Más de 27 millones de niños pasaron hambre por sequía e inundaciones en 2022

Extreme weather events, including severe droughts and floods, have drastically increased childhood hunger in vulnerable nations, highlighting the urgent human cost of climate change. This crisis disproportionately affects children, who often constitute nearly half of those facing acute food insecurity, demonstrating how environmental disasters exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and poverty on a global scale. The data reveals a sharp surge in malnutrition, underscoring the need for immediate policy interventions at international forums such as COP28. Recognizing children as key agents in climate action is essential to addressing these escalating humanitarian emergencies and implementing measures against climate change, conflict, and weak health systems. This report is highly relevant to open data because it relies on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a UN-led initiative that aggregates and shares standardized, transparent datasets. The IPC’s methodology demonstrates how open, comparable data across institutions enables accurate tracking of food security crises, informing evidence-based global responses to climate-induced emergencies.
