Statement: The Brazilian G20 Presidency

Poverty and hunger as a priority

Hunger, poverty, and inequality are top priorities for Brazil's G20 agenda this year. The Brazilian presidency has announced the establishment of a Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, set to launch at the G20 summit on November 18th and 19th. President Lula aims to build on the successes of his first term, during which his social policies removed Brazil from the FAO's official hunger map. Despite some progress, global efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty remain insufficient, highlighting the urgent need for accelerated action. Can Brazil's commitment inspire other G20 members to intensify their efforts towards a world without hunger?
