＃重點摘要

Climate change is having a negative effect on global agriculture and is driving up the number of hungry people around the world.
It found that 821 million people -- one in every nine -- were malnourished in 2017, up from 815 million in 2016.

氣候的巨變正對全球農業產生極大的影響，也使全球飢餓人口的數量不斷地上升。
這份報告指出在2017年有8億2千1百萬餘人(世界人口九分之一)是營養不良的飢餓人口，比2016年的統計人數8億1千5百萬又高出一些。

The UN said the situation is worsening in South America and most regions of Africa, while the trend in undernourishment in Asia seems to be slowing significantly.

聯合國指出南美洲以及大部分非洲地區的飢餓人口情況更為嚴重，而亞洲的飢餓人口數的成長速度看起來減緩了許多。

Changes in climate are undermining production of major crops such as wheat, rice and maize in tropical and temperate regions, a trend that is expected to worsen as temperatures become more extreme.

氣候的變遷破壞了大部分農作物的產能，比如小麥、米、玉米在熱帶栽種地區，而目前的趨勢也預估會因為溫度的上升而變得更加極端。

The number of undernourished people tends to be higher in countries highly exposed to climate extremes, the report said.
Rising temperatures, the late or early start of rainy seasons and the unequal distribution of rainfall within a season are affecting food production. Other effects include food price hikes and losses in poor farmers' incomes.

這份報告也指出在處於嚴重氣候變遷地區的飢餓人口數量將會變得越來越多。
氣溫的上升、雨季的異常時間以及不平均的降雨量分佈都會影響食物的生產，其他的影響也包含食物價格的攀升以及農夫收入的減少。
