Extreme weather and undernutrition: A critical but constructive review of the literature by Headey, Derek D., Venkat, Aishwarya

“…Climate change is resulting in increased frequency of extreme weather events, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) already characterized by highly vulnerable malnourished populations. Unsurprisingly, there are many empirical studies of the linkages between extreme weather events and undernutrition, especially stunting and wasting in early childhood, and several existing reviews of this literature. …”
