Children without enough of the right food are also more vulnerable to diseases like measles and malaria, and early death.<br \/>\n\u201cAround 90 percent of the negative effect of climate change works through the food system. Where you have years where your crops basically fail because of drought or too much rain,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nGates was speaking ahead of the publication of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation\u2019s annual Goalkeepers report, which tracks progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), around reducing poverty and improving health. The report includes the projections above.<br \/>\nIn 2023, the World Health Organization estimated that 148 million children experienced stunting and 45 million experienced wasting.<br \/>\nGates called for more funding for nutrition, particularly through a new platform led by UNICEF aiming to co-ordinate donor financing, the Child Nutrition Fund, as well as more research. But he said the money should not be taken away from other proven initiatives, like routine childhood vaccinations, for this purpose.<br \/>\n\u201c(Nutrition) was under-researched &#8230; it\u2019s eye-opening how important this is,\u201d he added, saying initiatives like food fortification or improving access to prenatal multi-vitamins could be as effective as some vaccines in improving child health in the world\u2019s poorest countries.<br \/>\nThe Gates Foundation said in January it plans to spend more on global health this year than ever before \u2014 $6.8 billion \u2013 as wider funding efforts stall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAround 90 percent of the negative effect of climate change works through the food system.
