Small-island states face high climate risk and a unique set of challenges. That’s why @WBG_IDA is focused on systemic solutions to protect the most vulnerable people: https://t.co/vBihf1T7UX #IDAworks #COP27 #ClimateActionWBG #SIDS

YES!🙏 "We need a concrete financial target that can deliver on the evolved role—with no trade-offs for the poorest."

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

"Climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemic risks + conflict matter profoundly for #development—which would make it devastating if shareholders miss this chance to transform the @WorldBank by thinking too small."

At #COP27, the global Christian community demands:
- an end to politicizing climate change
- meaningful action to operationalize finance for #LossAndDamage - leaders to act with a gender and accessibility lens
- initiatives to embed locally-led climate adaptation

[Bread for the World @bread4theworld]

#COP27 must enact public policies that yield measurable results and meaningful change for those disproportionately affected by hunger and climate change. Bread and other Christian leaders from Africa, Europe, and the U.S. gathered and listed our demands: https://t.co/vxff3c2Rwo

Bread interim director for policy analysis @jteagueglobal was featured in @CTmagazine about a convocation on climate change and hunger held in Nairobi, Kenya. The convocation was organized by Bread and brought together nearly 70 global faith leaders.

As @USDA’s Stacey Dean rightly notes, #foodinsecurity is, in reality, a downstream issue. Low wages, rising housing costs, etc., limit families’ abilities to feed themselves. @BaylorCoHP

[Jordan Teague Jacobs @jteaguejacobs]

I’m at @BaylorCoHP this week and already inspired by the stories of how so many different people and groups worked together throughout the #pandemic, along with changes in public policy, to stem the rising tide of #hunger in their communities.

[Jordan Teague Jacobs @jteaguejacobs]

I’m excited for todays #WHConfHungerHealth, and hopeful for the transformative actions that could come from it. See this story on @npratc for more!

[Ximena @Ximena_Bustillo]

Groups are beginning to gather tonight ahead of the #WHConfHungerHealth tomorrow. Need a catch up?

Also tune into @MorningEdition/@UpFirst tomorrow for the latest. I’ll also be at the event! Will you? Drop me a line and say hi

"Funding shortfalls and skyrocketing prices mean WFP has been forced to take hard decisions," says WFP's Philippe Kropf (@ein_journi).

Almost 19 million people in Afghanistan – more than half the population – continue to face critical levels of hunger.

🆘Northern Ethiopia
🆘Somalia
🆘Yemen
🆘South Sudan
🆘Afghanistan

These are the places where a perfect storm of climate shocks, conflict, and spiraling costs have already made starvation and death a daily risk for 750,000 people.

“Now more than ever, people living in hunger need effective safety-net programs such as WIC and SNAP to keep working and to work better.”

Bread welcomes the inclusion of $5 billion in the Ukraine aid bill to address the global food and malnutrition crisis. Bread and our partners have been calling on Congress to address this crisis for months. 49 million people teeter on the brink of famine. https://t.co/RVPXTNf3Nv

It's important that MDBs like the @WorldBank step up and support countries facing #hunger crises. Kudos to the Bank for financing projects to meet both immediate food/nutrition needs and investing in #farmers for the next season even now.

[David Malpass @DavidRMalpass]

To help developing countries, the @WorldBank is making up to $30 billion available for implementation to address food insecurity over the next 15 months.

It is critical that countries make clear statements now of future output increases.

The world is on the verge of a catastrophic food crisis. To help, the US should:

1. Increase humanitarian and food security funding
2. Prioritize the use of flexible cash/voucher programs
2. Double investments in Feed the Future countries
3. Invest in conflict prevention
