“I therefore take this opportunity to reiterate the repeated call of the General Assembly to ensure safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid, especially in Gaza. And for everyone elsewhere, we have conflict ruins, we must achieve at all costs our goal to end by 2030. We must treat the food crisis as a development crisis. One that requires an all hands-on deck approach to forge the comprehensive policies and coordinated responses to attenuate the suffering, manage the risks, and critically, to build resilience against future shocks.”

“This means ensuring more technical and financial support for countries in special situations. The LDCs SIDs, on the LLDCs to safeguard their ability to root out food crisis at the source. It means adopting policies at national, regional and international levels, to ensure that agri-food systems are resilient to the pressures from population growth and urbanization, to the fierce ripple effects of increasing global wealth that are rapidly transforming normal consumption and production patterns, and it means choosing sustainability in all activities across the global economy.”

“Our collective support aims to help countries in their efforts to integrate national policies for sustainable development, access international and concessional finance, and mobilize budget support and debt restructuring, as well as climate financing to fragile contexts that leave no one behind.

“The SDG stimulus can help unlock immediate relief and accelerate national development transformation pathways. This means carrying forward reforms of the international financial architecture and encouraging international financial institutions to take on risks and these conflict related situations, creating the fiscal space and securing large scale investments in the food value chains for local food producers.”

“At the core of our approach lies the acknowledgment that food security is not just a consequence of food scarcity, but also of an equal access, distribution and utilization. Our efforts must encompass increasing food production but also improving food systems, enhance the sustainability localization resilience in addressing root causes of hunger and malnutrition.”

Storyline

Dennis Francis, President of the General Assembly, said, “To break the vicious cycle of food insecurity, we must place highest priority on promoting peace, enhancing economic stability, and building climate resilience.”

The President of the General Assembly spoke at a meeting today (29 Apr) on addressing global food insecurity and famine risk: reinforcing collective impact.

Francis took the opportunity to reiterate the repeated call of the General Assembly to “ensure safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid, especially in Gaza. And for everyone elsewhere, we have conflict ruins, we must achieve at all costs our goal to end by 2030.”

The President of the General Assembly added, “We must treat the food crisis as a development crisis. One that requires an all hands-on deck approach to forge the comprehensive policies and coordinated responses to attenuate the suffering, manage the risks, and critically, to build resilience against future shocks.”

He further explained, “This means ensuring more technical and financial support for countries in special situations. The LDCs, SIDs, on the LLDCs to safeguard their ability to root out food crisis at the source.”

“It means adopting policies at national, regional and international levels, to ensure that agri-food systems are resilient to the pressures from population growth and urbanization, to the fierce ripple effects of increasing global wealth that are rapidly transforming normal consumption and production patterns, and it means choosing sustainability in all activities across the global economy,” Francis added.

The President of the General Assembly concluded, “Food is without a doubt a fundamental human right, as it is deliberately identified as part of the standard of living in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Thus, a necessity for delivering on the declarations highest calling of a world free from fear and want.”

Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, also spoke at the meeting.

She said, “Our collective support aims to help countries in their efforts to integrate national policies for sustainable development, access international and concessional finance, and mobilize budget support and debt restructuring, as well as climate financing to fragile contexts that leave no one behind.”

The deputy UN chief continued, “Innovating financial solutions, which will unlock private investments and leverage domestic resources are among the priorities of the system to maximize the UN's delivery and impact for Global Food Systems Transformation.”
“The SDG stimulus can help unlock immediate relief and accelerate national development transformation pathways,” she added, “This means carrying forward reforms of the international financial architecture and encouraging international financial institutions to take on risks and these conflict related situations, creating the fiscal space and securing large scale investments in the food value chains for local food producers.”

Italian Ambassador Maurizio Massari said, “At the core of our approach lies the acknowledgment that food security is not just a consequence of food scarcity, but also of an equal access, distribution and utilization. Our efforts must encompass increasing food production but also improving food systems, enhance the sustainability localization resilience in addressing root causes of hunger and malnutrition.”

The meeting was co-organized by the Permanent Missions to the UN of Italy, Brazil, and Uganda, the Delegation of the European Union to the UN and the Global Network Against Food Crises.
