CLIMATE CRISES
THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS A HUNGER CRISIS
Drought, floods, fires, heat waves and other climate shocks are driving people from their homes, destroying their livelihoods and plunging communities into hunger. Climate change has a dramatic impact on the quantity and nutritional quality of food produced around the world. It also pollutes and threatens water supplies.
Action Against Hunger helps communities adapt and build resilience to extreme weather patterns and disasters, while finding sustainable sources of healthy food.
