Hunger and all forms of malnutrition continue to cause widespread suffering throughout the world as a result of climate change. After years of steady progress, recent setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition arising from the combined effects of high food prices and the global economic downturn coupled with the continuing problems of underdevelopment, civil strife, inadequate food supplies, social discrimination and environmental stress, jeopardize the earlier hopes for achieving the poverty, hunger and nutrition-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
