Una coalición de acción para lograr el hambre cero
La coalición tiene como objetivo lograr acabar con el hambre, de una manera sostenible y nutritiva. Al hacer esto, generará beneficios colaterales: cumplir con los objetivos de emisiones climáticas de París y duplicar los ingresos de 545 millones de productores de alimentos.
The coalition will be a tone-setter for the Summit in a number of ways. It reflects priorities emerging from the Food Systems Summit Member State dialogues such as supporting smallholder agriculture and finding resilient ways to emerge from crisis. Second, it reflects a growing political will to address hunger, recent the G20 Matera statement being a prime example. Third, the coalition will be systemic, linking investments from farm to fork. Fourth, the coalition will be multistakeholder, aligning governments, agencies, civil society and businesses with the 10 high-impact CERES2030 investment areas. Last, it will address hunger wherever it is found in all countries of the world, with a strong focus on where it represents the largest burden.
Evidencia basada en la ciencia para priorizar esta coalición
Driven by climate, fragility, conflict and now COVID-19, hunger is increasingly sharply. 650 million people were hungry in 2019, and the 2021 SOFI report has very recently announced that an additional 118 billion people have been added to this in 2020 alone. Conflict, climate and underinvestment in agriculture and value chains were driving hunger numbers up before 2020. Covid-19 has added another malevolent driver. Women and children are disproportionally affected, as they often eat least and last.
In 2020, a first ever road map to align actions to end hunger was published: the joint Ceres2030/ZEF/FAO Report. The report, delivered by 25 research organisations from as many countries, lays out an evidence-based pathway of 10 high impact investments on and off the farm that will reduce hunger from 650m to 200m by 2030 at a cost of an additional $33bn-$40bn a year until 2030, a doubling of current levels of expenditure.
The Ceres2030 and ZEF reports provide a rigorous, practical, and costed road map towards a world where hunger affects less than 2% of world’s population in 2030, making a powerful case for the value add of science, innovation and research.
Mecanismos de implementación
La coalición hará tres cosas:
- Abogar por la reducción del hambre, haciendo un caso más sólido y personalizado para un mayor enfoque en acabar con el hambre que utiliza un enfoque de sistemas.
- Alinear mejor los recursos existentes del sector público y privado para la reducción del hambre en torno a las 10 áreas de alto impacto definidas en el informe CERES2030 y en los países de alta carga.
- Add resource commitments towards the annual $33-40 billion target as outlined in CERES 2030. Achieved by: (a) working with stakeholders throughout the food, health, environment, and humanitarian systems to identify opportunities for climate, covid and conflict prevention/management and other resources at the national, regional and global levels toserve “double duty” by also ending hunger and (b) converting those opportunities to win-win commitments at upcoming Summits and other pledging opportunities.
El hambre es evidente en todos los países, pero la coalición se centrará en los países donde la carga es mayor. Las acciones del sector privado, los donantes y otros se alinearán con las prioridades nacionales que surjan de los diálogos de los estados miembros. Los países trabajarán en conjunto con otros para implementar acciones que tengan la mayor prioridad para ellos y estén alineadas con la ciencia en términos de lo que genera mayor impacto.

Monitoreo y evaluación
Private Sector Pledge: regional institutions (Grow Asia, Grow Africa) as well as several global institutions will convert pledges to SMART commitments which will be tracked by the World Benchmarking Alliance. Discussions are ongoing.
Public Sector: UN agencies could use similar mechanisms for tracking country, donor and other commitments on aligning and adding resources in the 10 high impact areas, subject to country priorities.
