2024 Global Hunger Index

The GHI series of reports tracks the state of hunger – worldwide and country by country – and spotlights those regions and countries where action to address hunger is most urgently needed. The 2024 report shows that little progress has been made on reducing hunger since 2016, and the prospects for achieving Zero Hunger by the target date of 2030 are grim. 42 countries are still experiencing alarming or serious hunger.

This year's report also shines a light on the links between gender inequality, climate change and hunger. Discriminatory norms and gender-based violence often place women and sexual and gender minorities at heightened risk of food and nutrition insecurity and climate change impacts while hampering their ability to cope with these challenges.

A country’s food sector vulnerability and readiness to respond to climate change is correlated with hunger and gender inequality.
