Climate change could push 122 mn into extreme poverty: UN

-AFP

Rome: Climate change could sink up to 122 million more people into extreme poverty by 2030, mostly in South Asia and Africa, where small farmers would see their output plummet, the UN warned Monday.

In an annual report, the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) warned that a worst-case scenario involving high-impact climate change would pound the communities that rely on agriculture for their livelihood.

It called for a “broad-based transformation of food and agricultural systems” to adapt to a warmer world, and doubling down on support for the world’s 475 million smallholder farm families.

“There is no doubt climate change affects food security,” FAO chief Jose Graziano da Silva said.

“Whatclimate change does is to bring back uncertainties from the time we were all hunter gatherers. We cannot assure any more that we will have the harvest we have planted.”

Farming is both a driver of climatechange, responsible for some 21 percent of global greenhouse gas production, and a victim, with crops adversely affected by drought and floods.
