"Nutrition Critical" Japan Online Report Launch Event on 24 Feb 2021
- アドボカシー
According to a new report “Nutrition Critical” published by Save the Children in December 2020, pandemic-related malnutrition is projected to kill an average of 153 children a day over the next two years if action is not taken. In addition, a COVID-19-induced spike in the number of global malnutrition cases could push an additional 9.3 million children to suffer from wasting, a result of acute malnutrition that can lead to death.
In this event, Save the Children will introduce the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on nutrition and actions required to avert the nutrition crisis in the coming years. We will also invite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan to provide updates on the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Summit 2021, its Vision and Roadmap, and the Nutrition for Growth Year of Action. We will then have a panel discussion with multisectoral stakeholders to exchange views on the significance of commitment and investment to tackle malnutrition.
