Addressing global food insecurity and famine risk…

The in-person event will feature high-level representatives from FAO, WFP and other members of the Global Network Against Food Crises, who will share reflections and discuss solutions based on the findings of the latest Global Report

Urgent, coherent and effective collaboration is required to effectively address the unacceptable high levels of acute food insecurity and risk of famine and to safeguard the important investments made by the international community into food crisis contexts. Recognizing the opportunity to support coherence and continued collective momentum across food crisis-related initiatives, the G7 Global Alliance on Food Security, the G20 Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty and the Global Network Against Food Crises are bringing together New York-based member state representatives to:

• Promote a common understanding of the severity, drivers and trends relating to the state of global food insecurity, based on the latest evidence and analysis of acute food insecurity and malnutrition.
• Highlight and promote key multilateral policy solutions required to collectively address and prevent food crises and promote opportunities to leverage these as part of a consistent approach that capitalizes on the respective added value of relevant global initiatives.
• Building on existing political commitments to address food crises, promote coherent member state engagement and collective messaging on food crises, as part of New York-based initiatives and processes.
