Global Efforts to Reduce Hunger Linked to Resolving Global Climate, Health Challenges
Updated: Jul 19, 2020
The 2020 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World Report (SOFI) concludes that we are not on track to reach SDG 2 (zero hunger) by 2030. This assessment was delivered on the margins of the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), during a special event organized by the authors.
The 14 July virtual event launched the 2020 SOFI report, with the theme, ‘Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets.’ A slate of distinguished speakers agreed that the data in the report does not show the progress they hoped for, and that the COVID-19 pandemic is causing serious setbacks in the fight against the hunger pandemic.
