Hungry for Change: Can we win the fight against hunger? (1)

Challenging Times of Poly Crises

Bewaffnete Konflikte, Pandemien, klimabedingte Wetterextreme, wachsende Ungleichheiten: Die Hindernisse im Kampf gegen den Hunger scheinen unüberwindbar zu sein. Das globale Nachhaltigkeitsziel Zero Hunger erscheint zunehmend außer Reichweite, da fast 800 Millionen Menschen an Hunger leiden und drei Milliarden Menschen keinen Zugang zu gesunder Ernährung haben. Dennoch kämpfen Aktivist*innen, Kleinbäuer*innen, Verbraucher*innen, humanitäre Organisationen und politische Entscheidungsträger*innen auf der ganzen Welt für Veränderung und für eine Welt ohne Hunger. Das Human Rights Forum bietet eine Plattform zur Vernetzung und zum Austausch über Synergien in diesen herausfordernden Zeiten der Polykrise. Gemeinsam werden wir die Transformation von Ernährungssystemen und das Recht auf Nahrung sowie humanitäre Fragen rund um Empowerment und vorausschauende humanitäre Hilfe werden bei hybriden Diskussionsveranstaltungen thematisieren. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme - online oder in Berlin!

Deep Dive I: Feminist Foreign Policy outlook – How to assure anticipatory humanitarian action is mitigating intersecting vulnerabilities?

Online-Teilnahme möglich

Klimabedingte Katastrophen treffen Frauen, Kinder, ältere Menschen und Personen mit Behinderungen besonders hart: Ihre Bedarfe werden in Risikoanalysen und Reaktionsplänen oft nicht beachtet und sie werden in Entscheidungsprozessen trotz ihrer möglichen Beiträge zur Resilienz marginalisiert. Um Inklusion und Resilienz im humanitären System umzusetzen, braucht es einen grundlegenden Wandel zu transformativen Ansätzen. Die deutsche Bundesregierung strebt bereits eine Vorreiterrolle in der vorausschauenden humanitären Hilfe an und verfolgt eine feministische Außenpolitik. Deswegen werden wir bei diesem runden Tisch diskutieren, wie diese politischen Zielsetzungen praktisch zum Kampf gegen Hunger beitragen können. Wie können Geber, Regierungen und Umsetzungsorganisationen inklusive und transformative Ansätze in Frühwarnsystemen und vorausschauender humanitärer Hilfe voranbringen, um Frauen als Change Agents in Zeiten der Klimakrise zu unterstützen? Als Redner*innen sind Audrey Oettli, Co-Vorsitzende der „Gender, Protection and Inclusion“-Arbeitsgruppe des Anticipation Hub, Konstantin Klammert, Referent für vorausschauende humanitäre Hilfe beim Auswärtigen Amt, sowie der stellvertretende Landesdirektor von ACF Bangladesch Tapan Kumar Chakraborty dabei. Die Keynote wird von Fatima Halima Ahmed gehalten, welche an der Umsetzung des Anticipatory Action-Projekts „STEP Bangladesh“ beteiligt ist.

Deep Dive II: Transforming food and agriculture systems – How can we enable a just and sustainable environment to assure food sovereignty for all?

Online-Teilnahme möglich

Das industrialisierte Ernährungssystem versagt an mehreren Fronten: Es verursacht ein Drittel der klimaschädlichen Treibhausgasemissionen, während es das Recht auf Nahrung für die drei Milliarden Menschen verletzt, die keinen Zugang zu gesunder Ernährung haben. Machtkonzentration in der Agrarindustrie setzt Kleinbäuer*innen Ausbeutung und Schuldenfallen aus, und die Nahrungsmittelproduktion im globalen Süden wird durch den Anbau von Cash Crops untergraben. Bei diesem runden Tisch wird Emile Frison, Forscher und Mitglied des International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES Food), diese Herausforderungen präsentieren und wir werden diskutieren, wie das System sich von seinem klimaschädlichen, ungesunden und ungerechten Status quo hin zu einer gesunden Ernährung für alle transformieren kann und muss. Wie kann Ernährungssouveränität als Leitprinzip für die Ernährungswende umgesetzt werden und aus welchen praktischen Beispielen können wir lernen? Unter den Redner*innen sind Swantje Nilsson, Abteilungsleiterin beim Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, John Otieno vom Regionalbüro von Action Against Hunger für das Horn von Afrika und Ostafrika, sowie Paula Gioia von La Via Campesina.

Am runden Tisch werden außerdem folgende Expert*innen teilnehmen:

  • Felipe Campelo, Landless Workers’ Movement (MST)
  • Savio Carvalho, Global Campaign Lead (Biodiversity), Greenpeace International
  • Dr. Daniela de Ridder, Mitglied des Bundestags (SPD)
  • Dr. Martin Frick, Direktor des Berliner Büros des World Food Programme
  • Lena Luig, Referentin internationale Agrarpolitik, Heinrich Böll Stiftung
  • Dr. Lisa Murken, Arbeitsgruppenleiterin “Adaptation in Agricultural Systems”, Potsdamer Institut für Klimafolgenforschung
  • Chengeto Muzira, ZIMSOFF/La Via Campesina
  • Alisa Keesey, Programmdirektorin, GiveLove Foundation
  • Juan Carlos Mendoza, Director, Environment, Climate and Social Inclusion, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
