The UN General Assembly has extended the Decade of Action on Nutrition through 2030, originally from 2016–2025, in response to the ongoing global nutrition crisis. Despite progress in areas like breastfeeding and stunting reduction, significant gaps remain in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets for nutrition, driving the extension. As the global community faces challenges like geopolitical tensions and funding gaps, this extension marks a moment in efforts to eliminate malnutrition and end diet-related noncommunicable diseases by 2030.
