The head of the United Nations warned on Tuesday that climate chaos and food crises are increasing threats to global peace, telling a high-level UN meeting that climate disasters threaten food production and "empty bellies fuel unrest".
"Climate and conflict are the two main drivers of (our) global food crisis," the Secretary-General said. "Where war rages, hunger reigns - whether due to displacement of people, destruction of agriculture, damage to infrastructure or a deliberate policy of denial." (Edith M.
