About GAIN

The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) is a Swiss-based foundation launched at the UN in 2002 to tackle the human suffering caused by malnutrition. Working with both governments and businesses, we aim to transform food systems so that they deliver more nutritious food for all people. In particular, we aim to make healthier food choices more desirable, more available, and more affordable.


GAIN's mission is to advance nutrition outcomes by improving consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially the most vulnerable to malnutrition. GAIN, alongside our partners WHO (World Health Organization), FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), UNEP (UN Environment Programme) and SUN (Scaling Up Nutrition) movement are co-leading on the Initiative on Climate Action and Nutrition (I-CAN).


I-CAN is a multistakeholder, multisectoral global flagship initiative that will help foster collaboration and integrative action to accelerate transformative action to address the critical nexus of climate change and nutrition. Was launched during COP27 under the Presidency of the Government of Egypt. In 2023, I-CAN published a report, Accelerating Action and Opening Opportunities, A Closer Integration of Climate and Nutrition, also termed the 'I-CAN Baseline Assessment which aimed to provide a snapshot into the current state of integration between climate and nutrition across policy, research and financing. Uptake of the report has been substantial with thousands of webpage views and downloads. Many of the results have been used in remarks and speeches by senior figures including Qu Dongyu, Director-General of FAO and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of WHO (recorded here with more than 15,000 views).


I-CAN plans to renew this analysis in 2025, providing an update on progress made in the last two years and continuing to advance I-CAN's goals to advocate for greater integration between climate and nutrition action. We are seeking an intern to support this analysis and overall preparation of the report in August and September 2025 prior to its launch at COP30 in November.
