Juan: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The UN World Food Programme estimates that 345 million people—of which 160 million are estimated to be children—are now facing acute food insecurity in 82 countries. That’s up from 135 million in 2020. In 2022, we aim to reach 152 million people. However, our confirmed contributions currently stand at just 36 percent of what is needed. Unfortunately, the WFP’s funding gap has never been so wide. We are working hard with governments and International Financing Institutions to ensure we can help bridge this gap. We want solutions to be scaled to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Max: My pleasure, Spiffy! The Greenzine is a youth-led platform organized by students and environmentalists under 30 years old that amplifies our work around redefining what climate action means. Our work includes written stories and articles, panels, interviews, social media, artwork, entrepreneurship, gardening, and advocacy. We encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to explore our site so that they can think more critically about environmental, social, political, and economic issues.
Jamie: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! Did you know that 70% of ten-year-olds worldwide are in “learning poverty,” meaning they are unable to understand a simple written text?
