A preliminary estimate, and a request for better ones.
Summary
I believe the standard literature estimates for the number of DALYs attributable to a case of stunting are too low, largely because they don’t account for the long term effects. This means that childhood nutritional interventions that reduce the prevalence of stunting may be substantially more cost-effective than previously believed.

In general, I find most channels posting 'positive climate news' honestly a bit annoying because they tend to focus on things that really don't matter all that much in the big picture, or present their solution as a silver bullet while in fact there is none. (But maybe I'm a bit too critical here.)
If you're interested, we've compiled a big list of climate-related resources on the Effective Environmentalism website - some of which are quite hopeful! For example, the books Not the End of the World and Regenesis. There are also a bunch of podcasts and videos on climate solutions that have a bit of a "yes we can" vibe.

Outside EA circles, I really love the YouTube channel Just Have a Think for some climate hope. And (not a video, but a static image), the falling costs of solar is one of the most hopeful graphics in the climate cause area!
Thank you this is 100% what I was looking for.
Glad to hear!
