2026 Global Hunger Index: No Security without Food Security
We would like to thank everyone who attended the 2026 Global Hunger Index event. It was a great evening with many thought-provoking discussions and warm encounters.
Watch the replay of the event.
Can there truly be security when people go hungry?
This was the question at the heart of this year’s Global Hunger Index. Food security is fundamental to people’s health, livelihoods and prospects for the future. When conflict, extreme weather or economic shocks disrupt daily life, the ability to access food and earn a living often becomes the most urgent concern.
The report shows that food insecurity is more than a consequence of crisis. It can also deepen existing vulnerabilities, weaken coping capacities and put further pressure on communities and institutions. In fragile contexts, disrupted production, markets, supply chains and access to assistance can make recovery even more difficult.
The event explored how hunger, insecurity and resilience are connected. Drawing on global findings and regional perspectives, the discussion focused on what is needed to strengthen food systems, protect livelihoods and ensure that efforts to reduce hunger also contribute to more stable and peaceful societies.
The event offered an opportunity to:
- Learn more about the findings of the 2026 Global Hunger Index
- Discuss why food and nutrition security must be understood as part of lasting security
- Hear regional and practical perspectives on how conflict, climate stress and economic shocks affect food systems
- Reflect on policies, partnerships and investments that can support long-term food and nutrition security, resilience and peace
The GHI 2026 report and event is financially supported by the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED).
