Launch of the 2026 Global Nutrition Report: Integrating food and health systems to deliver nutrition amidst climate change

This high-level thematic session at Rome Nutrition Week 2026, will launch the 2026 Global Nutrition Report: Integrating food and health systems for climate-resilient nutrition.

As climate change, conflict and economic pressures increasingly strain food and health systems, nutrition outcomes remain uneven. This session will explore why intentional integration across food, health and related systems, with nutrition at the centre, can accelerate development gains, strengthen resilience and advance healthy diets for all.

Co-organised in collaboration with the European Commission and the governments of Canada, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom, the discussion will focus on how policymakers, commitment makers and practitioners can better navigate trade-offs, invest in integrated approaches and strengthen accountability in a changing world.

Date: Thursday, 28 May at 14:00 – 15:15 CEST

Venue: Green Room, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Headquarters, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00153 Rome, Italy

The session will:

• Highlight why intentional integration action across systems is critical as pressures intensify.
• Explore how investment in shared infrastructure enables more resilient responses to shocks.
• Foster honest dialogue on navigating trade-offs, grounded in country leadership and context.
• Surface gaps in accountability, showing that financing and follow-through are needed
• Introduce a new framework for coherent, climate‑resilient nutrition action across food and health systems.
