The Hunger Emergency

How global hunger is shaped by complex forces - and why we must act now

As traditional donor support shrinks, vulnerable populations face heightened risks of hunger and malnutrition, especially in conflict-affected and climate-vulnerable regions. What are the escalating challenges of ensuring global food security in the wake of significant international aid cuts? What adaptive strategies exist? What policy responses are necessary to safeguard food systems? And how can we protect the world’s most at-risk communities?
