As the Post-2015 Development Agenda was being articulated, UN agencies came together to advocate for nutrition to be prominently featured, recognizing its centrality to sustainable development. This policy brief and its supporting technical note describe the multidirectional linkages between nutrition and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), urging for more attention to nutrition among the goals. Furthermore, the technical note encourages dialogue on how to apply best practices at scale to resolve the world's nutrition challenges as quickly as possible. 

Note: This publication was developed under the auspices of the United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN), one of the precursors to UN-Nutrition.
