German climate experts have conducted a new study highlighting the fact that climate change, and specifically rising temperatures, may cause food prices to increase by 3.2% per year.
The study warns that if climate change continues to worsen at this pace, this price inflation means more and more people around the world will not have a varied or healthy diet, or simply enough food.
The consequential impact of this phenomenon will be felt worldwide, by high and low-income countries alike, but nowhere more so than in the global south, the analysis confirms, adding that Africa will be worst affected despite contributing little to its causes.
