How climate change interacts with inequity to impact nutrition

Abstract

Climate change is affecting patterns of inequity and inequality. People will experience climate change differently not only because of where they live, but because of who they are – because they grew up in poverty, or because of their gender, caste, ethnicity, age, sexuality or disability.

The climate crisis will continue to increase malnutrition among vulnerable populations via several pathways.

This research examines how climate change will affect malnutrition and inequity through the dimensions of fairness, justice and inclusion.
