COP30, global warming and the looming food crisis

COP30 in Belém, Brazil, says the world is on track to experience 2.6 degrees global warming, far exceeding the 1.5 degrees target set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. And with extreme weather events and climate-related food insecurity disproportionately impacting the world's most vulnerable, what needs to be done to avoid a full-scale climate catastrophe? In this episode of The Hub, Wang Guan talks with Richard Choularton, director of Climate and Resilience Service at the World Food Programme, and Raphael Leão, regional programme policy officer for Panama at the World Food Programme. They examine the climate's impact on extreme weather events, food security and poverty levels around the world. They also explore China's efforts in strengthening sustainable agricultural practices and what it is doing to share its experiences with developing countries.
