Book (series)Flagship2019年世界粮食安全和营养状况
防范经济减速和衰退
2019今年的报告通过实证证明，食物不足人口的绝对数在继续增长。报告还强调，粮食不安全不仅只意味着饥饿。报告首次通过实证证明，世界上有很多人即使不遭受饥饿，但面临着中度粮食不安全，无法确定有能力获取食物，被迫在自身所消费的食物质量和/或数量上做出牺牲。这一现象在世界各国均有存在，不仅包括低收入和中等收入国家，也包括高收入国家。报告还表明，世界在实现全球营养目标方面面临困难，包括有关低出生体重和降低五岁以下儿童发育迟缓发生率的目标。此外，超重和肥胖现象在所有区域均在加重，尤其是在学龄儿童和成人当中。报告强调，没有任何一个区域能免于超重和肥胖问题大流行的问题，说明有必要采取多方面、多部门方法来阻止和扭转这些令人担忧的趋势。在世界经济处于脆弱状态的背景下，报告提出新的证据，证实饥饿问题在面临经济减速或收缩的很多国家中呈上升趋势。在深入分析经济减速和衰退与粮食不安全和营养不良之间的关联后，报告认为，前者对后者的影响只能通过解决饥饿和营养不良的根源问题才能得到抵消，这些根源问题包括贫困、不平等、边缘化。报告最提出一系列有助于解决这些根源因素以及在经济减速和衰退时期保障粮食安全和营养的短期和长期政策建议。 -

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
