Oxfam reaction to the FAO's report on climate change, water and food security
In response to the Food and Agriculture Organization's report, "Climate Change, Water and Food Security", Oxfam's international climate adviser Tim Gore said:
"This is a comprehensive report with frightening conclusions. Climate change is already making life harder for poor farmers and, left unchecked, will devastate our future food supply.
“The negotiators sitting in the climate change talks in Bonn right now should take notice. We need less talk and more action if a warming world is to feed itself."
