UNICEF Framework for Child Nutrition and Climate Action

Child malnutrition and climate change are two of the greatest threats facing nations today. They converge geographically, share common systemic and societal drivers, and exacerbate one another. Millions of families are struggling to meet children’s nutritional needs under the strain of climate change, while greenhouse gas emissions from food systems remain one of the main drivers of the climate crisis. This Action Framework guides UNICEF nutrition programmes on how to minimize the impact of climate change on child nutrition, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with nutrition delivery systems.
