The weather phenomenon is set to exacerbate droughts in some areas while increasing flooding in others, according to the (BBC).
Africa is likely to see the worst impacts with food shortages which are expected to peak in February.
Regions including the Caribbean, Central and South America will also be hit in the next six months.
The United Nations (UN) projected that at least 87 million people in dozens of countries will require humanitarian aid next year, and is seeking a record $20.1 billion to meet their needs.
