Hadramawt, Yemen
A UN report projects an increase in malnutrition and poverty in Yemen if climate action to build resilience is not undertaken.
“With climate change, by 2060, it is projected that a cumulative $93 billion would be lost in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 3.8 million more people would suffer from malnutrition in Yemen,” said the report released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on Sunday.
“Today, climate change is not theoretical; we are already witnessing changing weather patterns in Yemen, and the worse is yet to come. With no action, it is projected that climate change will be responsible for over 121,000 deaths in Yemen by 2060,” said UNDP Yemen Resident Representative Zena Ali Ahmad.
“UNDP’s new report outlines how a strategy to build resilience can help to mitigate the projected impacts of climate change in Yemen, to secure a decent future for the next generation in an already fragile context,” he added.
