Den Hunger beenden, die Einkommen steigern und das Klima schützen: Was würde das die Geldgeber kosten?
Summary
This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) estimates the public funding required by 2030 to end hunger, double the incomes of smallholder farmers, and maintain agricultural greenhouse gas emissions within the limits of the Paris Agreement. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, the authors determine that donors must nearly double their current annual contributions to food security, supplemented by increased domestic tax revenue in low- and middle-income countries.
Key insights
- To end hunger and double smallholder incomes by 2030 while adhering to Paris Agreement greenhouse gas emission commitments, donors must contribute an additional 14 billion USD per year. This represents a doubling of current annual donor contributions for food and nutrition security, which currently average 12 billion USD.
- Official Development Assistance (ODA) alone is insufficient to meet the goals. Low- and middle-income countries must raise an average of 19 billion USD more per year through increased tax revenues.
- The combined additional public spending from donors and low- and middle-income countries is estimated to lift 490 million people out of hunger and double the average incomes of 545 million smallholder farmers. Furthermore, these public investments are expected to trigger an average of 52 billion USD in additional annual private investments from both small and large-scale producers in the primary and processed food sectors.
- The report identifies three essential categories of intervention to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: (1) enabling inclusion (e.g., social safety nets and vocational training), (2) on-farm measures (e.g., R&D, irrigation, and fertilizer subsidies), and (3) post-harvest food measures (e.g., storage and rural road infrastructure).
- Africa is the region with the highest need for additional funding because more than half of the world's undernourished population is expected to live on the continent by 2030. Two-thirds of the total additional public spending required to meet the goals are needed in Africa.
- The timing of expenditures is critical; early investments in long-term measures such as Research & Development (R&D) yield better returns and avoid increased total costs associated with delays.
