Participation of Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in the G20 Heads of State and Government Summit, Bali
On 14, 15 and 16 November 2022, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, traveled to Bali, Indonesia, where she participated in the G20. G20 leaders gathered for a two-day summit hosted by the Indonesian G20 presidency in Bali under the theme "Recovering Together, Recovering Stronger." The Commission is stepping up support to help those most affected by the devastating effects of rising food insecurity globally. A new humanitarian aid package of €210 million will be provided in 15 countries to meet their growing needs. This brings the EU's overall support for global food security to up to €8 billion between 2020-2024. In 2022, food insecurity reached unprecedented levels, both in scale and severity with at least 205 million people currently acutely food insecure and requiring urgent assistance. This is the highest level on record. Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen remain at risk of famine.
