The World Bank predicts that in 2030 there will be 100 million more poor people due to climate change
The World Bank predicts that in 2030 there will be 100 million more poor people due to climate change. This is a figure that worries the nations, and they try to mitigate the crisis with actions to reduce the environment. Climate change is worsening the food crisis that many countries are experiencing, especially those in Africa.
One of the signs of climate change and its consequences of world hunger is the disappearance of Lake Chad. In the 60s it was about 26,000 square kilometers, 60 years later it only has 1,500 kilometers and its disappearance is accelerating. Fishermen in the area no longer find fish and people absorb the water to try to feed the animals and their own houses.
This impact has reached many parts of the world where thousands of tons a year were fished annually, but then production dropped to almost zero. In some parts, agriculture and livestock are left in the past due to the lack of water, while in other places there is no longer any biodiversity.
Wind chill starts to make a problem. Populations are constantly replanting the trees that once protected them, but there are no favorable climatic conditions for the microclimates that sustain the world to be reestablished.
In other parts of Africa the United Nations warns that thousands of children go to bed without having tasted a food and that malnutrition is wiping out entire populations.
The worst thing about this situation is that the great fault of climate change is the industrialized countries that do have food and drinking water at great costs. Its pollution impacts the poorest lands in the world, while some blame others for the damage caused.
Now the United Nations seeks to warn about the changes that will come in the coming years. Death from temperature has already started to be a public health problem, low productivity worries developing countries, but there is hope that politics will begin to change the climatic conditions of the peoples.
