Climate change threatens to exacerbate conflict in fragile nations across the globe and lead to increased deaths, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a report published Wednesday.

While climate shocks alone may not trigger new unrest, the Washington-based IMF said, they"significantly worsen conflict, compounding fragility" such as hunger, poverty and displacement.

Over 50 million more people in these countries could be driven into hunger by 2060 due to lower food production combined with higher prices, the IMF warned. The IMF said that by 2040, these nations could face 61 days a year of temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius on average -— four times more than other countries.
