2020 Nobel Peace Prize

The 2020 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the World Food Programme (WFP) for its efforts to combat hunger and improve conditions for vulnerable populations worldwide. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, millions faced increased hunger and food insecurity. The WFP provides emergency food assistance, supports sustainable agriculture, and works to meet the needs of those affected by conflicts, climate change, and economic hardship. The award recognizes their crucial role in addressing one of the most fundamental human rights—access to food—and their contributions toward building a more peaceful and stable world.
