Climate Impacts on Food Security and Livelihoods in Asia
This report presents a summary of the latest available evidence of how climate change and food security interact, with specific examples from the Asia region.

Climate change interacts with the different drivers of food insecurity to create new risks (but it can also create opportunities) and can affect all dimensions of food security. This report presents a summary of the latest available evidence of how climate change and food security interact, with specific examples from the Asia region.
