The global burden of malnutrition remains unacceptably high. Malnutrition is a universal issue restricting development and slowing progress. Malnutrition is responsible for more illness and ill-health than any other cause worldwide. Despite underlying determinants of undernutrition being well understood for decades, millions of children worldwide face multiple malnutrition burdens, and women face a higher burden than men when it comes to malnutrition due to higher nutrient needs. Despite these alarming statistics, significant strides are being made. Globally, stunting rates among children have declined and many countries are on their way to achieving at least one nutritional status target for 2025. However, a broader range of stakeholders must be more fully engaged if malnutrition is to be reduced in a sustainable manner, including increased engagement from the private sector. To support achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of ending all forms of malnutrition (goal 2.2), there must be urgent and decisive actions by all stakeholders to address existing data gaps, present new food systems innovations, ensure nutritious diets for all, fully finance nutrition action, and adhere to global commitments.
全球营养不良问题仍然令人无法接受。营养不良是一个普遍存在的问题，限制了发展，减缓了进步的步伐。营养不良是全世界造成更多疾病和健康不良的罪魁祸首。尽管几十年来人们已经很好地了解了导致营养不足的根本决定因素，但全世界仍有数百万人面临多种营养不良负担，而且由于营养需求较高，女性在面临营养不良问题时比男性面临更大的负担。尽管存在这些令人震惊的统计数据，但已经取得了重大进展。在全球范围内，儿童发育迟缓率有所下降，许多国家正在努力实现 2025 年至少实现一个营养状况目标。然而，如果要以可持续的方式减少营养不良，就必须让更广泛的利益攸关方更充分地参与进来，包括私营部门的更多参与。为了支持实现 2030 年消除一切形式营养不良的可持续发展目标（目标 2.2），所有利益攸关方必须采取紧急和果断的行动，以解决现有数据差距，提出新的食品系统创新，确保所有人都能获得营养饮食，充分资助营养行动，并遵守全球承诺。
