Extreme weather events and armed conflict are among the main drivers of food insecurity. Already before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the need for food assistance in the world was at its highest since after the Second World War, and the situation has since worsened.
In this breakfast seminar, we take stock of the global food insecurity situation and discuss how it relates to climate change and armed conflict, also in light of the war in Ukraine.
