  5. United Nations Climate Action – On climate, food and agriculture
Up to 811 million people in the world faced hunger in 2020, as many as 161 million more than in 2019. Systems to produce, package and distribute food generate a third of greenhouse gas emissions and cause up to 80 per cent of biodiversity loss. Food system emissions will likely increase by up to 40 per cent by 2050.
