Climate Change Fuels Global Food Price Spikes
2025-07-23
A new study reveals that extreme weather events, including heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall, are driving up global food prices. From British potatoes to Indian onions, numerous countries are experiencing price shocks. Researchers found that climate change significantly increases the likelihood and intensifies these extreme weather events. This not only leads to food shortages but exacerbates inequality, as low-income households struggle to afford rising food costs, facing increased risks of malnutrition. The study urges immediate action to address climate change to prevent even more severe food crises in the future.
