A reaction by the Generation Nutrition coalition to the EU’s pledges at N4G 2025: analysis, reaction and recommendations
On March 27-28, 2025, France hosted the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit, a global event dedicated to mobilizing bold political and financial commitments to combat malnutrition in all its forms. The summit brought together a diverse range of stakeholders, including governments, international organizations, philanthropies, civil society, academia, and the private sector.
Generation Nutrition commends the European Union’s strong engagement in the Summit, including the high-level participation of Commissioner Lahbib, the European Commission’s investment in co-organizing the Village of Solutions, and the European Parliament’s DEVE committee for its active involvement in the summit and co-organization of a side event on sustaining action in nutrition crises.
The EU’s pledge at N4G marks a significant step forward, and its full impact will depend on how these commitments are translated into action. Clear timelines, transparent funding mechanisms, and a strengthened governance framework will be key to ensuring that nutrition remains a top priority in EU development.
