In a bold and strategic move to combat the escalating global hunger crisis, the leadership of the Global Flagship Initiative for Food Security is set to convene a high-impact side event at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4). This pivotal gathering will take place on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM at the prestigious Alfonso XII Hotel, nestled in the heart of historic Casco Antiguo, Serilla, Spain.
This exclusive side event is expected to draw global policymakers, development finance leaders, agricultural innovators, and civil society champions to confront one of the most pressing challenges of our time: food insecurity amid a volatile global economy.
Under the banner of the Global Flagship Initiative for Food Security, leaders will spotlight the urgent financing needs and long-term investment strategies required to build resilient food systems worldwide. With food supply chains under threat from climate shocks, conflict, and inflation, the initiative aims to leverage innovative financing, public-private partnerships, and global solidarity to drive transformative action.
“We are at a critical juncture,” a representative of the initiative stated. “This side event is not just a conversation—it’s a call to action for sustainable investment in food systems that leave no one behind.”
The event, which forms part of the official FfD4 agenda, promises robust dialogue on mobilizing capital, aligning policy frameworks, and accelerating implementation of SDG 2: Zero Hunger.
As global hunger rates continue to rise, this side event in Serilla may well prove to be a defining moment in shaping a food-secure future for millions.
