Kofi Annan Commission on Food Security report launch

27 May 2025. The Kofi Annan Commission, in partnership with ECDPM, hosted a hybrid event to launch the final report of the 

Kofi Annan Commission on Food Security. (2025) ReimaginingGlobal Governancefor Food Security # 58 pp

This report outlines actionable recommendations for reforming the global governance architecture for food and nutrition in light of today’s pressing challenges, including conflict, climate change, and post-pandemic financial pressures.

It calls for a “common commitment” among governments and food systems actors to recognize food security as a universal public good, intrinsically linked to climate governance.

This vision involves building a robust foundation of knowledge, prioritizing prevention and resilience, and establishing clear frameworks of measurement and accountability. By positioning food security as central to global justice, it urges the integration of fragmented frameworks to ensure investments reach those who need them most.
