Global warming is exacerbating political instability as tensions brought on by food insecurity rise. Research suggests the issue can only become worse.

China is relatively resilient to climate change. Its population is expected to decline by up 400 million people this century.

According to climate change projections, food production could shrink by as much as 50 percent by 2020 in some African countries, and by 30

percent.

Drought, rocketing bread prices,

food and water shortages have all

blighted parts of the Middle East.

There are studies that show anything

up to 200 million more food-insecure

people by 2050.

Over 19 million children face

hunger-related death at any given

moment but only three percent of

them receive treatment.

Is Global

Hunger going

to Spread?

•Studies show that crops

will decrease by 30% by 2030.

•Some contributions to global hunger are Malnutrition, Poor Maternal and child care, poor access to drinking

water, diseases etc.

•It all originated from climate change.

•In 2050 due to malnutrition world wide

in children will raise to 20%.

What Can Drought Do To Affect Crops?

Everything in the environment is connected, just like everything in our

communities is connected. Each different way that drought affects us is

what we call an impact of drought.

Drought can cause a domino effect.

even have to close.

How Is Climate Change Affecting

Human’s Today?

•At least 2 million Ugandan’s are threatened with severe hunger and malnutrition following droughts across east Africa.

•Oxfam’s East Africa’s director says that many Ugandan’s are selling their cattle in order to afford food.

•Some say it’s the worst humanitarian crisis in East Africa over 10 years.

In June 1971-2000 Temperature had

increased when it reached 2010. An

equivalent of 10 years.

How Rapid is

the Climate

Changing?

•The Climate is changing at an equivalent of 10 years by 0-11 degree’s more.

•By us using cars to commute, we create

more greenhouse gases.

•Scientists say in about a decade, the world will be very hot due to greenhouse gases trapping the heat.

Crisis

•Food Production will

depend on how well

societies can adapt to

such climatic

changes.
