Devastating climate events fuel hunger and disrupt food systems, hitting hardest in places that contribute least to climate change. Thanks to #AfricanClimateRoundtable for having me share how @WFP & partners like @ARCapacity are working together towards solving these problems.

In crises, WFP and @UNICEF assess and respond to cases of malnutrition. But when people are cut off by conflict or disaster, what do we do? Our #nutrition experts have created a new method to analyze malnutrition crises, so we can respond effectively in any given context.
