Four Pathways for Climate – Nutrition integration in Indonesian policies
Why Climate and Nutrition Integration Matters? Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it intersects with systemic multiple aspects of human life.

The I-CAN Assessment 2025 aims to provide a snapshot into the current state of integration between climate and nutrition action across 16 indicators in policy and finance.

However, the report also helps to highlight priority areas for action, spotlighting examples of best practice we can learn from as we progress into the second half of this critical decade for the SDGs and climate action.
Local and traditional food markets for thriving ‘’smart cities’’
Local and traditional food retail markets are inherent in a city’s social fabric and the urban food environment. Millions of residents connect daily through food at local and traditional markets; and for many low income urban residents, this is their primary source of food.
