@scalingupnutrition.org
Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) is a country-led multisectoral/stakeholder movement advancing prosperity for people and the planet through #nutrition for all.
Pinned
The future starts with #nutritiON 🔛✳️.

Without it, children, communities & economies can’t thrive.

Anemia & obesity are rising, food prices fuel wasting.

The SUN Movement unites 65+ countries to integrate nutrition across all sectors & #PowerTheChange for a healthier future.
How can social protection improve nutrition?

The 🇬🇲 Nafa programme is a clear example with:
💰Cash transfers for healthy food & family investments paired with
📚Nutrition education

It’s more than support — it’s dignity & a chance to thrive.

Climate change is deepening malnutrition.

That’s why at #COP30, we're calling on leaders to ensure nutrition is integrated into climate strategies.

When climate action includes nutrition, we protect people, strengthen economies and build resilience.

Nous n’atteindrons pas la sécurité alimentaire sans un environnement durable. ☀️🌾

Le changement climatique affecte la #nutrition dans le monde entier, surtout dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire, compromettant santé et productivité.

Il est temps d’agir. #COP30

Investing in nutrition returns $23 per $1. But when it benefits women & girls, returns rise ~52%. Yet they continue to face disproportionate burdens of malnutrition.

#Nutrition investment is not just about addressing hunger or malnutrition.

It’s about improving access to:
🥗 Safe, nutritious foods
🏥Healthcare
📚 Education
🌾Stronger food systems

We must recognise the critical role of nutrition in achieving the SDGs by 2030.

For us at SUN, it’s a reminder: only cooperation can end malnutrition & unlock human potential.
