Potatoes are the fourth-largest food crop after rice, wheat, and maize. This brief describes how to make best use of them.

Short summary of the Financing Municipal Energy Efficiency in the CIS Forum.

The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention coverage, food supply, economics, and demography. This tool is particularly useful for nutrition champions at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is based on three equally weighted indicators: > Undernourishment: the proportion of undernourished people as a percentage of the population (reflecting the share of the population with insufficient caloric intake); > Child underweight: the proportion of children younger than age five who are underweight (that is, have low weight for their age, reflecting wasting, stunted growth, or both), which is one indicator of child undernutrition; and > Child mortality: the mortality rate of children younger than age five (partially reflecting the fatal synergy o

This report, 'energy efficiency: lessons learned from success stories' is designed to identify energy efficiency policies that were implemented in countries that successfully decreased their energy intensity. 

The study analyzes the energy efficiency policies in seven successful European Union countries: Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Sweden.

The country case studies indicate that policy implementation evolves, reflecting such issues as institutional capacity and affordability.
