Integrating nutrition and health into climate action plans

By 2030, WHO commits to supporting at least 40 countries in integrating food, nutrition and health considerations into their climate action plans (e.g., Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans). This will be achieved through the Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate Action and Health (ATACH), and in partnership with the initiative on climate action and nutrition (I-CAN), by providing policy guidance and quality criteria on integrating nutrition and food safety into climate action plans, providing technical support and capacity-building programmes tailored to the health sector, and monitoring of achievements. This commitment aligns with global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), ensuring climate resilience while addressing all forms of malnutrition and health risks.
