Recommendation

As calls for immediate action on climate change grow louder, the Global Commission on Adaptation has launched a series of summits connecting government, scientific and business leaders. The Commission, led by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kristalina Georgieva, CEO of the World Bank, and Bill Gates, suggests adaptation methods to protect food and water supplies, infrastructure, and ecosystems. This sobering report will reassure people that, if leaders take decisive actions, the situation can be changed. If they do not, the world may quickly deteriorate.

Take-Aways

  • Climate change affects food production, environmental management, infrastructure, water supplies and disaster recovery. 
  • The Global Commission on Adaptation’s “Call to Action” recommends revolutions in understanding, planning and finance.
  • Climate change drives food insecurity, especially in developing countries.
