August 18, 2022


The Daily Star published an article on the Bangladesh launch of the 2022 Global Food Policy Report and its findings. According to the IFPRI report, says the number of victims of hunger would be 11.3 million in 2030 if there was no impact of climate change. According to the report, launched yesterday for Bangladesh at a Dhaka hotel, over 750 million people in South Asia are affected by floods, droughts, and climatic hazards caused by climate change. Channing Arndt, director of IFPRl’s Environment and Production Technology Division, said the global emissions from the agriculture and food sectors would pose a big challenge over the next 30 years and countries need to address it.
