❓ Why provide #humanitarian assistance before a natural disaster strikes? #ClimateExtremes are a key driver of #foodinsecurity. At the same time, the climate crisis is intersecting with and exacerbating other drivers of hunger, including conflict and economic downturns. Traditional humanitarian response systems need to evolve from crisis response to forward-looking risk management. The Swiss-co-funded World Food Programme's Anticipatory Action is one way to achieve this. This proactive approach is transforming humanitarian aid, leveraging advances in early warning systems, and empowering communities and governments to respond to crises before they occur. 🔗 Read more about how WFP’s Anticipatory Action Programme is saving lives: https://lnkd.in/ern4a2Qr

How can we improve human health and environmental sustainability? Diets are the link between people and planetary health that we need to address to reach #SDG2 “zero hunger and improved nutrition” SDG 2 is interlinked and integrated within the 17 SDGs but it is this year under particular review along with SDG 1, 13, 16 and 17, during the High Level Political Forum #HLPF which gathers governments, NGOs and experts in New York for two weeks. Switzerland engaged in the conversations by organizing a side-event on “Measuring and expanding progress on healthy diets from sustainable food systems: implications for achieving SDG2” with the contribution of the governments of Brazil, Costa Rica, Malawi as well as the FAO and Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement. This event was an opportunity to share insights about what constitutes #healthydiets and why and how diets should be better measured. Switzerland’s Bundesamt für Statistik BFS indicated that, along with Bangladesh, Brazil and Malawi and the support of UN agencies, it has put forward a proposal to include “Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD)” as a new indicator under SDG 2. Participants to the side-event agreed that all stakeholders need to reinforce the global efforts to fight against all forms of malnutrition (underweight, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight) with effective policy actions both in the food and health systems. And that SDG global targets can be achieved if diets are better assessed and addressed. 👉 Read more about “Promoting dietary diversity to achieve the 'zero hunger' goal” and Switzerland’s activities to transform food systems: https://lnkd.in/gzVTSNm5 Agenda2030CH EDA - DFAE - FDFA Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN in Rome UNICEF World Health Organization International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) World Food Programme
