Climate Change Could Expose 1.1 Billion People to Hunger

Climate change is no longer a distant environmental issue; it is quickly becoming one of the biggest threats to global food security. Scientists warn that if greenhouse gas emissions keep rising at their current pace, up to 1.1 billion people could face hunger by 2100. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and severe weather events are already disrupting how food is grown, harvested, and distributed worldwide.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change is reducing crop productivity in many vulnerable areas while increasing the risk of food shortages, especially in developing countries.
