Launch of the 2022 Global Hunger Index
On October 13, 2022, Welthungerhilfe will present the latest Global Hunger Index (GHI), published annually in partnership with Concern Worldwide. Find out where to watch the official press conference and join the panel discussion in a webinar afterwards.
What is the Global Hunger Index?
The Global Hunger Index examines how the global hunger situation is developing. It is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger and undernutrition at global, regional, and national levels. It is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the fight against hunger, and call attention to those areas of the world where hunger levels are highest and where the need for additional efforts to eliminate hunger is greatest.

The 17th and latest edition of the Global Hunger Index will be published on October 13, 2022 in a live presentation from 10 to 11 a.m. CEST. It focuses on a key approach to transforming food systems: Local communities working for better governance and stronger accountability.
