Brief 2 : Global impact of the war in Ukraine: Billions of people face the greatest cost-of-living crisis in a generation

Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy and Finance

The war in Ukraine has led to a cost-of-living crisis. An estimated 1.6 billion people are exposed to at least one dimension of the crisis. About 1.2 billion of them live in ‘perfect-storm’ countries severely vulnerable to all three dimensions – food, energy and finance.

The GCRG will help decision-makers to mobilize solutions and develop strategies to help countries address the interlinked crisis with food, energy and finance.
