Connecting climate action and nutrition: paving the way to healthy diets from sustainable food systems
Actions to ensure healthy diets for all have huge potential to contribute to the reduction of malnutrition in all its forms and to promote healthy lives by substantially reducing the health burden of noncommunicable diseases and improving maternal and child health. Healthy diets can also significantly contribute to mitigate the environmental impact and climate change along the entire value chain. Urgent actions are needed to enhance sustainable efforts from farm to fork, while minimizing food loss and waste to combat climate change and improve people's well-being. This event will provide a platform to highlight interventions that are driving a transition to sustainable food systems and encourage consumers to choose sustainable and healthy diets. Examples include the food based dietary guidelines (such as the Nordic Council’s New Nutrition Recommendations), public food procurement policies, responsible marketing, tax incentives and reducing food loss and waste.
