The Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition (I-CAN) baseline analysis demonstrates that financing and investing for programmes that link nutrition and climate is very low. Our current food systems do not ensure access to healthy diets for everyone and contribute to diet-related health issues; at the same time they put immense pressure on our environment. By investing in initiatives that address both nutrition and climate we can address two interconnected challenges simultaneously. However, more efforts should be done to align climate and nutrition sectors. Not only will this improve the health of our populations, but it will also contribute to the preservation of our planet for future generations.

Food and Agriculture Organization added to those conversations with an updated report that included ways to cut those livestock emissions.
