Poverty in Africa: progress undermined by climate change
Climate change threatens progress in Africa in the fight against poverty and food security, warned Tuesday the United Nations UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The main consequence of rising temperatures and increasingly unpredictable climate would be a setback likely agricultural yields (-6.9% in the case of maize, a staple food), said in a statement FAO, headquartered in Rome.
A third of Africa's population lives in areas prone to drought and the ten largest cities in Africa, six are located on the coast. These two types are vulnerable to climate change, according to the paper presented at the FAO Regional Conference for Africa in Luanda (Angola) this week.
Climate change will affect the poorest African countries so disproportionate and heaviest impact will be felt their poorest people, according to FAO.
Adaptation to climate change through sustainable practices, including the promotion and protection of traditional foods and local agricultural knowledge, should be a priority, the document said.
What makes more shit in this kind of message is to see how the current situation is not really important for these people. What matters to them is the fact that it could possibly be worse. View the message all is the conditional or future. Nothing in the present.
But these people are poor today and tomorrow will starve. What are you doing this? Nothing! What matters is those above that could possibly die if your fears prove true.
But what did you go behind this mask of compassion? Monsters or manipulative? .... Ha !,... UN? ... OK ....
Adaptation to climate change through sustainable practices, including the promotion and protection of traditional foods and local agricultural knowledge, should be a priority, the document said.
Finally, I think you're probably eating monsters of suffering and death of these people!
The promotion and protection of traditional foods and local priority eh?
These people do not starve since yesterday morning! And what do you identify as priority number 1 for out of poverty? The status quo .... they continue to do as they have always been ...
Bravo dear UN! Still relevant ...
And then we wonder why nothing changes in these countries despite decades of interventions ...
Francois.
