Nutrition for Growth
Nutrition for Growth 2021
On 7-8 December 2021, the Government of Japan will host the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Summit 2021 (N4G 2021). The summit is an unprecedented opportunity to set the world on a pathway towards achieving the SDG targets – in particular, to end malnutrition in all its forms by 2030 and strengthen the link between diet, food systems and health. Its timing is key, with only 4 years to achieve the 2025 World Health Assembly targets, and less than 10 years to reach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. At N4G 2021, the government of Japan aims to work with partners to galvanise commitments from governments, civil society, private sector, donor agencies and the UN to end malnutrition in all its forms.
