Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can play an important role in addressing the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change.
Note: For the 2017 GHI, data on the proportion of undernourished are for 2014–2016; data on child stunting and wasting are for the latest year in the period 2012–2016 for which data are available; and data on child mortality are for 2015.
