 not on track to meet the sustainable development goal to objective of ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. Between 702 and 828 million people suffer from chronic hunger while around 675 million adults are obese. To end hunger and malnutrition, everyone needs to play a role, including governments, businesses, civil society, academia, farmers and consumers. Parliamentarians have a crucial role to play, using their powers to enact laws, allocate budgets, oversee government action and generate national consensus. Recognizing this, parliamentarians from around the world have been working to put the fight against hunger and malnutrition at the top of political and legislative agendas. In 2018, around 200 parliamentarians gathered in Madrid for the first Global Parliamentary Summit against hunger and malnutrition, where they committed to redoubling their efforts towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. In this regard, FAO has been supporting more than 50 national, sub-regional and regional parliamentary networks, which have inspired the adoption of more than 40 laws promoting food security and nutrition. FAO has also organized virtual parliamentary dialogues and thematic sessions for parliamentarians to share lessons and experiences on how to promote food security and nutrition. The Spanish Agency for International Development Corporation and the FAO are organizing a second Global Parliamentary Summit against hunger and malnutrition in 2023. This forthcoming summit will take stock on progress made and lessons learned since the first summit and will seek to stimulate enhanced parliamentary action to contribute towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
