G20: Brazil and India lead Global South in tackling hunger, poverty and nutrition crisis

At this year’s G20 summit on “building a just world and a sustainable planet,” Brazil and India amplified the voice of the Global South, which includes regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Nutrition took center stage, with leaders spotlighting programs to combat hunger, enhance food security and ensure equitable support for vulnerable groups. 

Brazil hosted the intergovernmental forum, and its president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said: “The ultimate symbol of our collective tragedy is hunger and poverty… Those who have always been invisible will be at the center of the international agenda.”
