MEXICO CITY - Climate change will accelerate humanitarian crises around the world in 2023, adding to the issues created by armed conflict and economic downturns, according to a study by the NGO International Rescue Committee .
Climate change is among the key factors accelerating humanitarian emergencies, the IRC noted, despite the fact that the 20 countries on its emergency watchlist - like Haiti and Afghanistan - contribute just 2 per cent to global CO2 emissions. It pointed to record-long periods of rains, which has “brought catastrophic food insecurity to Somalia and Ethiopia”, and killed thousands in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, food insecurity is already rife due to growing conflict as well as the economic crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic, it said.In addition, the gap between humanitarian needs and its financing has grown to a global deficit of US$27 billion as of November 2022.
