UN Reports Stalled Progress in Global Hunger Eradication Efforts

Climate change, conflict, and economic crises hinder the goal to eliminate hunger by 2030, with Africa facing the most severe challenges.

  • 733 million people globally faced hunger in 2023, with Africa having the highest proportion of undernourished individuals.
  • The number of people experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity has remained unchanged for three years, affecting 29% of the global population.
  • Regional disparities show some progress in Latin America, but worsening conditions in Africa and parts of Asia.
  • Experts call for increased international cooperation, targeted investments, and policy changes to address food insecurity.
  • Despite some improvements in child nutrition, global malnutrition and obesity rates are rising, complicating efforts to achieve 'Zero Hunger.'
