The Impact of Climate Change on Zero Hunger in South Asia

Climate change has raised ample concerns about achieving zero hunger. The goal of the study is to investigate the link between climate change and eradicating hunger in Asian nations. The data span is from 2001 to 2020 from World Bank and KOF. The effect was investigated using the Pool Mean Grouped/Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model which shows that climate change, both in the short-run and long-run, hinders progress toward achieving zero hunger. The conclusion shows that in the long run, a rise in per capita income, globalization, and labor force participation boosts the progress towards achieving zero hunger but, in the short run, per capita income has a significant effect, and globalization and labor force participation have an insignificant effect on zero hunger. Finally, this study offers some recommendations to achieve zero hunger.
