Climate change is a long-term threat to food security and nutrition. By 2050, the risk of hunger and malnutrition could rise by 20 percent if the global community fails to act now to mitigate and prevent the adverse effects of climate change. The majority of child deaths expected to occur as a result of climate change will be driven by undernutrition. Co-developed by the Nutrition and Climate Change Divisions, this brief provides an overview on the links between climate change and nutrition and why WFP should take action now to mitigate and prevent the adverse effects.
The climate crisis is one of the main drivers of global hunger. Anticipatory action is critical in saving lives and livelihoods, and helping communities adapt. This brochure outlines WFP’s work on forecast-based financing in East Africa.
The Bulletin examines satellite imagery and data from Government partners to assess the climate anomaly during May - July 2021 and how the prevailing conditions might impact on rice production in real-time and with near-term perspective. It also provides a rainfall forecast for the coming months.
WFP has extensive experience integrating climate risk insurance solutions as an element of financial and social protection. This factsheet provides a summary of the evidence on how WFP-supported microinsurance programmes protect vulnerable populations from climatic shocks.
While Southern Africa contributes only 1 percent to global carbon emissions, their temperatures are rising at double the global rate and climate impacts such as cyclones and droughts are rampant. This factsheet brings to the fore climate change challenges in the region and how WFP is supporting the people in adapting to this unrelenting phenomenon.
An impact evaluation by the Center for Disaster Protection (CDP) finds that WFP’s Forecast-based Financing programme had a substantial positive impact on the beneficiaries’ food security, asset loss and damage, and overall wellbeing.
In 2019, Mozambique was the most affected country world-wide by the impacts of extreme weather events. WFP has invested in a growing body of evidence on the impact of climate change in Mozambique.
