Global Hunger Index 2024

With the 2030 target for achieving Zero Hunger fast approaching, the 2024 Global Hunger Index (GHI) makes it starkly clear that the world is far from meeting this critical goal. The realization of the right to adequate food remains out of reach for billions of people. Progress in reducing all four GHI indicators—undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting, and child mortality—is falling short of internationally agreed targets. Many countries and territories are experiencing unprecedented levels of acute food insecurity, with potentially dire implications for their long-term development.
