unpublished literature will be conducted using Medline, Embase, Cumulated Index in Nursing and Allied Health Literature and specialised websites. To be included, citations must describe or evaluate an intersectoral intervention for PLO developed in primary care or community settings. Title and abstract, full-text screening and extraction will be completed by two independent reviewers. Discrepancies will be resolved through consensus. Data such as study and intervention characteristics will be extracted using a customised extraction template on Covidence and synthesised in a table. Findings from this study will guide intervention design and enhance intersectoral collaboration in primary care and community settings. A multidisciplinary group, including clinicians and two patient partners, will be consulted throughout the process. Despite the challenges of defining intersectoral collaboration and limited data on obesity as a chronic disease, this study is foundational for developing effective intersectoral interventions for PLO.Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval is not required. Findings will be disseminated through presentations at relevant conferences and other knowledge translation activities and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
