Ebola crisis may result in more hunger: UNDP report

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Wild price swings caused by the Ebola health crisis are making it more difficult for households to feed themselves and make a stable living, and action is required to keep food on the market, protect the poor and support farmers, according to a new UN report released on Monday.

"Border closures, movement restrictions and a slowdown in farming activity are shaking food markets badly," said Ayodele Odusola, chief economist at the Regional Bureau for Africa of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

"This could have a disastrous impact on households, both because farmers are unable to make a living and because families are finding very different prices on the local market from one day to the next. People living in rural and remote areas are feeling the impact of reduced purchasing power more than their urban counterparts," he said.

Since the onset of the Ebola crisis early this year in West Africa, buying power went down by 20 percent in Sierra Leone and by more than 25 percent in Liberia, said the study.

Abundant Clean Renewables? Think Again!

Although "renewable" energy is growing faster than ever before, it is neither carbon neutral, "clean" nor sustainable. We need to transform into low-energy societies that meet human - not corporate - needs.

Renewable energy is growing faster than ever before. Sure, some countries are lagging behind, but others are setting widely praised records.

Germany has installed over 24,000 wind turbines and 1.4 million solar panels, and renewables generate 31 percent of the country's electricity on average - and as much as 74 percent on particularly windy or sunny days. According to the German government, 371,400 jobs have been created by renewable energy. Norway generates 99 percent of its electricity from renewable energy. Denmark already generates 43 percent of electricity from renewables and aims to phase out fossil fuel burning by 2050.
