Video: The climate-nutrition nexus: linkages and implications

In a 5-minute explainer video, IFAD and WCDI illustrate the conceptual linkages between climate change and nutrition: “How is climate change affecting nutrition and vice versa?” By following Jane, a young farmer from Zimbabwe, the linkages and implications of the climate-nutrition nexus are explained. Examples of interventions in tackling malnutrition and taking climate action are also provided.

This video can be used for training purposes to encourage discussion around the climate-nutrition nexus. Also watch this video in Spanish or French.
