The United Nations has issued its predictions for 2024, saying there will be increasing climate disasters, high food prices and more extreme weather. The flagship annual report looks at how the world&#8217;s economies are likely to do this year. This year&#8217;s lays out how the climate crisis, as the report calls it, is exacerbating an already gloomy economic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unfolding climate crisis and extreme weather events will undermine agricultural output and tourism, while geopolitical instability will continue to adversely impact several subregions \u2026 especially the Sahel and North Africa,\u201d the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2024 report says.<\/p>\n<p>In his foreword to the report, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, known to be a bold advocate for climate action, says that, &#8220;Investment in climate action and sustainable development is falling woefully short. Hunger and poverty are on the rise. And growing divisions between countries and economies are preventing an effective response.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2022 and 2023, high food prices impacted the quality of life of people around the world. The UN says these high prices will continue in Africa, South Asia and Western Asia. Food production, of course, relies on the right weather conditions and El Ni\u00f1o could cause problems here. El Ni\u00f1o is a warming of the ocean surface in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that can disrupt normal weather patterns globally.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the UN predicts that El Ni\u00f1o &#8220;will affect precipitation patterns in many Asian countries, causing extreme droughts or floods and consequently impacting agricultural output (WFP, 2023). These shocks are expected to be disproportionately severe in countries where agriculture accounts for the largest share of GDP.&#8221; Rain often follows drought and the UN says drought is most likely in Central America, South Asia, South-East Asia, Southern Africa and the Sahel. Storms and hurricanes could occur in the central Pacific and rains could affect the equatorial coast of South America.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/01\/06\/el-nino-failed-crops-and-more-extreme-weather-the-uns-predictions-and-recommendations-for-\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/01\/06\/el-nino-failed-crops-and-more-extreme-weather-the-uns-predictions-and-recommendations-for-\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/el-nino-failed-crops-and-more-extreme-weather-the-uns-predictions-and-recommendations-for-2024\/\">El Ni\u00f1o, failed crops and more extreme weather: The UN\u2019s predictions- and recommendations- for 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7520,575,1749,3270],"class_list":["post-121941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-el-nino","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-extreme","tag-weather"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
