A recent study has linked extreme weather events driven by climate change to sharp increases in global food prices. Notably, Australian lettuce prices have surged by 300%, US vegetable prices have risen by 80%, and Spanish olive oil costs have increased by 15%. These price spikes are contributing to broader food inflation worldwide, with experts warning that the situation is expected to worsen as climate change impacts intensify.
