Joint Statement on Wasting at UNGA 80

The Global Wasting Advocacy Coalition and the Global Nutrition Cluster are issuing a joint statement to call for urgent, coordinated action at UNGA 80 to address the escalating child wasting crisis. 

Political will can stop the wasting crisis and prevent further backsliding. But without urgent action, 2026 will be even deadlier. This is not just a nutrition crisis, it’s a child survival emergency.

The Joint Statement on Wasting for UNGA80 is also available in French.
