Oxfam published on 16 September 2022 a report titled "Hunger in a Heating World: How the Climate Crisis Is Fuelling Hunger in an Already Hungry World."
Climate change is fueling hunger for millions of people around the world. Oxfam looked at 10 of the worst affected "climate hotspots"--those countries with the most recurring UN humanitarian appeals in response to major extreme weather events since 2000. Seven of the 10 countries are in Africa: Burkina Faso, Djibouti, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. The other three are Afghanistan, Guatemala, and Haiti.
Oxfam found that acute hunger has more than doubled in those countries just over the past six years. Nearly 18 million people in these 10 countries are currently on the brink of starvation.
