Climate Change Threatens Global Food Security, Hitting Africa Hardest

Climate change could cause global food prices to rise 3.2% per year by 2035, reducing access to healthy diets.

Africa will be worst affected, with Ghana seeing widespread food insecurity already.

The same climate impacts causing inflation also make food harder to produce and access.

Households forced to compromise on food quantity and quality become more vulnerable to disease.

Reducing emissions and diversifying economies could limit the economic impacts, but aid is still needed.
