Could reduced air pollution from climate mitigation boost crop yields and lower hunger risk?
An international research team used multiple global agroeconomic models and found that climate mitigation consistent with the 1.5 °C target could raise global hunger risk in 2050 by 17% (56 million people) compared with a baseline scenario that assumes today's climate and air pollution conditions persist. However, the concurrent reduction in ozone offsets approximately 15% (8.4 million people) of this increase, with Sub-Saharan Africa and India …
An international research team has used several global agro-economic models and has discovered that mitigating climate change in line with the 1.5°C target could increase the risk of hunger worldwide by 17% in 2050 (56 million people) compared to a baseline scenario that assumes that [...]
Cleaner air from climate action could ease hunger risks
The fight against climate change could unintentionally make global hunger worse. But a new international study suggests that cleaner air – resulting from the same climate policies – could offset part of that harm. Previous research has suggested that some climate mitigation measures – such as carbon pricing, expanding crops used for bioenergy and planting forests in new areas – might raise food prices and reduce the number of calories available …
There is something deeply contradictory about our attempts to combat climate change: it can lead to more hunger in the world. Fortunately, cleaner air, more specifically less ozone, can solve part of the problem. This is shown by new international research published in Nature Food. Scientists used six global agro-economic models to calculate […] More science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl.
