Within the G20, Ireland can advocate for smarter investment in child nutrition, promote innovative financing for food systems transformation, and elevate the urgency of action in the face of escalating hunger crises. It can also strengthen the G20’s Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, launched under Brazil’s presidency, as a mechanism for coordinated and sustained progress. These are not ceremonial opportunities. They demand courage not caution. The real question is not whether we can end hunger, but whether we will act with the urgency this crisis demands.
Transformation does not happen in isolation. When governments, civil society, international organisations, and the private sector align priorities, pool expertise, and amplify resolve, progress accelerates.
The Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty is one example, proving shared purpose can dismantle entrenched barriers and spark systemic change.
