This paper aims to present the centrality of nutrition in the current sustainable development agenda. It provides an overview of the numerous and inter-related nutrition targets that have been agreed upon by intergovernmental bodies, placing these targets in the context of the SDGs and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. As such, this paper connects the dots between the various identified areas for policies and action, identifying opportunities for nutrition actors, including non-traditional ones, to be engaged and connected in a meaningful way.
