Extreme poverty in Sub-Sahara Africa could increase exponentially by 2030

[31Flavors]

Climate change is already preventing people from escaping poverty, and without rapid, inclusive and climate-smart development, together with emissions-reductions efforts that protect the poor, there could be more than 100 million additional people in poverty by 2030, according to a new World Bank Group report released before the international climate conference in Paris.

The report, Shock Waves: Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty, finds that poor people are already at high risk from climate-related shocks, including crop failures from reduced rainfall, spikes in food prices after extreme weather events, and increased incidence of diseases after heat waves and floods. It says such shocks could wipe out hard-won gains, leading to irreversible losses, driving people back into poverty, particularly in Africa and South Asia.

"This report sends a clear message that ending poverty will not be possible unless we take strong action to reduce the threat of climate change on poor people and dramatically reduce harmful emissions," said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. "Climate change hits the poorest the hardest, and our challenge now is to protect tens of millions of people from falling into extreme poverty because of a changing climate."

Sub-Saharan Africa is by far the region most vulnerable to climate change. Without climate-informed development, 43 million more people - most of them in Ethiopia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Angola and Uganda - could fall into extreme poverty by 2030, largely as a result of lower crop yields and higher food prices, and the health impacts of climate change.

Climate change could result in less food/resources. It doesnt help that Africans are breeding at a rapid rate that the world has never seen before

There are over a billion people in Sub Saharan Africa right now. Out of that one billion there has to be a few geniuses and big thinkers. Africa needs big thinkers who'll lead and help the continent rise out of extreme poverty. With impending climate change, their very own survival depends on it. Unfortunately the likelihood of the continent overcoming this dilemma is stifled due repressive and corrupt governments. Africans governments must loosen the noose around their people and allow room for economic growth and empowerment.
The consequences of inaction will be catastrophic to the continent. And Africans will once again find themselves in a state of extreme vulnerability. We could see MASS migrations throughout the world causing strain on many nations.

Sub-saharans need to start calling out their corrupt politicians and overthrow them if need be

there are millions of Africans still without elecricity and basic necessities like clean water not to mention going hunger....how much worst can things get...the article is nonsense btw...if the poverty was to increase it would be cause of the same reason much of Africa is poo today:non Africans(cacs) controlling African nations resources and corrupt and incompetent Western stooge governments whom do little to nothing to develop their nations.

The IMF and World Bank need to be dealt with before anything substantive can happen. The politicians are simply their puppets
