PHI’s proposal for a Sustainable Development (SD) Learning Event on “Integration of food and nutrition security, health and gender in climate resilient-sustainable development” at RIO+20 has been pre-selected by the conference organizers of RIO+20 to be voted on by the general public.

PHI is co-organizing this SD learning session with the World Food Programme (WFP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Global Gender Climate Alliance (GGCA) and the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (UN SCN), Action Against Hunger (ACF), Oxfam, and the World Bank (WB).

RIO+20 offers an unique opportunity to all nations, non-governmental organizations, major groups and individuals to influence the “future we want.” The future we want needs to integrate public health, food and nutrition security, gender equity as key pillars of climate resilient – sustainable development and PHI’s SD learning event on “Integration of food and nutrition security, health and gender in climate resilient-sustainable development” is the only learning event that proposes this inter-sectoral framework.
