📣 The 2020 Global Nutrition Report is out!

We are excited to announce that the 2020 Global Nutrition Report is out and was launched today! You can read the full report .

 As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten food and health systems around the world, the Global Nutrition Report calls on governments, businesses and civil society to step up efforts to address malnutrition in all its forms.

The 2020 report brings together the best-available data on malnutrition, proposing a new analysis that goes beyond global and national patterns to reveal significant inequalities within countries and populations. As ever, this year’s report presents the most comprehensive picture of the state of nutrition at the global, regional and country level, and tracks progress against global nutrition targets and the commitments made to reach them.

The 2020 report focuses on equity and unpacks the role of inequities in ending malnutrition in all its forms. Through this lens, the report reveals the challenges and opportunities for improving nutrition outcomes by tackling injustices in food and health systems, supported by strong financing and accountability.

COVID-19 has exposed the fragility of food and health systems, disproportionately impacting already vulnerable populations. Malnutrition affects our immune system, leaving us more susceptible to infection, and the socio-economic impact of the pandemic could in turn drive malnutrition globally. As we look to reinforce our resilience to global stresses, nutrition must become a key component of any emergency or long-term response. 

You can participate in the launch campaign by engaging with posts on Facebook and Twitter.
