2.  Global warming is exacerbating political
instability as tensions brought on by food
insecurity rise. Research suggests the issue
can only become worse.
 China is relatively resilient to climate
change. Its population is expected to
decline by up 400 million people this
century.
 According to climate change
projections, food production could shrink
by as much as 50 percent by 2020 in
some African countries, and by 30
percent.
 Drought, rocketing bread prices,
food and water shortages have all
blighted parts of the Middle East.
 There are studies that show anything
up to 200 million more food-insecure
people by 2050.
 Over 19 million children face
hunger-related death at any given
moment but only three percent of
them receive treatment.

3. Is Global
Hunger going
to Spread?
•Studies show that crops
will decrease by 30% by
2030.
•Some contributions to
global hunger are
Malnutrition, Poor
Maternal and child care,
poor access to drinking
water, diseases etc.
•It all originated from
climate change.
•In 2050 due to
malnutrition world wide
in children will raise to
20%.

4. What Can Drought Do To Affect Crops?
 Everything in the environment is connected, just like everything in our
communities is connected. Each different way that drought affects us is
what we call an impact of drought.
 Drought can cause a domino effect.
 Farmer’s crops dying.
 Farmer cannot afford a tractor from the dealership.
 The dealer loses money.
 The dealership might not be able to employ as many people or may
even have to close.

6. In June 1971-2000 Temperature had
increased when it reached 2010. An
equivalent of 10 years.
How Rapid is
the Climate
Changing?
•The Climate is changing
at an equivalent of 10
years by 0-11 degree’s
more.
•By us using cars to
commute, we create
more greenhouse gases.

greenhouse gases
trapping the heat.
