Bonn/Berlin, 2024-06-03. With a disaster alert in southern Germany, a deadly heatwave in India, and a once-in-a-century drought in southern Africa, we can see climate change acting as a major driver of hunger and threatening the livelihoods of millions of people. In 2023 alone, some 400 natural disasters such as storms, floods, heatwaves, and droughts struck throughout the world, affecting over 90 million people and costing nearly 90,000 people their lives. Looking ahead to the climate conference being held from June 3rd to 13th in Bonn as the midpoint between COP28 and COP29, Welthungerhilfe calls for significantly more money to be committed to support people in the Global South.
