2020 SDG2 Policy Priorities
Following discussion and feedback, the SDG2 Advocacy Hub community has agreed the following policy priorities for 2020. These policy priorities are to act as a starting point and will be refined and built upon as we move through 2020 towards the UN Food System Summit 2021.
Each policy priority will have a working group to drive this work forward as well as a knowledge page on the Hub's site that gathers updates, news, resources and case studies for each sub-goal.
