Abstract

Climate change is emerging as a major threat to food and nutrition security, particularly for women and children. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, droughts, floods, and extreme weather events disrupt agricultural production, reduce food availability, increase food prices, and compromise diet quality. Climate-related diseases, water insecurity, and damage to health and sanitation services further worsen nutritional outcomes. Women and children are especially vulnerable because of biological, social, and economic disadvantages. The report emphasizes that climate change affects nutrition through food systems, health services, water and sanitation, and caregiving practices. It calls for climate-resilient food systems, strengthened nutrition services, social protection, and integrated policies linking climate adaptation with nutrition and child well-being.
