Launch of Global Hunger Index 2023
The virtual 2023 Global Hunger Index (GHI) Launch was held on Thursday, 12 October 2023, which aimed to shed light on the critical role of youth in shaping food systems and addressing the challenges posed by the polycrisis affecting our world.
As the year 2030 looms, the world is confronting a “polycrisis” that is exacerbating social, economic, and generational inequalities.
The 2023 Global Hunger Index (GHI) explores the critical role of youth in shaping food systems that fulfill the right to adequate food for current and future generations. Youth have been disproportionately affected by the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the escalating climate crisis and they are in line to inherit dysfunctional food systems.
Welthungerhilfe (WHH) and Concern Worldwide invite you to a conversation that spotlights diverse experiences of youth from around the world. Join young activists, researchers, and policymakers in a discussion on the importance of youth in policy making and how to harness the power of young people to achieve a just, sustainable, and food- and nutrition-secure future.
