This review analyzes the interaction between climate change and the nutrition transition in Nigeria, highlighting the double burden of malnutrition—rising obesity alongside persistent undernutrition. The study examines five national food-related policies and their effectiveness in addressing food system challenges.
Findings suggest that unsustainable food systems, urbanization, and climate change exacerbate dietary inequalities, making it harder for vulnerable populations to access nutrient-dense foods. The study calls for integrated policy coherence that links nutrition, agriculture, and climate strategies to ensure human and planetary health.
