Climate change is about to hit the world in the stomach, according to the United Nations. A new scientific report from the world body that examines land degradation concludes that climate change will imperil crops and worsen hunger.
A new UN report on warming and land use says climate change is hitting us where it counts: in the stomach. Scientists say this vicious cycle is making food costlier, scarcer and even less nutritious.
The world needs to change its diet, revise its farming practices, and stop wasting food if we want to avoid catastrophic levels of climate change. That is the urgent message from the UN Inter-governmental panel on Climate change. But as Sarah Morice reports, the panel stopped short of calling on people to become vegetarian or vegan.
