Hunger is not just an agricultural problem. It is the result of the intersection of climate, conflict and economics. The transition to renewable energy can reduce the pressure on prices and ecosystems, but without peace and fair solutions, progress will be slow.
Andrea Celeste Saulo, Director of the National Meteorological Service of Argentina, said:
The climate crisis is the defining challenge facing humanity, and it is closely intertwined with the crisis of inequality, as demonstrated by worsening food security, displacement of populations and loss of biodiversity.
📊 Updated data (2005–2023):
📌 2005–2019: The number of people with acute food shortages is 149 million
📌2023: The figure has risen to 333 million (in 78 countries, according to WFP)
📌The proportion of undernourished people: 9.2% of the world's population (735 million people) in 2022 - almost double the pre-pandemic level.
🇺🇳 In 2024, a new UN climate resolution was introduced, which includes the fight against hunger as one of the issues.
Key points of the resolution:
1. Reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 (from 2010 levels) to keep warming below 1.5°C
2. Financial support for developing countries: $100 billion annually until 2025 + new adaptation fund
3. Phase out coal by 2040 and ban fossil fuel subsidies
4. Protect ecosystems: Restore 30% of degraded lands and oceans by 2030.
✨ Will this resolution accelerate global action?
