2. PM Modi Inaugurates’World Food India 2023’ in New Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially opened the second
edition of ‘World Food India 2023’ at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati
Maidan, New Delhi recently.
During the inauguration, the Prime Minister also extended Seed
Capital Assistance to over one lakh members of Self Help Groups
(SHGs) to strengthen these groups.
This support, marked by superior packaging and high-quality
manufacturing, is aimed at enabling SHGs to command better
prices in the market.
The event’s primary objective is to present India as the ‘food
basket of the world’ while celebrating 2023 as the International
Year of Millets.

3. Fossil Fuel Usage in Food Production Equals EU and Russia’s Emissions
A recent report, released on November 2, 2023, has unveiled a
startling revelation: food production is responsible for
approximately 15 percent of global fossil fuel usage each year,
equivalent to a staggering 4.6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide
emissions.
This finding places food production’s emissions on par with the
combined emissions of all European Union countries and
Russia.
This report represents the first-ever comprehensive estimate of
global fossil fuel usage across the entire food supply chain,
spanning from farm to table.

4. As the world witnesses a faster warming trend than ever before,
the global population’s health is increasingly at risk.
Climate change poses a substantial threat to public health,
particularly in vulnerable communities.
A multi-agency report coordinated by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) emphasizes the urgent need for accessible
climate information and services to support the health sector.
This report is part of WMO’s annual State of Climate Services
series and focuses on health-related challenges.

5. 2023 Adaptation Gap Report
According to the 2023 Adaptation Gap Report, climate
adaptation finance from public multilateral and bilateral
sources, such as the World Bank, declined by 15 percent in
2021, reaching approximately $21 billion.
Despite promises made at the 26th Conference of Parties
(COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change in Glasgow to double adaptation finance
support to around $40 billion per year by 2025, the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reveals a concerning
dip in funding.

6. Ecological Threat Report 2023
A recent report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)
warns that the number of people living in countries facing
severe ecological threats is expected to surge to 2.8 billion by
2050, up from the current 1.8 billion.
These alarming findings come as a result of increasing
environmental challenges and climate-related events.
The IEP’s Ecological Threat Report 2023 highlights that over half
of the countries facing severe threats are located in sub-Saharan
Africa.
The report assesses global ecological threats, pinpointing
countries and regions most susceptible to conflict, civil unrest,
and displacement due to environmental degradation.
