As you know, we need urgent change to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. It is impossible to meet the 1.5 degrees goal without widespread dietary shift. It is vital that commitments are made to transition our planet to healthy and sustainable diets.

Following the UN Food Systems Summit, youth from 5 continents started this open letter to call for sustainable and healthy diets to be given space and acted upon at COP26, biodiversity COP and other global fora. This open letter builds upon a publication by youth in Nature Food.

Global youth are engaged and committed to improve the health of people and planet through healthy and sustainable diets. Join us by adding your voice, or the support of your organisation, to this open letter.

Together we can put pressure on world leaders and businesses to create meaningful change in our food systems.
