THE NOURISHING EFFECT

Dominic Chavez/World Bank A mother and daughter, Ebola survivors from Freetown, Sierra Leone, lost ten family members to the disease. The health impacts of climate change are often not well communicated to the public—or to policymakers. As a result, the climate change conversation is informed more by information on CO2 levels than by the numbers of children who will die from malnutrition. “Health puts a human face on what can sometimes seem to be a distant threat,” write the editors of The Lancet. “Public concerns about the health effects of climate change, such as undernutrition and food insecurity, have the potential to accelerate political action in ways that attention to carbon dioxide emissions alone do not.” 138 In 2015, The Lancet published a follow-up to its earlier report on climate change and global health, this time declaring, “Tackling climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century.” 139 Framing climate change as an opportunity rather than a threat is more than a rhetorical hook. The 2015 Lancet report is a clarion call to colleagues in global health to speak more forcefully on the threat of climate change and to help educate policymakers and the public about the consequences of delayed action. “The best defense is the same one that will protect us from outbreaks of infectious disease, and the mounting burden of noncommunicable diseases: strong, flexible, and resilient health systems,” says WHO Director-General Margaret Chan. 140 In many countries, the public is still divided over climate change and what needs to be done. In China and United States, the top CO2 emitters, only 40 percent of the population views climate change as a threat. 141 See Figure 3.9. But public pressure is required to move national governments to take bolder action on the problem. In December 2015, just weeks after the release of this Hunger Report, the latest UN conference on climate change convened in Paris, with pressure mounting for governments to act boldly. Until our protests are too loud for government leaders to ignore, we should not expect major breakthroughs in these or other international climate change negotiations. There are simply too many other priorities to preoccupy leaders when they return home, and there are simply too many other ways to spend political capital that offer a quicker return on investment. In 2015, Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, inserted himself into the global debate on climate change with the release of his second encyclical, Laudato Si’, on the environment. Addressed to everyone on Earth, not just the 1.2 billion Catholics, it is the first encyclical on the environment by any pope. In it, Francis bluntly equates destruction of the environment, including climate change, with injustices suffered by poor people: “We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis, which is both social and environmental. Strategies for a solution demand an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature.” 142 136 CHAPTER 3 • BREAD FOR <strong>THE</strong> WORLD INSTITUTE
CHAPTER 3 Hunger and poverty have not been a priority for the U.S. president and Congress for decades. As damage from climate change has mounted, the majority in Congress has refused to take action. Climate change has not been a compelling issue for most U.S. voters. Pope Francis just might help us achieve a shift in national priorities, so that our nation’s elected leaders help to put the United States and the world on track toward the virtual end of hunger. Vigorous action to address climate change is an important aspect of what is needed to end hunger.
