Education for nutrition and biodiversity

Join at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris for a crucial discussion on education, nutrition, and biodiversity!

On 26 March 2025, the #GEMReport UNESCO, UN Environment Programme, and the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition are co-hosting an official Nutrition for Growth Summit side event: “Learn to Eat Well: Biodiverse Diets and Youth as Agents of Change”

Why does this matter?
Education plays a critical role in improving global nutrition and health. Schools shape food habits, promote biodiversity in diets, and empower youth as change-makers in food systems.

What to expect:
✅ Launch of the #LearnToEatWell paper by the GEM Report and the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition, the research initiative of the School Meals Coalition of 100+ countries. 
✅ Insights from the UNESCO International Food Atlas and UNEP’s Facilitation Guide for a Youth-led Month of Action on Food.
✅ “Planning for Learners to Thrive” — a dialogue organized by UNESCO and the Inter-Agency Group for School Health and Nutrition on integrating health, nutrition, and well-being into national education plans.

Location: UNESCO Headquarters, Paris
