Latest Review Series reveals USD 11 Trillion Bill in Food System’s Hidden Costs, a Significant Underestimation | GAIN
Latest Review Series reveals USD 11 Trillion Bill in Food System’s Hidden Costs, a Significant Underestimation • A partial USD 11 trillion bill: According to FAO’s latest estimates, food systems cost the world over USD 11 trillion per year in hidden health, socioeconomic, and environmental burdens – an amount larger than the GDP of most major economies. However, this figure likely represents a substantial underestimation of true costs and benefits as it does not capture all relevant negative and positive impacts. • Health costs are the largest contributor, but micronutrient malnutrition remains invisible: Diet-related diseases, premature mortality, and productivity losses from illness are the biggest drivers of these costs, yet we are still failing to measure the true price of micronutrient malnutrition. • The equity crisis: Existing research and data are heavily skewed toward high-income countries, leaving the severe burdens in low- and middle-income nations largely hidden.

In fragile and conflict-affected settings, reliable energy isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Decentralized renewable systems keep clinics open, water flowing, schools running, and local economies moving, even amid instability.

When clean energy brings peace and security by United Nations Development Programme - United Nations Development Programme | UNDP - Exposure
The impacts of climate change are being felt most acutely in places already grappling with conflict and instability. When climate shocks lead to challenges like water scarcity, disrupted livelihoods or damaged infrastructure, they deepen existing inequalities, strain relationships between communities, and weaken trust in institutions, creating conditions that can fuel disputes and tensions. It's estimated that 50 percent of the global population facing extreme poverty lives in countries with limited capacity to withstand or adapt to climate change. In these contexts, the challenge is not only to respond to crises as they unfold, but also to strengthen the systems that help people adapt, recover and rebuild. Many of them without access to energy.  Today, 685 million people live without electricity, the majority of them in regions already vulnerable to conflict. Over 2 billion don't have clean cooking fuels, relying on polluting alternatives that affect health, livelihoods and resilience.  In regions where climate impacts and insecurity intersect, clean energy empowers communities to recover and restore stability despite the threats posed by climate change.
