Final Report to the SCN by the 2020 Commission
About the 2020 Commission Report
The Final Report to the SCN by the Commission on the Nutrition Challenges of the 21st Century -- Ending Malnutrition by 2020: an Agenda for Change in the Millennium was published in 2000. The Commission stated that we now know what needs to be done and have seen that rapid but sustained improvements in nutrition are possible. It is clear that current international support systems are inadequate. Current UN goals relating to undernutrition are incoherent and unambitious, which is why the Commission was challenging the UN to consider a new goal of ending malnutrition by 2020. This, they believed, is ambitious but achievable and would challenge the UN, national governments and other agencies to implement the various proposals and turn words into action.
