UN Report Warns of Hunger and Poverty Crisis: Global Effort Needed to Meet SDGs The United Nations has released a stark report revealing that the world is falling behind on its goals to end hunger and poverty by two thousand thirty. The report highlights a significant increase in hunger, with nearly seven hundred thirty-five million people facing hunger in two thousand twenty-two, a rise of one hundred twenty-two million since two thousand nineteen. This setback makes achieving the goal of zero hunger by two thousand thirty seem unlikely. The rise in hunger and poverty is attributed to various factors, including the COVID-nineteen pandemic, the war in Ukraine, climate change, and extreme weather events. The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has called for a global rescue plan, emphasizing the urgent need for action. The report urges international cooperation and a renewed commitment from all nations to invest more in sustainable development, particularly in areas like agriculture, social protection, and climate adaptation. Without significant funding and political will, millions more could fall into extreme poverty and hunger. The path forward requires a unified effort to address these complex issues and protect the most vulnerable populations.
