The UK recognises the important links between climate change and nutrition, and will continue our work on food systems in order to delivers gains for nutrition, as well as for climate and the environment. Although no specific impact assessment has been undertaken on the potential effect of reductions in nutrition aid funding on food-associated greenhouse gas emissions, the UK commitment to climate action continues, including the COP26 presidency and our international climate finance spending commitment.
