No, the world will not end hunger by 2030 for the following reasons:
In 2023, between 713 and 757 million people faced hunger, which is one in 11 people in the world. This is similar to the number of people who were undernourished in 2015, the year the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were created
- The pandemic, conflict, climate change, and deepening inequalities have all contributed to the increase in hunger and food insecurity. The number of people facing chronic hunger has barely changed
The number of people suffering chronic hunger has barely changed over the past year.
However, there are efforts to address hunger, including:
The United Nations World Food Programme: Provides cash-based assistance to help people buy food. The program also works to build resilience, adapt to climate change, and promote good nutrition.
Political and diplomatic solutions: These are needed to strengthen peacebuilding efforts and ensure safe access to food.
Community-centered approaches: These can help promote nutrition, gender equality, and social protection.
One of the most ambitious of the Sustainable Development Goals is to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030. However, with less than a decade to go, the 2022 Global Hunger Index notes that - without a major shift - The world as a whole, including 46 countries in particular won't even reach the low level of hunger by 2030.
