The UN human rights chief warned on Monday that climate change could leave an additional 80 million people facing hunger by 2050, citing systemic inequalities that make food inaccessible and unaffordable.
In a post on Twitter, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said that one in ten people worldwide already suffer from hunger.
“This isn’t about lack of food—it’s about systems that make food inaccessible, unaffordable and unsustainable,” he said.
“We need food and land use systems built on equity, sustainability and human rights,” Turk urged.
