Food security and climate change are closely connected. Climate change is affecting the way food is produced, distributed and accessed around the world. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, droughts, floods and other extreme weather events can reduce crop yields, threaten livestock, damage fisheries and make it harder for communities to access nutritious food. At the same time, the way food is produced can also contribute to climate change, making it important to find solutions that support both people and the planet.
