The article warns that climate change threatens to triple wheat prices, one of the world's main crops. Scientists indicate this scenario could become reality if global temperatures rise 3°C above pre-industrial levels. This outcome is not dismissed by experts if significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are not achieved. Water scarcity will be the trigger for this sharp price increase, compromising agricultural production on a global scale. This situation would expose several billion people to hunger and various types of crises, worsening existing inequalities in access to global food.
