今天，约瑟夫·拜登总统在第77届联合国大会（United Nations General Assembly）上发表讲话，宣布美国政府提供超过29亿美元新援助以解决全球粮食不安全的问题。拜登总统的上述宣布是在美国政府今年已为支持全球粮食安全而承诺的69亿美元的基础上追加提供的。
疫情、不断恶化的气候危机、能源和化肥价格的上涨以及旷日持久的冲突（包括俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵）的多方面影响扰乱了全球供应链，使全球粮食价格急剧飙升。非洲之角（Horn of Africa）的连年干旱引发了严重的人道主义救援紧急状况，索马里部分地区在短短十年多的时间里再次面临饥荒风险。这项新宣布的29亿美元援助将用于实施紧急干预措施以拯救生命，并投入于中长期粮食安全援助项目，来保护世界上最脆弱的人口免受不断升级的全球粮食安全危机的影响。
昨天，在联合国大会高级别会议周（UN General Assembly’s High-Level Week）期间，美国召集了由国务卿安东尼·布林肯（Antony Blinken）与欧盟、非洲联盟和西班牙领导人共同主持的全球粮食安全峰会（Global Food Security Summit），德国、尼日利亚、印度尼西亚和哥伦比亚也是该峰会的共同主办方。峰会重申了世界各国领导人的承诺，即紧急采取大规模行动，应对紧迫的全球粮食危机，避免世界各地数以亿计的人遭受极端饥饿。拜登总统还将于9月28日召开白宫有关饥饿、营养和健康的会议（White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health），以结束美国国内的饥饿问题，并减少与饮食有关的疾病。
今天，拜登总统宣布今年对挽救生命的人道援助和粮食安全援助增加以下投资：
全球人道援助：拜登总统宣布通过美国国际发展署（USAID）增加20亿美元全球人道援助。这项资助将帮助在面临粮食安全危机的国家中挽救生命，其中包括提供食品和营养品援助、医疗、安全饮水、对最脆弱人口的保护，以及其他关键救助。这项资助增加了对那些遭受疫情、气候危机以及因俄罗斯入侵乌克兰而带来的粮食价格上涨和供应链紧缺影响最严重的国家的紧急粮食安全项目安排。
全球发展援助：拜登总统还宣布对全球发展援助提供7.83亿美元资助，其中包括：
全球农业和粮食安全计划 (Global Agriculture and Food Security Program)：拜登总统宣布，美国已向全球农业和粮食安全计划捐助1.5亿美元，促成自新冠疫情爆发以来的第一次新的提案倡议（Call for Proposals）。美国的捐助将鼓励其他捐助方——包括政府、多边机构和慈善团体——匹配捐助并宣布额外的承诺，以支持全球农业和粮食安全计划的倡议。鉴于这一挑战的规模，美国认为我们只有通过与国际金融机构、国际组织和其他关键利益相关方合作建立创新伙伴关系，才能克服全球粮食不安全。通过这项倡议，全球农业和粮食安全计划将使我们能够合作应对日益严重的粮食安全危机中最紧迫的需求。

FACT SHEET: At United Nations General Assembly, President Biden Announces $2.9 Billion in Additional Funding to Strengthen Global Food Security

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Today, in his address to the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. announced over $2.9 billion in new assistance from the U.S. Government to address global food insecurity. President Biden’s announcement builds on the $6.9 billion in U.S. government assistance to support global food security already committed this year.
The compounding impacts of the pandemic, the deepening climate crisis, rising energy and fertilizer costs, and protracted conflicts – including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – have disrupted global supply chains and dramatically increased global food prices. A multi-year drought in the Horn of Africa has created a dire humanitarian emergency, with parts of Somalia at risk of famine for the second time in just over a decade. This new announcement of $2.9 billion will save lives through emergency interventions and invest in medium to long term food security assistance in order to protect the world’s most vulnerable populations from the escalating global food security crisis.
Yesterday, the United States convened a Global Food Security Summit co-chaired by Secretary of State Antony Blinken with the leaders of the European Union, African Union, and Spain, and co-hosted with Germany, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Colombia, on the margins of the UN General Assembly’s High-Level Week. The Global Food Security Summit reaffirmed the commitment of world leaders to act with urgency and at scale to respond to the pressing global food crisis and avert extreme hunger for hundreds of millions of people around the world. President Biden will also convene the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, on September 28, to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases here at home.
Today, President Biden announced the following additional investments in lifesaving humanitarian and food security assistance this year:
Global Humanitarian Assistance: President Biden announced an additional $2 billion in global humanitarian assistance through USAID. This funding will help save lives in countries facing food security crises, including through food and nutrition assistance, health care, safe drinking water, protection for the most vulnerable, and other vital relief. This funding increase emergency food security programming in those countries most impacted by the pandemic, the climate crisis, and the rise in food prices and supply chain constraints resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Global Development Assistance: President Biden also announced $783 million in global development assistance funding, including:
Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP): President Biden announced that the United States has contributed $150 million to the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program, enabling the first new Call for Proposals since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. contribution will encourage other donors—both government, multilaterals, and philanthropic groups—to match and announce additional commitments to support GAFSP’s Call. Given the scale of the challenge, the United States believes we can only overcome global food insecurity by working together to create innovative partnerships with international financial institutions, international organizations, and other key stakeholders. Through the Call, GAFSP will enable us to collaboratively respond to the most urgent needs of the growing food security crisis.
