The world has faced a food erisis of unprecedented(前所未有的）proportions in2022一the
largest in modern history,as conflict,the COVID-19 pandemic,climate crisis and rising costs have
combined to pose great risks for hungry people across the world.As many as 828 million people go to
bed hungry every night.The number of those facing acute food insecurity has risen from 135 million to
345 million since 2019.A total of 49 million people in 49 countries are suffering hunger,according to
figures from the United Nations'World Food Programme.
"We are facing an unprecedented global food erisis and all signs suggest we have not yetse the
worst.For the last three years,hunger numbers have repeatedly hit new peaks,"WFP Executive Director
David Beasley said.He warned that things can and will get worse unless there is a large-scale and
coordinated(协调一致的effort to address the causes of this crisis.
There are many reasons for prevailing high levels of food insecurity.These reasons include
conflicts,climate changes and weather extremes,economic slowdowns and downturs.In addition,these
drivers often do not act alone.For instance,conflicts are often accompanied by economic downturs,
which affect liveliboods and the ability of people to ear resources,leading to increasing poverty levels
and higher prevalence (of food insecurity.
Unfortunately,the main reasons for high levels of food insecurity have not improved this year.
People in the Hor of Africa are facing a fifth consecutive failed rain season in parts of
Ethiopia,Kenya and Somalia,which will constrain their produetion,and is likely to push many people
deeper into food insecurity.
Moreover,there is uncertainty about the weather.And climatic shock affecting any major producer
or exporter will introduce additional uncertainty into production and consequently prices,which in tum
impact the ability to purchase food,particularly of the most vulnerable people.

Climate Acts Must Focus on Youth
Children and young people are bearing the burden of climate change.However,they are
consistently overlooked in the design and content of climate policies and related measures.The rights of
the youth need to be put in a central place in a country's climate change plan as extreme weather
events are threatening their lives and destroying the infrastructure critical to their well-being.
The scientifie community has sounded the alarm that climate change is a global emergency,and
the risks of deadly drought,frequent floods,heat waves,extreme weather,and poverty will significantly
worsen.
Over half a billion children live in high flood zones and nearly 160 million live in areas of
extremely high drought,said a report released in 2015 by the United Nations Children's Fund,or
UNICEF.Polluted air has a huge impact on children's brain development.It is estimated about 2
billion children live in areas with air quality that is well above international pollution standards.Air
pollution,lack of safe water,underutrition are strongly linked to pneumonia(),a leading cause of
death among children,killing nearly 2,400 children a day.The increase of diseases such as malaria and
dengue fever have the greatest impacts on children,for example,90 percent of the disease burden that
is attributable to climate change is bom by children under the age of five.The UNICEF report said all
these challenges are exacerbated (by climate change.
Through the intergovemmental cooperation on climate change,the UN has made it clear the
impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in raising.Actively responding to
climate change is not only imperative ()but also key to sustainable development for generations
to come as children and young people are the future of mankind.
We are all glad to see children and young people are encouraged to play a key role in addressing
climate-related risks by promoting environmentally sustainable lifestyles and setting an example for
their communities.
