Fasting is a key part of Ramadan, but for many Muslims, climate change is making food scarce all year
Published on 1st April, 2024.
By Nasya Bahfen - Senior Lecturer, Department of Media and Communication, La Trobe University
Every Ramadan, volunteers at Westall Mosque and OneSpace in Melbourne hold free weekly iftars (communal dinners to break the
fast in Ramadan). This year, volunteers say numbers are up.
To cut down on the resulting landfill, attendees are asked to bring their own reusable food containers and water bottles. In dedicated
bins, bottles and cans are collected and recycled under the state government’s container deposit scheme - adding A$12 to A$25 every
weekend to each mosque’s coffers, volunteers say.
Many of the attendees are international students from Indonesia or Malaysia. Living away from their families, paying high tuition fees,
and juggling precarious work with studies, they represent a segment of Australian society particularly hard hit by rising costs of living.
These include a jump in food prices stemming from global warming-induced crop failures.
This is a small example of a global problem. The way Muslims around the world experience Ramadan is changing because of climate
change, often for the worse.
Food insecurity all year round
Like members of Australia’s other Islamic communities, Melbourne Muslims of Indonesian background make up a privileged minority,
living in a prosperous, peaceful country.
Muslims in other parts of the world face exacerbated challenges. Several of the countries thought to be the most vulnerable to the
impacts of climate change are countries with Muslim majority populations (such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan). In the
Middle East and North Africa where Muslim majority countries abound, the World Food Program describes a “persistent food security
crisis”.
In this region devastated by conflict and climate change, the World Food Program says the practice of abstaining from food
(temporarily, as a religious tradition) has become an ongoing reality for millions throughout the year.
Food insecurity is made worse in the Middle East and North Africa by the aridity of the region, which contains 12 of the world’s driest
countries. These include Algeria, Bahrain, Qatar, the Palestinian Territories, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Yemen.
With forecast reductions in rainfall predicted to decimate the gross domestic product (GDP) of Middle Eastern countries, climate
change represents a critical threat to these countries.

UECE 2ª Fase 1º Dia 2024/1BBC celebrates 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare’s ‘First Folio’ with ambitious pan-BBC season
November marks 400 years since
arguably the greatest work of English literature
was created, the ‘First Folio’, published seven
years after the death of William Shakespeare
[5] and without which much of his work would
have been lost for future generations to enjoy
today.
The BBC is celebrating this
extraordinary anniversary with an ambitious
[10] season of content across TV, Radio, BBC iPlayer
& BBC Sounds exploring why, 400 years on,
Shakespeare's relevance and influence is as
strong as ever. A wealth of programming
featuring major actors and leading experts,
[15] including new documentaries, performance,
music, drama, comedy, news coverage and the
best of the BBC archive, as well as special items
on flagship BBC shows, will celebrate the man,
his world and his timeless writing.
[20] Suzy Klein, Head of BBC Arts and
Classical TV, says: “Shakespeare lived in a
dangerous age of plague, violence, vicious
rivalries and political assassinations and his
very survival is something of a miracle. His work
[25] was almost lost to history, and without the First
Folio being published in 1623, eighteen of his
greatest plays would have been lost forever.
We would have none of those immortal
characters such as Cleopatra and Marc
[30] Anthony, Macbeth or Malvolio, Prospero and
Ariel. Shakespeare changed the way we talk,
the words we use, our films, books,
catchphrases and memes, the very way we
think – and yet we know very little about him.
[35] This major new season pieces together the
clues from his life and work to reveal the
driving forces behind the glover's son from
Stratford upon Avon who became the greatest
writer that ever lived.”
[40] Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content
Officer, says: “The BBC has a rich history of
showcasing Shakespeare and bringing his works
alive to successive generations. The 400th
anniversary of the publication of the First Folio
[45] is an important opportunity to build on this
legacy with an ambitious array of programming
across the BBC celebrating the genius of our
greatest writer. With documentaries,
performance, music, drama, comedy and
[50] educational content as well as the very best of
the BBC’s extraordinary archive, this season
demonstrates our commitment to offering
audiences programming they wouldn’t find
anywhere else.”
[55] The centrepiece of the season is a
gripping three-part documentary series for BBC
Two and iPlayer, Shakespeare: Rise of a
Genius, featuring an A-list cast of actors,
including Dame Judi Dench, Dame Helen
[60] Mirren, Brian Cox, Adrian Lester, Lolita
Chakrabarti, Martin Freeman and Jessie
Buckley, alongside academics and writers James
Shapiro, Jeanette Winterson, Lucy Jago , Jeremy
O’Harris and Ewan Fernie - who provide fresh
[65] insights into the incredible story of our greatest
writer, the place and time he inhabited and the
work he produced. The series is made by 72
Films (a Fremantle company), the award-
winning producers of Rise of the Nazis,
[70] Elizabeth’s Secret Agents.
Contributing to the series, Dame Judi
Dench, says: “His understanding of everything,
of love, of anger, of jealousy, of rage,
melancholy – who did it better, who has ever
[75] done it better? I wish I’d met him, oh I wish I’d
met him.”
Accompanying the series, BBC Four
will feature a star-studded selection of archive
performances with specially filmed
[80] introductions from David Tennant on
Hamlet, Sir Richard Eyre on King
Lear, Dame Janet Suzman on Wars of the
Roses, Gregory Doran on the Shakespeare Gala
from the RSC, Russell T Davies on A
[85] Midsummer Night’s Dream, Dame Helen
Mirren on As You Like It, Hugh Quarshie on
Othello and Steven Berkoff on Hamlet at
Elsinore.
BBC Four will be showing a number of
[90] acclaimed performances of Shakespeare's
greatest plays including Hamlet from the Bristol
Old Vic featuring rising star Billy Howle in the
title role; Henry V from Shakespeare’s Globe
with Jamie Parker in the lead role; the
[95] RSC’s Henry VI Part 1 with Sir Antony Sher in
the role of Falstaff; and the RSC’s Much Ado
About Nothing.
On BBC Radio 4 – Dame Judi Dench,
one of Britain’s foremost Shakespearean actors
[100] will be John Wilson’s guest on This Cultural
Life. A special edition of Front Row: 1623
Review Show will see the panel and guests go
back in time to review the music, poems and
plays from the year that the First Folio was
[105] published. In addition, First Folio, a new semi
fictionalised comic drama tells the story of the
creation of the first book of Shakespeare’s
plays.
Radio 3 will dedicate a day exclusively
[110] to music inspired by Shakespeare, while Drama
on 3: The Hamlet Season will feature three
contemporary dramas based on Hamlet, the
Shakespearean play that has been put on the
most times around the world.
[115] In addition, BBC Teach will publish a
collated collection of resources for primary and
secondary schools to mark the anniversary,
including a new nine-part video animation of
Romeo and Juliet for primary schools.

The great global baby bust is under way
Across the world, birth rates are declining more rapidly than expected. That worries retired people and policymakers. In 2010, there were 98 nations and territories with fertility rates below 2.1 (known as the replacement rate) according to the United Nations. In 2021, that number had risen to 124, or more than half the countries for which data were available. The world’s 15 largest economies all have fertility rates below the replacement rate.
As the proportion of children declines, average ages rise, particularly as old people live longer (though the rise in longevity has slowed in recent years: in Britain lifespans are flatlining and in America they are falling). Some long-running demographic trends are changing, too. Educated women have for decades tended to have fewer children. Nevertheless, fertility among the less educated is now falling.
China, population aged 21-30
All of this poses a huge economic challenge. In parts of the world where birth rates were already low, the shortfall of young employees, who are needed to subsidise the retired, will be felt intensely. In China, the number of workers aged between 21 and 30 has already declined from 232 million in 2012, to 181 million in 2021. By the mid-2050s the United Nations forecasts there will be fewer than 100 million (see chart). China’s one-child — and later two-child — policy has contributed to the country’s decline in young workers. Recent history has shown that it is much more difficult to raise fertility levels than it is to crush them in the first place.
