The 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro marks a historic moment as leaders from around the world come together to launch the first-ever Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty. This groundbreaking initiative is a significant step towards achieving the United Nations' ambitious goal of eliminating extreme hunger by 2030.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva introduced the alliance during the Ministerial Meeting of the G20 Task Force in July 2024, setting the stage for its official launch at the summit. President Lula emphasized that eradicating hunger and poverty is one of the three central tasks of Brazil's G20 presidency, highlighting the country's commitment to fostering global cooperation.
The establishment of this alliance underscores the collective determination of G20 nations to address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today. By pooling resources, expertise, and innovative solutions, the Global Alliance aims to create sustainable pathways out of poverty and ensure food security for all.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, initiatives like the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty are crucial for building resilient communities and promoting equitable growth across nations. The G20's proactive approach serves as a beacon of hope for millions striving for a better future.
