A reduction in global temperatures due to increased climate awareness Decreased agricultural output resulting in higher food prices due to extreme weather conditions An increase in the use of renewable energy sources leading to lower energy prices Stabilization of commodity prices due to improved climate adaptation strategies Explanation: Climateflation occurs when increased frequency and severity of weather events, such as droughts and floods, negatively impact agricultural productivity, leading to higher food prices, thus placing additional financial pressure on vulnerable populations Your score is 0% Restart quiz
