One in 11 people went hungry last year. Climate change is a big reason why
Summary
A United Nations report reveals that one in 11 people globally experienced hunger last year, with one in three struggling to afford a healthy diet. The report highlights the significant impact of climate change on food security, exacerbating hunger through extreme weather events, disease spread, and displacement. The number of chronically undernourished people increased by 152 million since 2019, with low-income nations being the hardest hit. Experts warn that without concerted efforts from governments, NGOs, and the private sector, the situation will worsen, leading to more conflicts and migration. The report calls for a unified approach to funding food security and addressing climate-related challenges.
