Health Talks for the Nutrition For Growth Summit

In June, 2021, WHO organized a successful first series of Health Talks prior to the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit calling for partners to ensure health is at the centre of the Food Systems Summit processes. Now, in preparation for the N4G Summit, the UNICEF Nutrition Section of the Program Group and the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety of WHO will host a week-long series of virtual events focused on improving nutrition through a multi-system approach. The week’s events will highlight key priorities and actions that countries are taking, or are planning to take, to deliver essential nutrition actions in health systems and promote safe and healthy diets to ensure health and well-being for all, leaving no one behind. 

An overview of the week events can be found here: https://n4g-health-week.heysummit.com/ UNICEF and WHO are working on providing interpretation for English, French, Spanish, Russian and Arabic.
