14 Nov 2022 --- The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its I-CAN report (Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition), which stresses that nutrition insecurity will be further exacerbated if UN climate change goals are not met. Parallel to this at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, representatives from different governmental agencies came together for a session on how progress toward the Paris Agreement targets can be accelerated. The WHO report warns that 30% of the world’s population faces micronutrient deficiency, 647 million people are obese and 828 million are undernourished. The impact of climate change further threatens food security and nutrition through “a variety of forces.”
