Take Action: World Leaders: End Hunger by 2015!
Tell President Obama to commit to solving hunger by 2015 at this year's G8 Summit and beyond.
Goal: 15,000
•
Progress: 4,060
Sponsored by: The Hunger Site
In June 2013, the annual G8 Summit will be held, during which leaders from the world's eight largest economies come together to discuss issues of global concern. We need to send President Obama a message asking him to specially address the growing problem of global hunger.
If we are to eliminate extreme hunger and poverty by 2015 as established by the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals, the G8 Summit must focus much of its conversation on ways to tackle the underlying causes of malnutrition and indigence.
Hunger is the world's number one health risk, killing more people than tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS combined. Over 15,000 people will die today of hunger alone. If we don't address the ever-growing issue of world hunger, trying to solve other problems will be fruitless.
Urge President Obama to focus on solving world hunger by 2015 — both at the Summit and beyond.
Dear President Obama,
If we are to break the cycle of poverty and hunger by 2015, as established by the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals, this year's G8 Summit will need to put much of its focus on how to combat rising rates of malnutrition and indigence.
The facts are these:
· Hunger is the world's number one health risk, killing more people than tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS combined
· Over 15,000 people will die today of hunger alone
· One in four children in developing countries are malnourished
· One in seven of the world's population aren't healthy enough to lead an active life
These statistics are scary, but they're all too real. Hunger is a cyclical problem — hunger causes poverty which in turn causes more hunger. We must find the root causes of hunger in order to combat it, and that's what I'm hoping you'll work toward at the 2013 G8 Summit as well as throughout the rest of your career as a world leader.
Thank you for your time.

this is one of the problems that already has everything necessary to fix it. There is enough food, but not enough cooperation and infrastructure. Food production needs to be localized as much as possible, and assisted where profit greed would hinder it.
