A Nutrition Crisis in a
Warming World
The role of climate change as a threat multiplier risks exacerbating inequalities and undoing decades of progress for women and girls, especially in the areas of food security, nutrition, and gender equality. In this rapidly warming climate, hunger and malnutrition are predicted to rise 20% by 2050. Of those suffering from acute food insecurity, 60% are women and girls, highlighting the inequitable burden of malnutrition and food insecurity.
