This UNICEF framework outlines how child nutrition and climate change are interconnected, with the climate crisis exacerbating malnutrition through extreme weather events, food system disruptions, and rising food prices. It proposes a three-pronged action agenda focusing on adaptation, mitigation, and governance to build climate-resilient nutrition systems. It emphasizes equity, local action, and empowering vulnerable communities.
