Event purpose:

This event will create space to explore some of the key findings from this year’s report in more depth, specifically focusing on its recommendations around universal health coverage. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the impact of Covid-19 on nutrition and the threats and opportunities it presents to progress made since the first N4G Summit in 2013, as well as a snapshot of nutrition in the UK.

As we look ahead to the next N4G Summit, this event will allow for a diverse range of actors to discuss what action is needed to ensure faster and fairer progress towards improving nutrition, and the preservation of gains made so far.

Audience members are actively encouraged to submit their questions before the event. Please send your questions to [email protected] with 'UK Public-Parliamentary Online Event' in the subject line.
