Climate Change Contributes to Global Hunger Crisis: One in Eleven Affected

Climate Change Contributes to Global Hunger Crisis: One in Eleven Affected
A recent report highlights that one in eleven people experienced hunger last year, with climate change being a significant contributing factor. The findings underscore the urgent need for climate action to address food insecurity worldwide.

Key Insights:

  • Impact of Extreme Weather: Extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes negatively affect crop production, leading to reduced food availability and increased hunger rates.
  • Disrupted Agricultural Cycles: Climate change disrupts traditional agricultural cycles, making it difficult for farmers to predict planting and harvesting times, which further impacts food production and availability.
  • Vulnerable Regions Most Affected: Regions already struggling with poverty and food insecurity are disproportionately affected by climate change, exacerbating the hunger crisis in these areas.
