Overlapping Crisis Campaign: Food and energy

Record high food and energy prices have triggered global crises that will drive millions more into extreme poverty, magnifying hunger and malnutrition, and devastating economic losses, while threatening to erase hard-won gains in development. The war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and the continued economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic are reversing years of development gains and pushing food and energy prices to all-time highs.

During the pandemic and recent crises, we've highlighted the voices of youth leaders around the world – sharing their stories, perspectives, and suggestions for a resilient recovery from COVID-19 and for a greener, and more inclusive future. We believe that you are critical in driving forward ideas and actions on global issues - and that your voices deserve attention.

That’s why we want to hear from YOU and feature YOUR ideas on our social media channels and during our World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings.
