The SDG2 community faces a decisive moment. Despite decades of progress, the world is not on track to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030. The problem is not a lack of evidence or solutions but a failure to align, finance, coordinate and deliver at scale amid a more complex geopolitical and fiscal landscape.
In a new discussion paper, the SDG2 Advocacy Hub team shares their advice for how the SDG2 Advocacy community can unite to galvanise support for ending hunger and malnutrition.
With conflict, climate shocks, rising costs, shrinking ODA and constrained national budgets, urgent, coordinated and scalable action is essential to keep SDG2 within reach. The paper urges the community to focus on fewer, bigger priorities, making a stronger public and political case for action, and to use existing mechanisms more effectively rather than creating new initiatives. Now is the time to protect hard‑won gains, prevent further backsliding and accelerate integrated investments in resilient food systems, nutrition and rural livelihoods.
