Fact: high-income countries must honour their commitments to climate justice

Fact

Climate change is one of the biggest contributors to hunger rates today. Climate change is also a man-made phenomenon. The effects of climate change on our global food systems cannot be reversed. High-income countries have committed to foreign assistance; the Paris Climate Agreement, and other initiatives aim to correct the imbalance of climate justice between countries responsible for the crisis and countries suffering the worst of its impacts. Many governments, however, have fallen short of their pledged funds and actions, and should be held to account for honoring those commitments.
