Child Hunger to Increase Due to Climate Change

Up to 25 million more children will be malnourished in the next 40 years due to climate change, with sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia the worst affected, according to a new report issued on Wednesday.

The report, released by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and detailing the impact of climate change on agriculture, says without climate change about 113 million children under five years of age will be malnourished by 2050.

But that number is expected to rise dramatically due to the ravaging effects of global warming on food production around the world, IFPRI said.
