Climate Change Threatens Global Banana Supply

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that climate change could devastate banana production, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean — areas responsible for 80% of global exports. By 2080, most of these regions may no longer be viable for cultivation. McIntyre compares the threat to recent crop losses in cocoa and coffee, highlighting the broader risks climate change poses to global food security and economic stability.
