What happened
The El Niño climate pattern is intensifying, fueled by Pacific Ocean temperatures that have surpassed historic measurements from 1997 and 2015. This pattern is raising the risk of drought, floods, and crop losses across major food-producing regions. In Papua New Guinea, water sources are drying up, crops are failing, and food prices are rising.
