At the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda progress on most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world is off track. Despite substantial progress before 2019, the SDGs related to poverty, inequality and hunger faced a big setback during the COVID-19 pandemic. Global post-pandemic estimates suggest limited and uneven progress. Various intertwined crises are hindering progress. Policymakers must intensify efforts to grow their economies in a sustainable way, while protecting the most vulnerable and increasing resilience to shocks. Against this backdrop, the Brazilian G20 Presidency proposed the establishment of a Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty and has established a specific G20 Task Force to discuss the task, linking both the Sherpa and Finance tracks of the G20. This note intends to inform the Task Force deliberations, and its efforts towards creating an integrated approach, understanding, and addressing the interlocking causes of hunger and poverty, and bridging the domains of food security, nutrition, social protection, and climate change adaptation. In line with the Issues Note by the Taskforce for the Establishment of a Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, the note intends to inform the Global Alliance.
