Climate Risk and Adaptation in Global Food
Global food systems are facing the challenge of meeting growing demand driven by population, economic, and urbanisation growth in a world where the threat posed by climate risks and extreme weather hazards is increasingly significant.
This concern is exacerbated by the current trajectory of global warming indicating that the world is on track to reach a temperature increase of 2.5 degrees by 2050 at the rate of current policies and climate action. This means that stakeholders linked to global food systems will continue to experience increasing climate risks and extreme weather hazards in the decades to come.
The Sustainable Investment Institute commissioned the ‘Climate Risk & Adaptation in Global Food’ report to assist stakeholders in addressing this risk through raising awareness of the major climate change and extreme weather impacts on global food supply chains, outlining specific measures that can be taken to support food security, resilience, and commercial returns.
To this end, the report covers the following:
- What will be the major climate risks and extreme weather impacts on global food commodities over the decade?
- What mitigation and adaptation levers exist to tackle these impacts to support food system security, resilience, and commercial returns?
- What are the opportunities for investors to engage and support agricultural and food companies?
