Launch of the 2024 Global Hunger Index
On October 10, 2024, 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.
As the world commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 20th anniversary of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Right to Food, international law and the universal right to adequate food are blatantly disregarded in many parts of the world. Conflict, climate change and economic crises converge to exacerbate structural inequalities and fuel the hunger crisis. Widespread gender inequality increases vulnerability to food and nutrition insecurity, and to the impacts of climate change.
How Gender Justice can Advance Climate Resilience and Zero Hunger
Welthungerhilfe (WHH), Concern Worldwide and the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (IFHV) invite you to discuss this and more with experts from politics, academia and civil society. Join us as we discuss the findings of the 2024 Global Hunger Index and explore how advancing gender justice can create a climate-resilient world where all people are guaranteed the right to adequate food to lead healthy, productive lives.

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.
