Table 1.

Examples of the interactions of obesity, undernutrition and climate change

• Obesity, stunting, and food insecurity in the same children and same population

• Car use, GHG emissions, inactivity, and obesity

• Cattle production, GHG emissions, meat consumption and obesity, diabetes, colon cancer and cardiovascular diseases

• Overproduction and overconsumption of ultra–processed foods and obesity

• Increased GHGs reduce crop yields and micronutrient content of crops which contribute to food insecurity and undernutrition
