The statement warns that cost-of-living pressures, collapsing trust, widening inequalities, and climate impacts are driving a make-or-break moment for the 2030 Agenda. It highlights the food and energy crises and the risks of escalating hunger, alongside volatile energy markets that deepen debt distress. It calls for urgent humanitarian action, market stability, and coordinated financing to support vulnerable countries and advance sustainable energy transition.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 14, 2022  \nDC/S/2022-0056 October 14, 2022  \nStatement by  \nAchim Steiner Administrator of the United Nations  \nDevelopment Programme  \nUnited Nations  \nU N I T E D N A T I O N S  N A T I O N S U N I E S  \nStatement by  \nAchim Steiner  \nAdministrator of the United Nations Development Programme  \nUnited Nations  \n106th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 14, 2022  \nWashington, DC  \n“A cost-of-living crisis is raging. Trust is crumbling. Inequalities are exploding. Our planet is burning. People are hurting…We have a duty to act. And yet we are gridlocked in colossal global  \ndysfunction”. 1  \nUN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres  \nWe are at a make-or-break moment for the 2030 Agenda, which remains a blueprint for a global recovery and a sustainable future for all. The COVID-19 pandemic, impacts of the war in Ukraine on the cost-ofliving, tightening financial conditions and unsustainable debt burdens are threatening a synchronized global recession – in the backdrop of an escalating climate crisis wreaking havoc across the globe.  \nFood and energy crisis: weathering the storm  \nWhile still struggling with the lingering economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, high food and energy prices have hit the world, strongly exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, and are leaving already vulnerable countries unable to protect their citizens. The international community cannot let the current food crisis escalate deeper into a food catastrophe.  \nIn 2021 levels of hunger globally already surpassed all previous records with 193 million people estimated to be acutely food insecure and in urgent need of assistance in the 53 countries/territories assessed in the annual Global Report on Food Crisis.2 The situation has worsened considerably this year driven by conflict, weather extremes and economic instability. Recently FAO and WFP called for urgent humanitarian action to save lives and prevent starvation in 19 hunger hotspots where food insecurity is expected to worsen from October 2022 to January 2023.3  \nWhile FAO’s food price index has come down from its peak in March 2022-helped on by the Black Sea Grain Initiative in July which allowed for commercial food exports from three Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea - food prices remain elevated and a number of factors could still severely worsen food security incoming seasons. Continued weather extremes and violent conflicts are disrupting agricultural production and high energy and fertilizer prices are raising input costs and negatively affecting crop production and yields adding upwards pressure on already high food prices.  \n1 [https://gadebate.un.org/en/77/secretary-general-united-nations](https://gadebate.un.org/en/77/secretary-general-united-nations)  \n2 Global Report on Food Crises 2022. At the time of publication, in 41 out of the 53 countries/territories included in the report, as well as Cabo Verde, between 179 million and 181 million people were already forecasted to be acutely food insecure (crisis or worse) in 2022.  \n3 Hunger Hotspots, FAO-WFP early warnings and acute food insecurity – October 2022 to January 2023 Outlook.  \nUNDP has estimated the potential effects of food and energy price inflation on household welfare with the devastating result that 71 million people could be pushed into poverty in 2022 with clear hotspots in the Caspian Basin, the Balkans, and Sub-Saharan Africa (particularly the Sahel) .4  \nTime is short to prevent the food crisis from escalating in 2023. The UN Global Crisis Response Group5 calls on the international community to bring stability to global markets, reduce volatility, and tackle the uncertainty of commodity prices.  \nThe same goes for
