Description

A year on from the inaugural Rome Nutrition Week, this year's event will take place from 26-30 May, under the overarching theme of "Coherent Policy and Action for Better Nutrition".

Following closely on from the Nutrition for Growth Summit and the World Health Assembly, looking ahead to the UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake,  COP30 and other relevant moments, and in the context of the recent extension of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and global nutrition targets, Rome Nutrition Week 2025 will provide a platform for collaborative events, convening and conversation, with the aim of putting nutrition at the heart of everything we do. 

Rome Nutrition Week 2025 will be a timely opportunity for in-depth conversations, including on working better together, finding efficiencies and adopting more coherent policy approaches. It is ever more critical that we come together to strengthen cooperation and build on comparative advantages.
