Why accelerating climate change mitigation is critical for food and nutrition security

As climate change accelerates, developing countries face a critical crossroads: how to grow sustainably while contributing to global mitigation efforts. Integrating food and nutrition security into climate strategies is no longer optional, it’s essential.
