being presented to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva this week,
Alston warns hundreds of millions of people will face food insecurity,
forced migration, disease, and death this century – and even in the
short term the mounting crises will be devastating in effect.<p>"It could push more than 120 million more people into poverty by 2030," <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=24735&LangID=E">Alston says</a>.</p><p>"Climate change threatens to undo the last 50 years of progress in development, global health, and poverty reduction."</p><p>The
biggest risk, the report explains, is to the world's poor; people from
nations who are the least responsible for the consequences of carbon
pollution, but who will feel its most severe impacts."</p>
