Please find the attached from my recent paper.
The evidence is now clear- all countries are in a state of committed global climate change food security and emergency.
UN departments must please make recommendations on this issue- to implement IPCC AR5 best case scenario RCP2.6 right away.
Above 1.0C all crops in all practically regions will be in decline, especially considering the several large adverse impacts which are not captured by the crop models.
Only by implementing RCP 2.6 which calls for missions to stop increasing right away and to find from 2020 quite rapidly, can we possibly avoid a global warming above the catastrophic 2.0° C policy,target.
Adaptation measures should be being implemented now, though it is unacceptable in every way to assume benefits in policy making. The best result in the best situations possible is a delay of committed crop declines for less than a decade. With the projected increase in extreme weather events and climate variation we certainly cannot expect adaptation to be successful.
