Gates Foundation seeks increased global health financing against malnutrition, disease

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation appeals to world leaders to increase global health spending in areas of need to boost children’s health and nutrition, especially in the face of the global climate crisis.

The foundation made the call in its eighth annual Goalkeepers report released on Tuesday.

The Goalkeepers report, “A Race to Nourish a Warming World,” projects that without immediate global action, climate change would impact an additional 40 million children to stunting and 28 million more to wasting between 2024 and 2050.
