Easter eggs will be more expensive this year because of climate change. Extreme weather is making cocoa more difficult to grow. Cocoa beans are used to make chocolate. Most of the world's cocoa beans come from West Africa. Heatwaves and heavy rains have cut cocoa bean harvests. Reuters said cocoa prices have more than doubled in the past year. A climate analyst said cocoa farmers were, "struggling in the face of both extreme heat and rainfall".
People give chocolate eggs at Easter. This celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Chocolate eggs first appeared in France in 1725. In 1873, an English chocolate company made the first hollow chocolate egg. It was like the ones we can buy today. Wikipedia says: "In Western cultures, the giving of chocolate eggs is now commonplace." However, climate analysts say we need to cut fossil fuel emissions to have cocoa and chocolate.
