Strong Adaptation Policies Needed to Combat Climate Change-Induced Hunger

A new report from the World Food Programme (WFP) – co-published by IFPRI – Climate Change and Hunger: Responding to the Challenge details the profoundly negative future impacts of climate change on hunger and malnutrition rates in developing countries, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. To combat these effects, negotiators currently meeting in Copenhagen to discuss an international climate agreement must support robust institutions and policy frameworks for adaptation to climate change to ensure technology transfer, strong social safety nets, and disaster risk management. Fundamentally, these institutions should aim to make agricultural production systems more resilient and equitable. The WFP report complements the September 2009IFPRI report, Climate Change: Impact on Agriculture and Cost of Adaptation.
