The climate crisis isn’t just an environmental crisis, it's a nutrition crisis. Climate change is affecting what we eat: from food production to access to healthy diets, the impacts are growing. Nutrition MUST be part of climate action.

What we choose to prioritize in #health systems says a lot about who we’re building them for⚕️. When #nutrition is embedded from the start, health services become more effective and more equitable. This is about making health systems work better, earlier, and for everyone.

Maternal, infant, and young child nutrition is a top priority for SUN Countries, home to the majority of the world's most nutritionally vulnerable people. With 93 million stunted children in our 67 member countries, we can't afford to wait. It's time to #PowerTheChange at the WHO Executive Board.

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?
