The international community has set itself 17 ambitious global Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. The "Global Goals for Berlin" association, of which Urania is a member, aims to implement these goals in Berlin by 2035. Global Goal 02: End hunger. Can this be achieved? For the first time in 20 years, the number of hungry people worldwide is rising again, caused by armed conflicts, trade restrictions and disrupted supply chains as a result of the pandemic. And the situation threatens to worsen dramatically.

Martin Frick, Director of the UN World Food Program for Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein, warns that the climate crisis is accelerating hunger with catastrophic global consequences for food security. How can the food supply be made crisis-proof and what role can Germany, as the second largest donor to the World Food Program, play in this? A conversation with Nikolaus Röttger about life-saving aid and sustainable solutions for combating hunger.
