Launch of the 2025 Global Hunger Index: Panel Discussion
On October 9, 2025, Welthungerhilfe will present the latest Global Hunger Index (GHI), published annually in partnership with Concern Worldwide and the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV). Find out where to watch the official press conference and join the panel discussion in a webinar afterwards.
This year marks the 20th edition of the Global Hunger Index—a milestone reached at a time of rising alarm about global food security.
Conflicts, climate shocks, economic pressures, and growing inequalities continue to drive hunger, while global engagement and resources are falling short. Yet hunger is not inevitable. Where sound policies, effective governance, and strong commitment align, progress is possible.
The urgency to achieve SDG 2: Zero Hunger has never been greater—with just five years remaining to meet this goal. At this moment of profound crisis, one simple truth remains: no one should ever go hungry. We must recommit to this goal with renewed determination.
20 Years of Tracking Progress: Time to Recommit to Zero Hunger

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.
