世界粮食计划署新任执行主任Lindberg上任：全球2.66亿人面临严重饥饿，减少冲突是第一要务
据联合国新闻10月28日报道，世界粮食计划署（WFP）新任执行主任 Luke Lindberg 10月27日宣誓就职，28日在纽约联合国总部举行上任后首场记者会。他说，全球目前有2.66亿人面临严重粮食不安全，也就是最严重的饥饿，其中三分之二直接由冲突造成。
「冲突是人为造成的局面，是可以解决的，」Lindberg 说，「我们能为减少世界饥饿做的头等大事，就是减少世界各地的冲突。」他还警告，厄尔尼诺现象将使另外4,900万人陷入严重粮食不安全，而全球供应链的咽喉点位正在进一步加剧问题。
Lindberg 列出三大优先事项：保护人道工作者、加强与捐助方的伙伴关系、提高运作效率。他说，过去几年已有700多名人道工作者在救人过程中丧生，「任何人都不应为救别人而失去生命」。他表示，美国仍是 WFP 最大的捐助国，私营部门已成为该机构第五大捐助来源；特朗普总统曾亲自致电，请他出任美国提名的这一职位。
Lindberg 此前任美国农业部负责贸易与外国农业事务的副部长，接替2023年4月至2026年5月担任执行主任的 Cindy McCain；今年6月以来由 Carl Skau 代理执行主任。WFP 目前在83个国家开展工作。
New WFP Chief Lindberg Takes Office: Reducing Conflict Is the 'Number One Thing' to Cut Hunger Affecting 266 Million People
UN News reported on October 28 that Luke Lindberg, the new Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), was sworn in on October 27 and held his first press conference in the role at UN Headquarters in New York on Wednesday. He said 266 million people worldwide now face acute food insecurity — the worst kinds of hunger — and that two thirds of them are directly attributable to conflict.
"Conflict is a man-made situation. It is something that we can solve for," Mr. Lindberg said. "The number one thing we can do to reduce hunger in the world is to reduce the amount of conflict that is happening all around the world." He warned that El Niño is about to put 49 million more people into acute food insecurity, while choke points in global supply chains are exacerbating the problem further.
Mr. Lindberg outlined three priorities: protecting humanitarian workers, strengthening donor partnerships, and improving operational efficiency. More than 700 humanitarians have been killed in the last few years while trying to save lives, he said: "Nobody should lose their life trying to save somebody else's." He said the United States remains WFP's largest funder and the private sector is now its fifth-largest donor, and that President Donald Trump had personally called him to ask him to be the US nominee for the post.
Mr. Lindberg previously served as Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs at the US Department of Agriculture. He succeeds Cindy McCain, who led WFP from April 2023 to May 2026, and Carl Skau, who has served as Acting Executive Director since June. WFP teams currently operate in 83 countries.
