It will also reduce the quality, quantity and affordability of nutritious diets.</p><p>Countries that do not plan effectively for climate adaption are likely to see a reversal of previous improvements in nutrition and food security. Climate modelling has estimated that 2°C warming will result in there being an additional 540 to 590 million undernourished people by 2050. By 2050 there will also be an estimated 10 million more children who will be undernourished as a result of climate change.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 27/01/2020 14:45:18 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>DFID supports implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes in the countries where we work. Evidence shows that inappropriate marketing of breast milk substitutes undermines breastfeeding and that infants in developing countries who are not breastfed are more likely to get sick and to die.</p><p>We are concerned that manufacturers of breast milk substitutes continue to contravene the Code. Our position is not to partner with those companies that are uncompliant with the Code.</p><p>We provide technical assistance to partner governments to develop and strengthen their own national nutrition policies. Breastfeeding support and promotion are also components of our health and nutrition programmes in countries such as Bangladesh and Nigeria.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 27/01/2020 15:05:21 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
