Key Findings on Global Hunger (2025 Reports):
Scale: -
Over 295 million people are facing high levels of acute food insecurity.
Drivers: -
The "lethal Cs" — conflict, climate extremes, and economic shocks/cuts — are primary drivers of this crisis.
Conflict-Driven Hunger: -
In places like Gaza, hunger is increasingly used as a weapon of war.
2025 Outlook: -
The situation is expected to remain "bleak," with potential decreases in humanitarian funding, threatening to worsen malnutrition for millions.
Future Projections: -
Climate change is expected to continue exacerbating these conditions, with studies suggesting that by 2100, over a billion people could be exposed to hunger.
