Internationale Angelegenheiten
66 countries leading a Global Movement to end malnutrition in all its forms

The SUN Movement brings together development agencies, inter-governmental organizations (especially the UN system), civil society groups, and business to support government-led actions that improve peoples nutrition. 66 SUN Countries from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa, home to at least half of the world’s chronically undernourished children, have joined the SUN Movement. The emphasis of the Movement is on effective implementation of national plans that combine proven nutrition interventions, with the pursuit of multi-sectoral strategies that address the underlying determinants of malnutrition.

🚨 The #SOFI2024 report, launched today by FAO, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), World Health Organization, UNICEF, World Food Programme, identifies major trends in hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity in 2023 and a growing challenge to achieving #SDG2. 📈The report reveals a troubling setback of 15 years, with global undernourishment levels now akin to those of 2008-2009. While there has been some progress in areas like stunting and exclusive breastfeeding, food insecurity and malnutrition remain alarmingly high. Global hunger has plateaued for three years, with 713-757 million people undernourished in 2023—about 152 million more than in 2019. With the world not on track to reach any of the seven global #nutrition targets by 2030, the report highlights the urgency of changing the financing architecture to build stronger and more resilient food systems and tackle malnutrition. We have no time to waste: we must step up efforts and #PowerTheChange 🔋 Read the report 🔎 https://lnkd.in/et_DVFZt

The latest article from The Economist highlights how small investments in #nutrition during the first 1,000 days after conception can transform lives and make the world brainier. 🌎 🧠 The story of Kebita Naima, who endured severe malnutrition while pregnant, highlights how crucial early nutrition is for brain development. Her daughter, born amid these hardships, shows slower cognitive and physical development compared to her better-nourished brother. As Meera Shekar from The World Bank explains, the "golden window" from the third trimester to the second birthday is vital. Well-nourished brains form a million synapses a second, while malnutrition leads to irreversible damage. This underscores the urgent need for targeted nutrition investments to #PowerTheChange for a brighter future for all.

Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement hat dies direkt geteilt
In reflection of yesterday's #HLPF2024 discussions, where SDG 2 took central stage in two key events, it is worth reiterating how the interconnected challenges hindering progress towards #Nutrition4All can be better understood and addressed. From the different interventions, it is clear that addressing malnutrition, and in particular its impact on women and young people, requires more robust and resilient food systems, better integration of health services, and stronger social protections. Through the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, we are committed to forging partnerships and securing financing to achieve these crucial goals. It was a great privilege to deliver a keynote speech at the event organized by the Permanent Mission of Switzerland. I was honoured to share the stage with leaders from Malawi, Bangladesh, and Brazil, who highlighted the profound impact of malnutrition on global economies and the urgency to tackle it. As we approach the end of the United Nations Decade of Action on #Nutrition and with five years remaining to reach the #SDGs, we have to keep a strong focus on implementation at the national level based on strong data and evidence, clear policies, building on the power of concerted action by civil society, governments at national and sub national levels, international organizations and the private sector. Strong mechanisms for accountability, monitoring and reporting will lead to better food systems that both nourish people and nurture our planet. Only by working together, we can #PowerTheChange for a more resilient, prosperous and equal future for all.
