Valparaíso, Chile, 15 and 16 June 2023
2024The Second Global Parliamentary Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition (GPSHM II) took place in Valparaíso, Chile, on 15–16 June 2023. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) organized this meeting in collaboration with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), the National Congress of Chile, and the Government of Chile, with support from the European Commission, the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID), and the Parliamentary Front Against Hunger of Latin America and the Caribbean. The summit included around 200 parliamentarians from all over the world who participated in person and virtually, representing over 64 countries, 15 presidents and vice-presidents of regional, subregional, and national parliaments, and representatives of parliamentary bodies and networks. The summit concluded with a unanimous agreement that led to the Global Parliamentary Pact against Hunger and Malnutrition. The pact is a non-binding political declaration encouraging collaboration, awareness-raising, and parliamentary action to ensure access to adequate food for all by fostering international cooperation and implementing evidence-based strategies to combat hunger and malnutrition worldwide. -
BookletParliamentary alliances against hunger and malnutrition
First Global Parliamentary Summit. Madrid, October 2018
2018For the third year in a row, hunger is on the rise again and affects 821 million people in the world. In addition, one third of the global population suffers from malnutrition. Eradicating hunger and malnutrition by 2030 requires strategies, public policies, national laws and programs that guarantee the right to adequate food for everyone, contribute to reducing poverty and improve people’s diets according to each country’s specific context. This publication presents the structural causes of hunger and malnutrition and introduces FAO’s framework of action to achieve a solid political commitment and design long-term legal strategies to achieve Zero Hunger. With successful legislative examples, including constitutional amendments, school feeding laws and family agriculture programmes, the publication shows how parliamentary alliances play a key role in consolidating food and nutritional security. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPreparatory events towards the Second Global Parliamentary Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition 2022Given that parliamentary action to tackle hunger and malnutrition is more necessary than ever, AECID and FAO plan to bring parliamentarians together for the Second Global Parliamentary Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition, to be held in 2023. The forthcoming Summit aims to take stock of the issues, ideas and actions discussed during the virtual parliamentary dialogues and UNFSS and to stimulate further parliamentary action to build on progress made since the 2018 Summit. In so doing, it seeks to contribute towards a redoubling of efforts to end hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. FAO and IISD have organized a series of events to support the preparation of the forthcoming Summit and thereby ensure that it is able to facilitate useful exchanges of experiences between parliamentarians and stimulate renewed parliamentary action to tackle hunger and malnutrition. These events aim to raise parliamentarians’ awareness about important issues relevant to efforts to tackle hunger and malnutrition, to stimulate discussion, debate and knowledge exchange among parliamentarians, to share FAO tools, to capture and document relevant insights and experiences and to inform the agenda for the forthcoming Summit.
