On the agenda at these meetings was a strong common desire on the part of the UN and the Sovereign to focus on a post-COVID economic reconstruction that is both green and sustainable. The Prince also stressed the importance of fighting global warming and ocean pollution.

So that everyone in the world has enough to eat

Once again, the Government of Monaco has also reaffirmed its intention to fight world hunger.  Hence Monaco’s official participation in World Food Day on 16 October.  In an official statement, the Government reiterated its commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal n° 2, “Zero hunger”.

Monaco is currently funding a project to reduce severe child malnutrition in Niger, led by the French NGO Gret. If you too would like help tackle this humanitarian issue, you could perhaps download the ShareTheMeal mobile app to make a donation.
