Climate Change and Nutrition

Ensuring nutritious diets in a climate constrained world

FAO Heaquarters – Rome, 18 October 2016

During CFS 43, UNSCN hosted the side event Ensuring nutritious diets in a climate constrained world to present examples of how we can safeguard our planet while making healthy, diverse and balanced diets available for all. The projected 51% increase in food-associated greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 could be reduced to seven percent if WHO Dietary Guidelines were adopted globally. The New Nordic Diet, the Brazilian Regional Food initiative and The Costa Rican Framework Law of Human Right for Food and Nutritional Security show us how this can be achieved.
