Climate Change and Its Impact on Food Security

Global warming does more than change climates. It intensifies famine and droughts by shortening the rainy season and drying up lakes. This reduction in resources and livelihoods creates conflicts as people fight over fertile land, water, and the space necessary for sustenance and livelihoods. Temperatures, and tensions, rise with climate change, threatening our homes and our lives. This is the cost of carbon and the price everyone is paying for allowing the pollution to continue.

Although this video only focuses on the consequences of food security in Africa, climate change and the cost of carbon have impacted more than this content. The cost is higher than Africa alone, and the cost is much more than the struggle for food. Below are the facts that you can tweet to spread the message about climate change, it’s impact on food security, and the current cost of carbon.
