Essay on the Effects of Climate Change on Food Security
Climate Change’s Impact on Food Security
OVERVIEW
You’ve been employed as a consultant by the United Nations (UN), and your job is to examine the impact that global warming is predicted to have on population growth and the ability of developing-world civilizations to secure appropriate food security.
ASSESSMENT OF THE CASE
Global warming is robbing the ecosystem of some natural resources as the world’s population approaches 10 billion by 2050. Developing countries will confront increasing challenges in enhancing the livelihoods of their populations and
stabilizing their access to enough food as their population declines. The reason these governments are still struggling is that our climate has an impact on their economic health and, as a result, on their people’s living standards. Climate
change is to blame for the current loss of biodiversity and physical access to some of the world’s most important farming regions. As a result, changes in global weather patterns have a negative impact on agricultural output and food
distribution to local and international markets. As the Earth’s climate changes for the worse, these problems will become much more severe for these countries. Temperatures are already rising slowly, and polar ice caps are melting, so the big
question is what this means for developing countries.
The developing world’s problem isn’t a shortage of food; rather, it’s a lack of access to food. Simply put, climate change has an impact on the global food chain and, as a result, on the living conditions of entire people. To make matters worse,
food isn’t getting to where it’s needed in time to avoid famine or starvation. In many developing countries, food shortages are caused by governments’ control over distribution networks, not by a lack of food. By favoring particular ethnic or
religious groups over others, these governments are effectively weaponizing food. When you add in the fact that we are currently witnessing catastrophic climate change, the future for billions of poor people appears increasingly bleak.
INSTRUCTIONS
You must prepare a compelling paper for the United Nations that tackles the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in underdeveloped countries:
Although the terms “climate change” and “global warming” are frequently used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. What are the distinctions between the two notions, and what causes the confusion?
The average worldwide temperature in 1900 was around 13.7 degrees Celsius (56.7 degrees Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but by 2020, it had climbed by 1.2 degrees Celsius to 14.9 degrees Celsius (58.9 degrees Fahrenheit). According to Earth
and climate scientists, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises another 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), we will experience catastrophic weather patterns that will, among other things, raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and
wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultural productivity around the world (Mastroianni, 2015 and Lindsey & Dahlman, 2020). What level of trust do you place in these forecasts? Why?
Changes in weather patterns do represent a threat to the Earth’s food supply, but what specific concerns does climate change offer to the food security of people in developing countries?
Some transnational lending agencies, such as the International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, and AID, are actively debating whether financial assistance for food security has been exploited by recipient government officials. On the other side, US
authorities claim that there is no misuse of their help because they have strong monitoring in place. What are your thoughts on the subject? Is there proof that government officials are abusing financial assistance to poor countries?
GUIDELINE
To receive full credit, your paper must have at least four full pages of content (one page for each of the four questions above), as well as a one-half page introduction and a one-half page conclusion, for a total of five full pages of text.
You must use at least seven reputable sources appropriate for the topics under discussion (excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias).
You must only use double-spacing between paragraphs and section headings, and no more space is allowed.
