Hunger Pains: The growing global food crisis

Upcoming GZERO Media livestream | Monday, June 11 at 2 pm ET | gzeromedia.com/events

The world is on the brink of a crisis that could push more than a billion people towards starvation. Food supply chains, already disrupted by the COVID pandemic, are now further roiled by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Droughts and floods tied to climate change are impacting harvests globally and prices continue to rise, driving those most in need further into poverty.

In partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GZERO presents “Hunger Pains,” a livestream event focused on this growing problem and practical solutions that are urgently needed.

The hour-long event will feature expert voices including Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman, David Laborde of the International Food Policy Research Institute, Thomas Njeru, Co-founder and CEO, Pula Advisors, and GZERO Media’s president and founder of Eurasia Group Ian Bremmer in conversation with moderator Diana Fox Carney, a Eurasia Group senior advisor on climate and sustainability. Please register to attend.
