Climate change threatens livelihoods of more than 100 million Africans (The Exchange)  

October 31, 2022


The Exchange (Africa) refers to the IFPRI book on Food security, farming, and climate change to 2050 in an article about climate change in Africa, and its role in the livelihoods of more than 100 million people living in severe poverty on the continent.   

“According to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), climate change impacts will result in higher temperatures and inconsistent rainfall patterns by 2050, causing changes in crop yields and agricultural sector development, higher food costs, decreased food availability, and worsened child malnutrition.”
