UNIDO’s Post

Boosting resilience to climate change in the agricultural production, processing, distribution, and trade logistics sectors is absolutely key and should be seen as a cross-cutting action area.

🌟 As we strive to build a better world, we must not overlook the urgent issue of hunger. Getting to zero hunger by 2030 was once considered an achievable target, but things are now off track. With millions still facing food insecurity worldwide, achieving SDG 2 of Zero Hunger remains a critical priority. Behind these statistics lie real human stories of struggle and resilience. Hunger does not only refer to empty stomachs. It goes beyond that as it represents missed opportunities, compromised health, and shattered dreams. It affects children unable to concentrate in school, parents unable to provide for their families, and communities trapped in cycles of poverty. 🤝 Food aid is not the only way to address the hunger crisis, because we need sustainable solutions that tackle root causes like poverty, inequality, and climate change. Such solutions call for collaboration between governments, NGOs, businesses, and individuals to ensure equitable access to nutritious food for all. 💡 As we work towards a world where no one goes to bed hungry, let's remember that hunger is a major humanitarian issue and it is also a moral imperative. Let's amplify our efforts, raise awareness, and advocate for policies that prioritize food security and nutrition for every person, everywhere. Together, we can turn the vision of Zero Hunger into a reality. #ZeroHunger #SDG2 #EndHunger #foodsecurity 🌍🍴

Conflict, combined with the effect of climate change and other complex humanitarian issues threatens more and more food security among vulnerable groups. Sustainable Agricultural solutions need to be developed.

Today is World Hunger Day. In 2023, almost 282 million people around the world experienced high levels of acute food insecurity requiring urgent food and livelihood assistance. The number of people on the brink of famine rose to over 700,000 in 2023 - almost double the number of 2022. Despite many global challenges, we live in a world of plenty. Yet since the onset of the pandemic, this global food crisis has continued to deteriorate. At Self Help Africa, we’re working every day to be part of the solution. Over a period of 12 months, we: - Supported over 375,000 households to access sufficient food. - Worked with more than 475,000 farming families in climate-smart agriculture methods, to grow more food within a challenging climate. - Worked with local partners to help families experiencing hunger - including emergency supplies and vouchers, and access to drought-tolerant seed and other resources. Plus much more. There’s a lot more still to be done. Funding is key here, with financing not keeping pace with the need. It is projected that more than 600 million people in the world will be facing hunger by 2030. The Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger is becoming ever more challenging. But together, let’s continue to push for progress and leave no one behind.

Eradicating Hunger Must Be a Priority in 2025 It is unacceptable that in 2025, millions of people still lack access to three meals a day. Hunger should no longer claim the lives of #children, #mothers, and vulnerable populations. Food must be prioritized at all costs no one should go to bed hungry. Global leaders and organizations must come together to discuss and implement lasting strategies to end hunger worldwide. “If the world could unite to defeat #COVID19, why can’t we unite to defeat hunger?” The time to act is now. Let’s ensure a future where everyone has access to the food they need to thrive. #EndHunger #FoodSecurity #GlobalAction

The Alarming Rise of Hunger: A Call for Responsible Leadership According to the UNICEF 2024 Global Report on Food Crises, nearly 282 million people in 59 countries and territories experienced high levels of acute hunger in 2023, marking an increase of 24 million from the previous year. This alarming statistic is not just a number; it reflects the real and devastating impact on millions of lives worldwide. This increase in hunger is a stark reminder of the failure of our global leadership to address one of the most basic human needs—access to food. Despite the numerous pledges, summits, and policy frameworks, hunger continues to grow, pushing millions of people, especially children, into life-threatening conditions. This is not just a crisis of food; it is a crisis of governance, accountability, and humanity. The rising hunger levels should be a wake-up call for our leaders. It is shameful that in an age of technological advancement and abundant resources, we still struggle to feed the most vulnerable among us. This situation requires immediate and responsible action, not just empty promises or superficial efforts. The rising hunger levels are a failure of our leadership, but they also present an opportunity for change. It is time to move beyond pretentious attitudes and take real, responsible actions. Hunger should not be an issue in our modern world, and it is up to our leaders to make the right choices to ensure a future where every person has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. The time to act is now. #geenshafiq #greenmabugo #greenrajita #farming #environment #sustainability #sustainablefood

🌍 Empty Plates: A Symbol of Urgent Action Needed to End Global Hunger 🍽️ Empty plates spotlight the unacceptable levels of hunger in the world today. They symbolize the harsh reality faced by 733 million people who go hungry every day. It’s outrageous and unacceptable that global hunger is on the rise in 2024—especially when there are proven solutions that can make a difference. We need coordinated global action by governments to solve this crisis. In July, Brazil’s government, under its G20 presidency, announced a Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty—a significant step in the right direction. Now, we're urging all governments to join this alliance and push forward a global plan to end hunger, with the necessary funding to make it happen. ⏳ Without urgent action, 582 million people are projected to be chronically undernourished by 2030, with more than half of them in Africa. Too many children are already affected:  - 148.1 million children under five are stunted.  - 45 million children suffer from wasting, the most life-threatening form of malnutrition. Today, nearly a third of the global population—2.33 billion people—lack access to sufficient, affordable, and nutritious food. Join us in raising awareness and taking action to combat this crisis. #HungryForAction #EmptyPlates #EndHunger #GlobalAlliance https://lnkd.in/dRNSigC3

FAO Urges All Its Members And Partners to Join The Global Alliance Against Hunger And Poverty. At the recent G20 Summit in Brazil, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu delivered a compelling speech, underscoring the crucial role of collective action and evidence-based policy in the fight against hunger and poverty. His message was clear: achieving zero hunger is within our reach, but it requires a concerted global effort. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is steadfast in its commitment to this cause, offering technical assistance to countries striving to eliminate hunger and poverty. By harnessing its vast knowledge in food security and rural development, FAO is poised to make a significant impact. A cornerstone of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty is its comprehensive policy basket, which includes successful strategies ranging from cash transfers and job guarantees to inclusive finance and support for smallholder farmers. This array of policies exemplifies the power of informed, coordinated action to drive measurable progress.

Every July, some 5,500 members in 17 countries across the Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI) Federation participate in a Day of Action. 🌎 This year, the action theme is poverty. Heeding the call, SI Chaguanas members have sprung into action, organising safe and nutritious food necessities for 6 families from the Lendore Village and Jerningham Junction areas. 🍎🍐 The global issue of hunger and food insecurity has increased since 2015, thus the United Nation's 2nd Sustainable Development Goal is Zero Hunger, which aims to create a world free of hunger by 2030. Together, we can build a better future for everyone. 🥗 #sigbidayofaction #zerohunger #Soroptimist #soroptimistgbi #soroptimistinternational #soroptimistchaguanas #Soroptimists
