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.
As Day 2 of #COP30 is about to kick off in 🇧🇷, check out the new I-CAN Playbook, a practical guide to help countries integrate nutrition into their climate plans (NDCs).🌱

Strong climate action starts with #Nutrition4All.

#Nutrition investment is not just about addressing hunger or malnutrition.

It’s about improving access to:

We must recognise the critical role of nutrition in achieving the SDGs by 2030.

DYK?

📍 800M people go to bed hungry
📍 3B don’t eat enough of the right foods

Hunger and malnutrition can’t be solved without transforming our food systems. So what will it really take to achieve progress in food systems transformation?👇
