(CNN) — A small group of ultra-wealthy individuals could help solve world hunger with just a fraction of their net worth, says the director of the United Nations' World Food Programme. A "perfect storm" of several crises, such as climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic, mean many nations are "knocking on famine's door," Beasley said. A series of new reports from the Biden administration issued a stark warning last week: The effects of climate change will be wide-reaching and will pose problems for every government. Among the reports, the administration details how climate change is driving migration, the first time the US government is officially recognizing the link between climate change and migration. This story was first published on CNN.com, "2% of Elon Musk's wealth could solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization."
