The Climate
Crisis Is Here
We Need Urgent Climate Action
In a 2°C warmer world there could be 189 million more people going to bed hungry. In a 4°C warmer world this could reach a staggering 1.8 billion people. We must help people adapt and limit the damage to lives, livelihoods and crops.
Our Food Systems are at risk.
The climate crisis is affecting all components of our food systems – from production to consumption. Without globally coordinated action addressing climate change before 2030, we will be confronted with unprecedented levels of food insecurity.
The perfect climate for hunger
The climate crisis is one of the greatest threats to humanity and driving global hunger. We cannot end hunger without addressing the climate crisis.
