Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement
@scalingupnutrition.org
Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) is a country-led multisectoral/stakeholder movement advancing prosperity for people and the planet through #nutrition for all.
Pinned
The future starts with #nutritiON 🔛✳️.

Without it, children, communities & economies can’t thrive.

Anemia & obesity are rising, food prices fuel wasting.

The SUN Movement unites 65+ countries to integrate nutrition across all sectors & #PowerTheChange for a healthier future.
2025 was a tough year for #nutrition financing, but it also pushed us to work differently.

Embedding nutrition across sectors like climate and social protection is no longer optional.

In 2026, we’re focusing on turning integration into action.

More soon 🔜.

2016 feels like yesterday and, at the same time, a lifetime ago. The world has changed, but our goal hasn’t.

From 2016 to 2026, the SUN Movement has evolved, but the mission remains the same: ending malnutrition in all its forms.

Were you already part of SUN in 2016? When did you join?

Sugary drinks are still far too cheap & health systems are paying the price.

A new @who.int report shows that while 116 countries tax sugary drinks, these remain widely affordable, driving obesity, diabetes and diet-related NCDs.

SUN countries: have you introduced/strengthened a sugary drink tax?

It’s more than support — it’s dignity & a chance to thrive.

Climate change is deepening malnutrition.

That’s why at #COP30, we're calling on leaders to ensure nutrition is integrated into climate strategies.

When climate action includes nutrition, we protect people, strengthen economies and build resilience.

Nous n’atteindrons pas la sécurité alimentaire sans un environnement durable. ☀️🌾

Le changement climatique affecte la #nutrition dans le monde entier, surtout dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire, compromettant santé et productivité.

Il est temps d’agir. #COP30

For 80 years, the United Nations has brought countries together to tackle humanity's greatest challenges.

This #UNDay, we celebrate the power of multilateral cooperation – because the fight against malnutrition cannot be won by any single country or sector alone.

Together, we can #PowerTheChange.

NutritiON is a cornerstone of Universal Health Coverage.

To ensure better #Health4All, governments must:
➡️ invest in essential nutrition services
➡️ scale up primary health care services and
➡️ improve health worker capacity
