Summary:
The U.N. has reported a third consecutive annual drop in global hunger to 8.2% of the population, down from 8.5% in 2023. Despite progress, the report highlighted that conflict and climate shocks—especially in Africa and Western Asia—continue to undermine food access.
Why It Matters:
This progress shows that resilience and aid efforts are working—but fragility remains high. Continued instability and weather crises could reverse gains, making coordinated policy and local adaptation essential.
