Causes of world hunger
Poverty
-
9.2% of the world (or 689 million people) live in extreme poverty on less than $1.90 a day (World Bank).
Extreme poverty rates nearly doubled in the Middle East and North Africa between 2015 and 2018, from 3.8% to 7.2%, mostly because of crises in Syria and Yemen.

Climate change
The agricultural productivity losses due to increased temperature are estimated to induce hunger and malnutrition rates up 20 percent by 2050 (World Food Programme).
According to the IPCC, crop yield declines of 10-25 percent may be prevalent by 2050 because of climate change. (Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States)
Climate change is making climate disasters, such as floods and droughts, more frequent and intense, land and water more scarce and difficult to access, and increases in agricultural productivity even harder to achieve (World Food Programme).
As a result of climate change, two-thirds of the arable land in Africa could be lost by 2025 (World Food Programme).
By 2050, we can expect 24 million more malnourished children as a result of climate change. Almost half of this increase, 10 million children, will be in sub-Saharan Africa. (World Food Programme).
