UNICEF warns of climate change worsening child malnutrition in Asia

ENDING CHILD HUNGER

According to Kuppa, the feeding problems in Asia is getting more and more pressing, with about 19 million children being” chronically undernourished.”

Malnutrition, which is an imbalance between the nutrition one’s body needs and the nutrition it receives, is substantially stymie children’s physical and mental creation, he said.  

We even notice that vitamin and mineral deficiencies are still very prevalent, and that more and more kids are overweight and obese at the same time.  

So, in my opinion, what we really need to make sure is that youngsters have access to the right foods, the right companies, and the proper techniques, and that we support governments in putting in place the appropriate programs and policies to address these types of hunger. ”

One of the biggest obstacles to addressing nutrition is, according to Kuppka, the funding of support programs.

He made the point that “mechanismes” that you assess several financing requirements and encourage the production of some nutrient-dense food in settings where they are required are needed.  

Kupka cited UNICEF’s creation of the Child Nutrition Fund to expedite the implementation of green policies, programs, and materials to end child malnutrition.  

We believe that will actually help this area and other areas combat hunger. ”
