A study prepared by Action Against Hunger (ACF) and distributed at the COP26 conference points out that poverty and the consequences of climate change are interconnected, since of the 35 countries most at risk, 27 already experience "extreme food insecurity"..

According to the report "Climate Change: A Crisis in the Making," this means that 117 million people in the world live with a critical level of hunger or worse, or that almost a third of its child population suffers from chronic malnutrition and short stature.

"The great injustice of this is that the people most affected by climate change are the least responsible for it," reveals the report, which ensures that the combined emissions of these twenty-seven countries do not exceed 5% of those belonging to the G7 members.

On the economic level, the paper indicates that the differences are more exaggerated, as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of these threatened countries is less than 2.5% of the GDP per person of the G7 members.

The report also predicts that if this trend continues, by 2040 up to 3.9 mimillion people will be exposed to major heat waves, 400 million will be unable to work, and there will be 10 million more deaths per year.
