Doha, Qatar CNN —Nine years ago, the UN established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which included ending poverty and hunger. The G20 Leaders’ Summit in November marked the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative aiming to eradicate hunger and poverty by 2030, aligning with the SDGs. CNN: Why was there a need to launch the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty? We need more open debate and experience-sharing among countries like Colombia, Brazil, and Mali, alongside UN organizations like the World Food Programme. This means that countries joining together, by fighting food waste and engaging with the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, I think we can create a better world by 2030.
