In a day at #UNGA, you meet more people than in a year of visiting capitals. More important than the speeches is how we reconcile disagreements. Shared goal of no hunger is clear. Beyond the talks, now we need to tap into opportunities for food security and bring them to scale.

Important conversation with @BeckyCNN on rising global hunger and the collective action we need after #UNGA
"Hunger also fuels instability. Hunger fuels conflict," @WFPChief explains why tackling global food insecurity is in the interest of every country he talked to on the sidelines of this week’s UNGA(1/2):

There is much that the world does not agree on, but everyone agrees on this: no child should go to bed hungry. Hunger and child malnutrition are preventable. With @UNICEF and partners, we have the means to stop it. Now we need the world to turn commitment into action.
More than 9M children around the world are at the highest risk of death from malnutrition-3M of them urgently need life-saving treatment. The message from leaders today at UNICEF was clear. These devastating numbers should compel every one of us to act. #UNGA

Our partnership with the Netherlands is built on shared principled trust and action. That kind of flexible support helps us save lives today and build stronger food systems for tomorrow. Thank you for your commitment to @WFP and to ending hunger.
It's harder than ever to be a humanitarian. While humanitarian needs and attacks on aid workers increase, funding is decreasing. The Netherlands takes responsibility by increasing this year's humanitarian budget by 28% and renewing our commitment to UN partners through 2029. 1/2

At the @wef Stewardship Board today. Around the table: governments, private sector, civil society. Clear vision for the future, now needs action. Against surging needs and fewer resources, @WFP is ready to step-up. Now we need bolder investments to accelerate effective solutions.

At today's #UNGA Call to Action for Palestinian Children. Children still aren't feeling the dividends of peace. For thousands, daily life is still displacement, looking over their shoulder, unsure about the next meal. Investing in children is investing in the future of Palestine.

With partners today, renewing the call for a durable solution for the Rohingya. Nearly a decade in, but not forgotten. 1.2 million in Cox's Bazar still depend on aid. @WFP supports with food vouchers for choice & dignity. Int'l community needs to continue adequate funding. #UNGA

Hunger is a challenge to stability. From today's "United Against Hunger" #UNGA event. Great to see powerful voices around the table, coming together to move from responding to crises to preventing them. @BMZ_Bund @fightfoodcrises @IrishMissionUN @FCDOGovUK @g7plus @WFP @FAO

🌍 Food crises are accelerating in frequency, complexity and scale. 🔴 266M people don't know where their next meal will come from, while conflict, disrupted food corridors and economic shocks continue to drive hunger. At a high-level side #UNGA event, Acting @WFPChief @CarlSkau explained why acting early is critical to preventing food crises from becoming catastrophes. #FightFoodCrises @fightfoodcrises

Nothing like the opening of the @UN General Assembly, with all leaders - allies and adversaries - gathered. Magic. SG @antonioguterres leaves us with a strong reminder "The greatest power is the power to build a future that works for everyone." Always a privilege to be here.

At #UNGA this week. World leaders, humanitarians and partners in the same room. My message: we need to step up support and protection for the global fight against hunger. The impact of what happens inside these halls is only measured by the changes that happen outside them.

School meals are one of today's good news story – because they work. They help children learn and strengthen local markets. At today's #UNGA81 @SchoolMeals_ event with @RockefellerFdn & world leaders who take this forward, our task now is reaching the children everywhere.

Humanitarians can save lives, but many of the challenges we face to deliver are political. Today, @eu_echo, Ireland, Brazil and Jordan brought us together on how Member Statses can use humanitarian diplomacy to advance humanitarian action and protect humanitarian space. #UNGA81
