Climate Change Threatens Global Chocolate Supply and Millions of Jobs

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the global chocolate industry is in crisis, putting six million jobs at risk. Climate change-driven droughts and heavy rains have devastated cocoa crops for two consecutive years, pushing chocolate prices to record highs. Small-scale farmers, who receive only a fraction of industry profits, are particularly vulnerable. If production remains low, many could face severe financial hardship, highlighting yet another economic toll of climate change.
