The relationship between nutrition and climate is becoming a central driver for achieving sustainable development, as demonstrated by the launch of the Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition (I-CAN) at COP27, the first United Nations Climate Change Conference to have a Food Systems Pavilion. The new initiative is a partnership between Egypt (as COP27 Presidency), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), and other UN agencies and partners, to provide support on policies and actions that reduce climate change and improve nutrition.
