#NobelPeacePrize The decision of the Norwegian Committee comes as progress in defeating global hunger is being reversed - mainly because of conflict.
This puts the struggle of the 690 million people who go to bed hungry at the centre of world attention.

Where there is conflict, there is hunger. And where there is hunger, there is often conflict.
Without peace, we cannot achieve our global goal of #ZeroHunger; and while there is hunger, we will never have a peaceful world. 🕊️🌏#NobelPeacePrize
