As 2025 comes to an end, let us not forget the devastating loss of USAID & its impact for those who suffer from food insecurity and hunger. This New Yorker documentary reminds us about the loss and devastating consequences of rash decision-making. Powerful and tragic but a must watch. bit.ly/4aLjjYP

As I say here, this is not about saving the planet. The planet will be orbiting the sun long after we’re gone. The question is, will there be a healthy, thriving human society on that planet? The answer to that question is very much up for grabs at this point.

🌍 #Climatechange is fueling anaemia—already affecting nearly 2B people. Our Lancet Haematology piece calls for urgent cross-sector action: better data, resilient foods, early warning systems & elevating nutrition in climate talks #COP30. Link here: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The IPC data on famine in Gaza is utterly horrifying. Don't look away. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

Anaemia affects nearly 2B people, yet most countries are far off track to meet targets. Our new Lancet Haematology Commission calls for better data, stronger governance, and realistic goals (12–22% reduction by 2030 vs the current 50%). 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/S235...

🌍 Our new review shows how:
(1) Climate shocks hit food, water + health systems
(2) All forms of malnutrition are at risk
(3) Near-term events + long-term warming both drive risks
(4) Building resilience through food, social + nutrition systems is urgent. 🔗 shorturl.at/WmZki
