COP31: Climate disruption puts farmers and global food supplies under pressure
As delegates gather in Turkey for the COP31 climate conference, humanitarian agencies are highlighting growing food insecurity as an urgent consequence of climate disruption.
While discussions at the COP31 climate conference in Turkey focus on emissions and climate targets, humanitarian agencies are drawing attention to another critical issue: food insecurity. The return of El Niño has intensified concerns about extreme weather events and their impact on global food production.
Food systems at risk
The Food and Agriculture Organisation is urging world leaders to place food systems at the heart of climate action. With climate disruption increasingly threatening agricultural productivity, the organization warns that global food supplies face unprecedented pressure.
