UN Chief Warns Of Global Food 'Catastrophe'

Post by Riddick » 06-28-2022 10:18 PM

“There is a real risk that multiple famines will be declared in 2022,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video message to officials from dozens of rich and developing countries gathered in Berlin. “And 2023 could be even worse.”

Guterres noted that harvests across Asia, Africa and the Americas will take a hit as farmers around the world struggle to cope with rising fertilizer and energy prices.

“This year’s food access issues could become next year’s global food shortage,” he said. “No country will be immune to the social and economic repercussions of such a catastrophe.”

The Berlin meeting's host, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, echoed Guterres' comments that several factors underlie an “unprecedented global hunger crisis” already affecting hundreds of millions of people.

“But it was Russia's war of attack against Ukraine that turned a wave into a tsunami,” Baerbock said.
