UNSCN Nutrition and Climate Change eGroup

Published by: Sarah Walpole on 30th Jan 2012 | View all blogs by Sarah Walpole
"The Nutrition and Climate change eGroup is an ad hoc online discussion forum, cre-ated with the aims of bringing a nutrition lens into climate change issues and increas-ing the participation of interested sectors to discuss how this can be done and what the priorities are.
This eGroup also intends to identify opportunities for the nutrition agenda and weak-nesses that hinder the participation of nutrition in such debates. It also intends to influence the agendas of the research community, since scientific publications feed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the production of their publications, and the IPCC itself shapes the United Nations Frame-work Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) agenda. There is also a need of an increasing sensitivity of donors to these issues in order to gather funding for climate change related initiatives.
You are very welcome to join the discussion, and you can subscribe by clicking here.
You can also check out some of the results of the eDiscussion here, including the participation in COP 16 and COP 17."
