This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1)and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). It shows that hunger at the global level remained relatively stable between 2021 and 2022, but is still far above pre-COVID-19-pandemic levels and is also rising in many places where people are still struggling to recover income losses in the wake of the pandemic or have been affected by increasing prices of food, agricultural inputs and energy, conflicts and/or extreme climate events. The report also provides updated estimates on the billions of people who are unable to access nutritious, safe and sufficient food all year round. Overall, the report shows that we are far off track to meet all nutrition targets. While progress on important indicators of child nutrition is revealed, rising overweight among children under five years of age in many countries portends growing burdens of non-communicable diseases
