Executive Summary

Current Impacts

Climate change impacts are stressing agriculture, forestry, 
fisheries and aquaculture, increasingly hindering efforts to 
meet human needs (

high confidence

1

)

. Human-induced warming 

has slowed growth of agricultural productivity over the past 50 years 
in mid and low latitudes (

medium confidence

). Crop yields are 

compromised by surface ozone (

high confidence

). Methane emissions 

have negatively impacted crop yields by increasing temperatures 
and surface ozone concentrations (

medium confidence

). Warming is 

negatively affecting crop and grassland quality and harvest stability 
(

high

 co

nfidence

). Warmer and drier conditions have increased tree 

mortality and forest disturbances in many temperate and boreal 
biomes (

high confidence

), negatively impacting provisioning services 

(

medium confidence

). Ocean warming has decreased sustainable yields 

of some wild fish populations (

high confidence

). Ocean acidification 

and warming have already affected farmed aquatic species (

high

 

co

nfidence

). {5.2.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1, 5.6.1, 5.7.1, 5.8.1, 5.9.1}

Warming has altered the distribution, growing area suitability 
and timing of key biological events, such as flowering and 
insect emergence, impacting food quality and harvest stability

 

(high confidence)

. It is 

very likely

2

 that climate change is altering 

the distribution of cultivated, wild terrestrial, marine and freshwater 
species.  At higher latitudes, warming has expanded potential area 
but has also altered phenology (

high confidence

), potentially causing 

plant–pollinator and pest mismatches (

medium confidence

). At low 

latitude, temperatures have crossed upper tolerance thresholds, more 
frequently leading to heat stress (

high

 co

nfidence

). {5.4.1, 5.7.4, 5.8.1, 

Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter , 5.12.3.4}

Climate-related extremes have affected the productivity of all 
agricultural and fishery sectors, with negative consequences for 
food security and livelihoods (

high confidence

).

 The frequency 

of sudden food production losses has increased since at least mid-
20th century on land and sea (

medium evidence

,

 high agreement

). 

Droughts, floods and marine heatwaves contribute to reduced food 
availability and increased food prices, threatening food security, 
nutrition and livelihoods of millions (

high confidence

). Droughts 

induced by the 2015–2016 El Niño, partially attributable to human 
influences (

medium confidence

), caused acute food insecurity in 

various regions, including eastern and southern Africa and the dry 
corridor of Central America (

high confidence

). In the northeast Pacific, 

a recent 5-year warm period impacted the migration, distribution 
and abundance of key fish resources (

high confidence

). Increasing 

variability in grazing systems has negatively affected animal fertility, 
mortality and herd recovery rates, reducing livestock keepers’ resilience 

1 

In this Report, the following summary terms are used to describe the available evidence: limited, medium, or robust; and for the degree of agreement: low, medium, or high. A level of confidence is 
expressed using five qualifiers: very low, low, medium, high, and very high, and typeset in italics, e.g., 

medium confidence

. For a given evidence and agreement statement, different confidence levels 

can be assigned, but increasing levels of evidence and degrees of agreement are correlated with increasing confidence.

2 

In this Report, the following terms have been used to indicate the assessed likelihood of an outcome or a result: virtually certain 99–100% probability, very likely 90–100%, likely 66–100%, about as 
likely as not 33–66%, unlikely 0–33%, very unlikely 0–10%, and exceptionally unlikely 0–1%. Additional terms (extremely likely 95–100%, more likely than not >50–100%, and extremely unlikely 
0–5%) may also be used when appropriate. Assessed likelihood is typeset in italics, e.g., 

very likely

. This Report also uses the term ‘likely range’ to indicate that the assessed likelihood of an outcome 

lies within the 17–83% probability range.

Climate change impacts everybody, but vulnerable groups

, 

such as women, children, low-income households, Indigenous 
or other minority groups and small-scale producers, are often 
at higher risk of malnutrition, livelihood loss, rising costs 
and competition over resources (

high confidence

).

 Increasing 

competition for land, energy and water exacerbates impacts of climate 
change on food security (

high confidence

). {5.4.2.2, 5.5.2.6; 5.8.2.2, 

5.9.2.1, 5.12.2, 5.12.3.1; 5.12.3.2; 5.12.3.3; 5.13.1, 5.13.3, 5.13.4}

Projected Impacts

Climate change will make some current food production areas 
unsuitable (

high confidence

). 

Current global crop and livestock 

areas will increasingly become climatically unsuitable under a high-
emission scenario (

high confidence

) (e.g., 10% by 2050, over 30% 

by 2100 under SSP-8.5 versus below 8% by 2100 under SSP1-2.6). 
Increased, potentially concurrent climate extremes will periodically 
increase simultaneous losses in major food-producing regions 
(

medium confidence

). {5.2.2, 5.4.1, 5.4.3, 5.5.2, 5.5.3, Cross-Chapter 

Box MOVING PLATE in this chapter, Section 5.12.4; WGI Section 11.8}

Impacts on food availability and nutritional quality will increase 
the number of people at risk of hunger, malnutrition and diet-
related mortality (

high confidence

). 

Climate change will increase 

the number of people at risk of hunger in mid-century, concentrated in 
Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Central America (

high confidence

) 

(e.g., between 8 million under SSP1-6.0 and 80 million people under 
SSP3-6.0). Increased CO

2

 concentrations will reduce nutrient density of 

some crops (

high confidence

). Climate change will increase loss of years 

of full health

3

 by 10% in 2050 under Representative Concentration 

Pathway (RCP) 8.5 because of undernutrition and micronutrient 
deficiencies (

medium evidence

,

 high agreement

). {5.2.2, 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 

5.12.1.2, 5.12.4; Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter}

Climate change will increasingly expose outdoor workers and 
animals to heat stress, reducing labour capacity, animal health, 
and dairy and meat production

 (

high confidence

). The number of 

days with climatically stressful conditions for outdoor workers will 
increase by up to 250 workdays per year by century’s end in some parts 
of South Asia, tropical sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Central and 
South America under Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 5-8.5, with 
negative consequences such as reduced food productivity, higher costs 
and prices (

medium confidence

). From early- to end-century, cattle, 

sheep, goats, pigs and poultry in the low latitudes will face 72–136 
additional days per year of extreme stress from high heat and humidity

under SSP5-8.5. Meat and milk productivity will be reduced (

medium 

confidence

). {5.5.3.4; 5.12.4}

Climate change will further increase pressures on terrestrial 
ecosystem services supporting global food systems (

high

 

co

nfidence

). 

Climate change will reduce the effectiveness of pollinator 

agents as species are lost from certain areas, or the coordination of 
pollinator activity and flower receptiveness is disrupted in some regions 
(

high confidence

). Greenhouse-gas emissions will negatively impact air, 

soil and water quality, exacerbating direct climatic impacts on yields 
(

high

 co

nfidence)

.

 

{5.4.3, Box 5.3, Box 5.4, 5.5.3.4; 5.7.1, 5.7.4, 5.10.3}

Climate change will significantly alter aquatic food provisioning 
services and water security with regional variances (

high 

confidence

). 

Climate change will reduce marine fisheries and 

aquaculture productivity, altering the species that will be fished or 
cultured, and reducing aquaculture habitat in tropical and subtropical 
areas (

high confidence

). Global ocean animal biomass will decrease by 

5–17% under RCP2.6 and 8.5, respectively, from 1970 to 2100 with 
an average decline of 5% for every 1°C of warming, affecting food 
provisioning, revenue value and distribution (

medium confidence

). 

Global marine aquaculture will decline under warming and 
acidification from 2020 to 2100, with potential short-term gains for 
temperate finfish and overall negative impacts on bivalve aquaculture 
from habitat reduction (50–100% for some countries in the Northern 
Hemisphere) (

temperature and extreme climate events will affect food provisioning 
from inland and coastal aquatic systems (

level rise and altered precipitation will increase coastal inundation 
and water conflicts between water-dependent sectors, such as rice 
production, direct human use and hydropower (

The occurrence and distribution of pests, weeds and diseases, 
including zoonoses, in agricultural, forest and food systems

medium confidence

). 

Changes in

 

the rates of 

reproduction and distribution of weeds, insect pests, pathogens and 
disease vectors will increase biotic stress on crops, forests and livestock, 
and will increase the risk of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation 
(

Forest production systems will have variable responses to 
climate change across regions, with negative effects being more 
predominant in tropical forests (

high confidence

). 

In temperate and 

boreal regions, some productivity gains are projected, but tree mortality 
will increase in some areas (

in species composition and forest structure will lower production 

(medium confidence

wood supply and lowering of average wood prices, but they do not 
account for the negative impacts of extreme events and thus possibly 
overestimate the wood supply (

Climate change will negatively impact food safety (

high con-

Higher temperatures and humidity will favour toxigenic fungi, 

plant and animal-based pathogens, and harmful algal blooms (HABs) 
(

Adaptation

Many autonomous adaptation options have been implemented 
in both terrestrial and aquatic systems, but on-farm adaptations 
are insufficient to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 
(

high confidence

).

 Autonomous responses include livestock and farm 

management, switching varieties/species and altered timing of key 
farm activities such as planting or stocking (

high confidence

). However, 

because of limited adaptive capacities and non-climatic compounding 
drivers of food insecurity, SDG2 will not be met (

high confidence

). 

{Table 5.1, 5.4.4; 5.5.4, 5.9.4, 5.10.4; 5.12.4}

Various adaptation options are currently feasible and effective 
at reducing climate impacts in different socio-cultural, economic 
and geographical contexts (

high confidence

adequate economic or institutional feasibility or information on 
limits (

Feasible and effective options include 

cultivar improvements, community-based adaptation, agricultural 
diversification, climate services, adaptive eco-management in fisheries 
and aquaculture.

 

There is

Ecosystem-based approaches such as diversification, land 
restoration, agroecology and agroforestry have the potential 
to strengthen resilience to climate change with multiple co-

Ecosystem-based approaches support 

long-term productivity and ecosystem services such as pest control,

Bio-based products as part of a circular bioeconomy have potential

will reduce conflict and promote the fair distribution of sustainably

Implemented adaptation in crop production will be insufficient to 
offset the negative effects of climate change (

high confidence

). 

Currently available management options have the potential to 
compensate global crop production losses due to climate change up 
to ~2°C warming, but the negative impacts even with adaptation 
will grow substantially from the mid-century under high temperature 
change scenarios (

will prevail sooner where current temperatures are already higher as 
in lower latitudes (

Harnessing youth innovation and vision alongside other SDGs

 Adaptation strategies that address

Policy decisions related to climate change adaptation and 
mitigation that ignore or worsen risks of adverse effects 
for different groups and ecosystems increase vulnerability, 
negatively affect capacity to deal with climate impacts, and 
impede sustainable development (

medium confidence with 

robust evidence, medium agreement

)

.

 Lacking sufficient stakeholder 

participation, large-scale land acquisitions have had mostly negative 
implications for vulnerable groups and climate change adaptation (

high 

confidence

). Policy and programme appraisal of adaptation options 

that consider the risks of adverse effects across different groups at 

different scales and use inclusive rights-based approaches help avoid 
maladaptation (

medium confidence

). Successful forest adaptation 

involves recognition of land rights and cooperation with Indigenous 
Peoples and other local communities who depend on forest resources 
(

high confidence

). {5.6.3; 5.12.3, 5.13.1; 5.13.2; 5.14.2.1}

Financial barriers limit implementation of adaptation options in 
agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry, and vastly more 
public and private investment is required (

high confidence)

. 

Public-sector investment in adaptation of agriculture, forestry and 
fisheries has grown four-fold since 2010, but adaptation costs will be 
much higher to meet future adaptation needs (

Expanding access to financial services and pooling climate risks will 
enable and incentivise climate change adaptation (

Climate resilient development pathways offer a way forward to 
guide climate action in food system transitions, but operationa-

 Robust analyses are needed that detail plausible path-

ways to move towards more resilient, equitable and sustainable food 
systems in ways that are socially, economically and environmentally 
acceptable through time (high confidence). Appropriate monitoring and 
rapid feedback to food system actors will be critical to the success of 
many current and future adaptation actions (high confidence). {5.14.4}

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

5.1 Introduction

5.1.1 

Scope of the Chapter

This chapter assesses the scientific literature produced after the 
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment 
Report (AR5) dealing with past, current and future climate change 
effects on managed ecosystems that provide provisioning and cultural 
services. It spans low- and high-intensity production systems for food, 
feed, fibre and other ecosystem products.

Climate change has already had global impacts, including in high-
income countries. Special emphasis is placed on the assessment of 
vulnerabilities of particular groups that are context- and location-
specific, such as Indigenous Peoples and other minorities, women and 
small-scale food producers. The report builds on the IPCC AR5 and 
recent Special Reports. This chapter combines food systems, fibre, wood 
and other products from ecosystems previously detailed in separate 
chapters of AR5, with an increased focus on ecosystem services, 
including the long-term sustainability of the global food system 
(Figure 5.1). The chapter focuses on key climate risks, implementation 
and outcomes of adaptation solutions for different groups as well as 
limits to adaptation.

5.1.2 

Starting Point: AR5 and Recent IPCC Special Reports

AR5 Chapter 7 (Porter et  al., 2014) reported with 

high confidence

 

that food production systems were being negatively impacted by 
climate change, including both terrestrial and aquatic food species 
(Porter et al., 2014). Increased temperatures will have large negative 
impacts on the food production system under 2°C warming by late 
20th century, with temperatures exceeding 4°C posing even greater 
risk to global food security (Porter et al., 2014). Adaptation options are 
needed to reduce the risk from climate change, but there was limited 
information of their effectiveness.

The 1.5°C Special Report concluded that climate-related risks to food 
security will rise under 1.5°C and will increase further under 2°C 
or higher. Above 1.5°C, currently available adaptation options will 
be much less effective and site-specific limits to adaptation will be 
reached for vulnerable regions and sectors. There was 

high confidence

 

that limiting warming to 1.5°C will result in smaller net reductions in 
yields of major crops affecting food availability and nutrition, and that 
rising temperatures will adversely affect livestock via changes in feed 
quality, fertility, production, spread of diseases and water availability.

The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL) expanded 
beyond the 1.5°C report to provide more in-depth information on 
climate change interactions with food security, desertification and 
degradation. There was 

high confidence

 that climate risks, both for 

slow changes and extreme events, are interlinked with ecosystem 
services, health and food security, often cascading and potentially 
reinforcing effects. Climate change already affects all dimensions of 
food security, namely availability, access, utilisation and stability, by 
disrupting food production, quality, storage, transport and retail. These 
effects exacerbate competition for land and water resources, leading 

to increased deforestation, biodiversity reduction and loss of wetlands. 
With 

high certainty

, limiting global warming would lower future 

risks related to land, such as water scarcity, fire, vegetation shifts, 
degradation, desertification and food insecurity and malnutrition, 
particularly for those most vulnerable today: small-scale food 
producers in low-income countries, Indigenous communities, women, 
and the urban poor. SRCCL assessed a range of adaptation pathways 
to increase food resilience.

The IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing 
Climate (SROCC) identified climate change impacts of warming, 
deoxygenation and acidification of the ocean and reductions in snow, 
sea ice and glaciers as having major negative impacts on fisheries and 
crops watered from mountain runoff and agriculture. These impacts 
affect food provisioning of food and directly threaten livelihoods and 
food security of vulnerable coastal communities and glacier-fed river 
basins. Climate change impacts on fisheries will be particularly high in 
tropical regions, where reductions in catch are expected to be among 
the largest globally, leading to negative economic and social effects 
for fishing communities and with implications for the supply of fish 
and shellfish (

high confidence

). While specific impacts will depend on 

the level of global warming and mitigative action to improve fisheries 
and aquaculture management, some current management practices 
and extraction levels may not be viable in the future.

5.1.3 

Chapter Framework

This chapter is taking a food systems approach similar to the food 
security chapter in SRCCL (Mbow et al., 2019), with close attention to 
food system linkages, interactions and impacts on ecosystem services 
and biodiversity (Steffen et al., 2015; Raworth, 2017; Gerten et al., 2020). 

Food security

 is defined as “a situation that exists when all people, at 

all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe 
and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences 
for an active and healthy life” (FAO, 2020). Food insecurity is often 
experienced as chronic hunger reported in the annual UN Food Security 
and Nutrition in the World (FAO, 2020), when a person is unable to 
consume enough food over an extended period. The chapter gives special 
attention to climate change impacts on acute food insecurity, which can 
occur at any time with a severity that threatens lives, livelihoods or both, 
regardless of the causes, context or duration, as a result of shocks risking 
determinants of food security and nutrition, and used to assess the need 
for humanitarian action (IPC Global Partners, 2019).

Climate change directly affects food systems, and the impacts on 
terrestrial or aquatic food production will become increasingly negative, 
although regionally some changes may be beneficial in the near future 
(Porter et al., 2014). Current food system trajectories are leading to 
biodiversity loss and land and aquatic ecosystem degradation without 
delivering food security, nutrition, and sustainable and healthy 
livelihoods to many (Steffen et al., 2015). Addressing climate change 
in isolation ignores these interconnections, which is why the chapter 
considers integrated adaptation solutions to allow humanity to thrive 
in the long term. At the same time, social foundations of equality, 
justice and political participation are crucial in order to move towards 
a safe operating space for humanity (Raworth, 2017). The SDGs

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products  

Chapter 5

provide the most comprehensive set of metrics of humanity’s progress 
in achieving equitable and thriving socio-ecological systems. Therefore, 
while the focus of this chapter is climate change impacts, vulnerability 
and adaptation of food systems, feed, fibre and other ecosystem 
products, other environmental and social challenges are considered 
concomitantly.

Food system and natural systems interact via political, economic, 
social, cultural and demographic factors in complex ways, leading 
to food security and sustainability outcomes. The food system has a 
supply (production) and demand (consumption) side, connected via 
processing, trade and retail, with loss and waste streams all along the 
food chain. Natural ecosystems provide multiple services (regulating, 

supporting, provisioning, cultural) to the food system. Food security 
and nutrition strongly depend on the driving forces connecting food 
and natural systems while at the same time positively or negatively 
influencing them. Climate change frequently exacerbates the effects of 
other drivers of change, further limiting the environment within which 
humanity can safely operate and thrive. The chapter assesses how 
climate change affects the four pillars of food security and nutrition 
and how these effects can be mediated by various factors, including our 
adaptation responses, social equity, underlying ecosystem services and 
governance (Figure 5.1). Adaptation solutions are a major emphasis 
of this chapter, including many ecosystem-based adaptation options 
(Table  5.1), which fall under the broader umbrella of nature-based 
solutions (Seddon et al., 2020).

Chapter 5

Ecosystem-based adaptation, defined as the ‘use of ecosystem 
management activities to increase the resilience and reduce the 
vulnerability of people and ecosystems to climate change’ (Campbell 
et al., 2009), has at its core the recognition that there are unexploited 
synergies in agricultural systems that can increase productivity and 
resilience. These can result from increasing biodiversity, adding organic 
matter to soils, integrating livestock and aquatic species, including 
aquaculture, into farming practices, broadening landscape practices to 
exploit crop–forestry synergies, supporting beneficial insect populations 
and altering pest management practices that have unintended negative 
consequences. In addition, the chapter considers socioeconomic 
strategies to build resilience in the food system, strengthening local 

and regional economies, building on Indigenous and local knowledge, 
and addressing social inequity, through inclusive, participatory and 
democratic governance of food systems (HLPE, 2019; Wezel et al., 2020).

climate model outputs tailored for impact attribution (Iizumi et  al., 
2018; Moore, 2020; Ortiz-Bobea et al., 2021).

Climate change has caused regionally different, but mostly negative, 
impacts on crop yields and quality and marketability of products (

high 

confidence

) (see Section 5.4.1 for observed impacts). There is 

medium 

evidence 

and

 high agreement

 that the effects of human-induced 

climate warming since the pre-industrial era has had significantly 
negative effects on global crop production, acting as a drag on the 
growth of agricultural production (Iizumi et  al., 2018; Moore, 2020; 
Ortiz-Bobea et al., 2021). One global study using an empirical model 
estimated the negative effect of anthropogenic warming trends from 
1961 to 2017 to be on average 5.3% for three staple crops (5.9% 
for maize, 4.9% for wheat and 4.2% for rice) (Moore, 2020). Another 
study using a process-based crop model found a yield loss of 4.1% 
(0.5–8.4%) for maize and 4.5% (0.5–8.4%) for soybean between 
1981 and 2010 relative to the non-warming condition, even with 
CO

2

 fertilisation effects (Iizumi et al., 2018). Human-induced warming 

trends since 1961 have also slowed down the growth of agricultural 
total factor productivity by 21% (Ortiz-Bobea et al., 2021). Regionally, 
heat and rainfall extremes intensified by human-induced warming in 
West Africa have reduced millet and sorghum yields by 10–20%, and 
5–15%, respectively (Sultan et al., 2019).

Methane emissions significantly impact crop yields by increasing 
temperatures as a greenhouse gas (GHG) and surface ozone 
concentrations as a precursor (

medium confidence

) (Shindell, 2016; 

Van Dingenen, 2018; Shindell et al., 2019). Shindell (2016) estimated a 
net yield loss of 9.5±3.0% for four major crops due to anthropogenic 
emissions (1850–2010), after incorporation of the positive effect of 
CO

2

 (6.5±1.0%) and the negative effects of warming (10.9±3.2%) and 

tropospheric ozone elevation (5.0±1.5%). Although these estimates 
were not linked with historical yield changes, more than half of the 
estimated yield loss is attributable to increasing temperature and 
ozone concentrations from methane emissions, suggesting the 
importance of methane mitigation in alleviating yield losses (

medium 

confidence

) (Section 5.4.1.4).

Climate change is already affecting livestock production (

high 

confidence)

 (Section 5.5.1). The effects include direct impacts of heat 

stress on mortality and productivity, and indirect impacts have been 
observed on grassland quality, shifts in species distribution and range 
changes in livestock diseases (Sections 5.5.1.1–5.5.1.3). Quantitative 
assessment of observed impacts is still limited.

In aquatic systems, more evidence has accumulated since AR5 on 
warming-induced shifts (mainly poleward) of species (

high confidence

) 

(Section  5.8.1, Cross-Chapter Box  MOVING PLATE this chapter), 
causing significant challenges for resource allocation between 
different countries and fishing fleets. Quantitative assessments of 
climate change impacts on production are still limited, but Free et al. 
(2019) estimated a 4.1% global loss of the maximum sustainable yield 
of several marine fish populations from 1930 to 2010 due to climate 
change. The effects of climate change on aquaculture are apparent 
but diverse, depending on the types and species of aquaculture (

high 

confidence

) (Section  5.9.1). Temperature increases, acidification, salt 

intrusion, oxygen deficiency, floods and droughts have negatively 

impacted production via reduced growing suitability, mortalities or 
damages to infrastructure (Section 5.9.1).

The impacts of climate change on food provisioning have cascading 
effects on key elements of food security, such as food prices, 
household income, food safety and nutrition of vulnerable groups 
(Peri, 2017; Ubilava, 2018; 5.11, 5.12). Climate extreme events are 
frequently causing acute food insecurity (Section 5.12.3, FSIN, 2021). 
There is growing evidence that human-induced climate warming 
has amplified climate extreme events (Seneviratne et al., 2021), but 
detection and attribution of food insecurity to anthropogenic climate 
change is still limited by a lack of long-term data and complexity of 
food systems (Phalkey et al., 2015; Cooper et al., 2019). A recent event 
attribution study by Funk (2018) demonstrated that anthropogenic 
enhancement of the 2015/2016 El Niño increased drought-induced 
crop production losses in Southern Africa. Human-induced warming 
also exacerbated the 2007 drought in southern Africa, causing 
food shortages, price spikes and acute food insecurity in Lesotho 
(Verschuur et al., 2021).

5.2.2 

Key Risks

Key risks in this chapter are grouped into those related to food 
security, food safety and dietary health, livelihoods of people in 
related sectors and ecosystem services (Table  16.9). Determining 
when a risk is considered severe is challenging to quantify because 
of the complexity of the food system, uncertainty about the effects 
and ethical challenges.

Current levels of food insecurity are already high in some parts of 
the world, and often exacerbated by short-term food shortages and 
price spikes caused by weather extremes partly linked to climate 
change (Sections 5.2.1, 5.12.3, 16.5.2). Climate change will increase 
malnourished populations through direct impacts on food production 
and have cascading impacts on food prices and household incomes, 
all of which will reduce access to safe and nutritious food (

high 

confidence)

 (Figure 5.2, 5.12).

Extreme climate events will become more frequent and force some of 
the current food production areas beyond the safe climatic space for 
production (

high confidence

) (Sections 5.4.3, 5.5.2). Globally, 10% of 

the currently suitable area for major crops and livestock is projected 
to be climatically unsuitable in mid-century and 31–34% by the end 
of the century under SSP5-8.5 (Kummu et al., 2021). Adverse effects 
of climate change on food production will become more severe when 
global temperatures rise by more than 2°C (Sections 5.4.4.1, 5.12.4.1). 
One study estimated that the heat stress from projected 3°C warming 
above baseline (1986–2005) would reduce labour capacity by 30–50% 
in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, leading to a 5% increase 
in crop prices because of higher labour cost and production losses, 
thereby undermining food availability, access and livelihood (de Lima 
et  al., 2021). Thiault et  al. (2019) projected that, by 2100, climate 
change under RCP8.5 could have negative impacts on both agriculture 
and marine fisheries productivity in countries where 90% of the world 
population live. A global analysis of shellfish aquaculture estimated 
that habitat suitability will decline beyond 2060 globally, but much 
sooner in some Asian countries (Stewart-Sinclair et al., 2020; 5.9.1). 
These negative effects in the second half of the century will be much 
less under RCP2.6.

Climate change impacts will increase the number of people at risk of 
hunger, in 2050 ranging from 8 million people under SSP1 to 80 million 
people under SSP3 scenarios (RCP6.0), compared with a world with no 
climate change (Mbow et al., 2019). Estimates also vary depending on 
the adaptation and mitigation assumptions (Hasegawa et  al., 2018; 
Janssens et al., 2020). Geographically, nearly 80% of the population at 
risk of hunger are projected to reside in Africa and Asia (Nelson et al., 
2018). Projections of risk of hunger beyond 2050 are limited, but it will 
grow from the mid-century towards the end of the century, with more 
people at risk under RCP8.5 compared with RCP4.5 (Richardson et al., 
2018). Regional disparity is projected to increase, particularly under a 
high-emission scenario.

Climate change will increase the costs and management challenges 
of providing safe food. The safety challenges arise from contamination 
caused by increased prevalence of pathogens, HAB and toxic inorganic 
bioaccumulation (

high confidence

) (Sections  5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.12). 

Micronutrient deficiency is prevalent across many regions and will 
continue to be a problem at least during the first half of the century 
(Nelson et al., 2018), with significant implications for human health 
(Section 5.12.4).

Food security and healthy balanced diets will also be undermined 
by reduced livelihoods and health of people in agriculture and food-
related sectors (Sections  5.12.3, 5.12.4), diminished ecosystem 
services provided by pollinators, the soil biome (Section  5.4.3) and 
water systems, and climate-mitigation related policies that solely focus 
on reducing GHG emissions without considering their potential to 
increase competition with food production for scarce land and water 
(Section 5.13.3).

5.3 

Methodologies and Associated 

Uncertainties

Chapter text draws on previous IPCC reports, other reports (i.e., High 
Level Panel of Experts (HLPE), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 
and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and 
Ecosystem Services (IPBES)), and literature published since 2014. This 
section highlights key trends in research topics and methods since AR5.

5.3.1 

Methodologies for Assessing Impacts and Risks

Since AR5, there are more examples of observed impacts from past 
climate change in cropping systems (Section 5.4.1), pastoral systems 
(Section  5.5.1), forests (Section  5.6.1), fisheries (Section  5.8.1) and 
mixed farming systems (Section 5.10.1). These assessments of observed 
impacts make use of historical data on climate, production area and 
yield to attribute the role of climate in driving changes in suitability, 
production, yield, food quality or total factor productivity (Ortiz-Bobea 
et al., 2021). Observations across the global food systems have been 
analysed (Cottrell et al., 2019), with the advantage that unexpected 
impacts due to changes in seasonality and biotic interactions can be 
detected. Quantitative analysis is only possible in places with adequate 
historical data; in many cases, studies rely on qualitative assessments, 
often drawing on farmers’ perceptions of climate impacts.

Projecting future climate impacts relies on modelling that combines 
climate data with data from experimental studies testing how species 
respond to each climate factor. In cropping and forest systems, a 
network of experimental studies with plants exposed to elevated CO

2

 

concentrations, ozone and elevated temperature provides data on the 
fundamental responses to climate and atmospheric conditions (i.e., 
free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) and temperature free-air 
controlled enhancement (T-FACE) systems). FACE results have been 
combined and assessed more extensively since AR5 (Bishop et  al., 
2014; Haworth et al., 2016; Kimball, 2016; Ainsworth and Long, 2021). 
Field-based FACE studies have several advantages over more enclosed 
testing chambers, although results from more controlled experiments 
and coordination between different methods continue to give new 
insights into crop responses to climate change and variability (Drag 
et al., 2020; Ainsworth and Long, 2021; Sun et al., 2021). Experimental 
results have limitations and can be difficult to scale up (Porter

Chapter 5 

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

et  al., 2014; Haworth et  al., 2016), but generally the conclusions 
follow known plant responses (Lemonnier and Ainsworth, 2018). As 
highlighted in AR5, there is a scarcity of FACE infrastructure in the 
tropics and subtropics (Leakey et al., 2012; Lemonnier and Ainsworth, 
2018; Toreti et al., 2020). One area that has been investigated further 
is the negative impact of elevated CO

2

 on crop nutritional value, 

which has important implications for human nutrition (Scheelbeek 
et al., 2018; Smith and Myers, 2018; Toreti et al., 2020; Ainsworth and 
Long, 2021). Increasingly, experimental studies seek to examine the 

interaction between climatic factors such as temperature, drought and 
ozone, or the responses of understudied food systems, crop species, 
cultivars and management interventions (Kimball, 2016; Ainsworth 
and Long, 2021). The use of experimental data to improve projections 
has also expanded in other systems. There has been an increased 
focus on the impact of warming on livestock health and productivity 
(5.5.3)

.

 

Aquatic system studies have incorporated projected impacts 

on physiology, distribution, phenology and productivity (5.8.3).

Chapter 5

Modelling approaches differ widely and serve different purposes 
(Table 5.2; Porter et al., 2014; Jones, 2017a). The use of process-based and 
statistical modelling alongside remote sensing and other spatial data 
has grown. Projections increasingly draw on a combination of modelling 
approaches and coordinated efforts for model intercomparisons and 
ensemble techniques, using standardised emission scenarios (RCPs). 
For major crops, models of global yield impacts from CO

2

 concentration, 

air temperature and precipitation have been refined and compared 
(Challinor et al., 2014; Iizumi et al., 2017; Ruane et al., 2017; Zhao et al., 
2017; Rojas et al., 2019). Despite advances since AR5, modelling is still 
constrained by limited data from field experiments (Ruane et al., 2017). 
Increasingly, studies attempt to incorporate effects of elevated CO

2

, 

ozone and climate extremes (Barlow et al., 2015; Schauberger et al., 
2019a; Vogel et  al., 2019), as well as attempts to incorporate more 
complex interactions with soil and crop management (Basso et  al., 
2018; Smith et al., 2020b). However, only a few models consider crop 
protein content and other quality factors (Nuttall et al., 2017; Asseng 
et al., 2019). Some models take account of the impacts of climate on 
the timing of key biological events (phenology) in the target species; 
however, incorporating biotic interactions with pests, pathogens and 
pollinators remains a challenge (Table 5.2; Sections 5.4.1, 5.4.3).

In addition to productivity projections, research also draws on climate 
suitability estimates (Table  5.2). These compare the known climate 
suitability of species and habitats with projected climate conditions 
across different locations. Such projections are useful especially for 
incorporating movement of pests and pathogens but cannot be applied 
in isolation if non-climate constraints are not considered. As different 
research groups use different assumptions and data inputs, more 
coordination is needed if suitability projections are to be compared 
globally (SM5.3).

Increasingly, projections look across different disciplines and across 
multiple components of the food system, including livestock, fisheries 
and mixed farming systems (Campbell et al., 2016; Mbow et al., 2019). 
Major timber species have been modelled, with projected impacts 
on productivity, duration of rotation and distribution (i.e., climate 
suitability) (Albert et  al., 2018). Livestock systems are influenced 
by plant productivity projections via their feedstock, for example, 
rangeland cattle impacted by changes in net primary production 
(NPP) (Boone et al., 2018). Direct climate impacts on animals are also 
projected, using indices based on direct observations (Section 5.5.3). 
Since AR5, Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison 
Project (Fish-MIP) has allowed for global intercomparisons and 
ensemble projections of marine fisheries, and projections capturing 
interactions from multiple food systems (e.g., Inter-Sectoral Impact 
Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP); Sections 5.8, 5.10).

Global simulations have uncovered important differences between 
regions (Deryng et al., 2016; Blanchard et al., 2017). Efforts to coordinate 
and combine regional and global modelling studies allow for greater 
insight into regional differences in climate change impacts, such as 
the Coordinated Global and Regional Assessments (CGRA) performed 
by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project 
(AgMIP) (Blanchard et al., 2017; Müller et al., 2017; Rosenzweig et al., 
2018; Ruane et al., 2018; Lotze et al., 2019). Increasingly, multi-model 
intercomparisons are used to evaluate global gridded crop models’ 

performance and sensitivity to temperature, water, nitrogen and CO

2

 

within AgMIP, with the focus mostly on major annual crops (Valdivia 
et al., 2015; Ruane et al., 2017; Müller et al., 2021a). Differences in 
model type, structures and input data can result in large variation in 
projections, particularly for the response of crops to elevated CO

2

 and 

temperature (5.4.3.1); methods for quantifying and minimising this 
uncertainty have been developed, but improvement is still needed ( 
Asseng et al., 2015; Li et al., 2015; Zhao et al., 2017; Folberth et al., 
2019; Tao et al., 2020; Müller et al., 2021a; Ruane et al., 2021). The 
use of multi-model intercomparisons has widened the range of 
uncertainties but has increased the robustness of impact assessments 
(Asseng et al., 2013; Challinor et al., 2014; Zhao et al., 2017). Model 
outputs are strongly influenced by decisions over which factors to 
include; for example, including drought impacts can result in positive 
yield projections switching to neutral or negative values (Gray et al., 
2016; Jin et  al., 2018). Models are also limited in their ability to 
incorporate socioeconomic drivers and extreme events (Porter et al., 
2014; Campbell et al., 2016; Ruane et al., 2017; Jagermeyr and Frieler, 
2018; Webber et al., 2018; Schewe et al., 2019).

For long-term projections and integrated assessments, a large 
component of uncertainty remains in the ability to represent 
socioeconomic responses to climate change and the degree to which 
these will mitigate or exacerbate climatic changes (Valdivia et al., 2015; 
Prestele et al., 2016; Arneth et al., 2019). This includes the potential 
adaptation responses of food producers. Models that incorporate 
alternative socioeconomic responses offer one solution (e.g., AgMIP) 
(Nelson et  al., 2014; Von Lampe et  al., 2014; Wiebe et  al., 2015; 
Rosenzweig et al., 2018; van Zeist et al., 2020). Another approach is 
the use of solution-oriented scenarios to compare the effectiveness 
of adaptation options (Le Mouël and Forslund, 2017; Arneth et  al., 
2019), or to quantify the time period in which adaptation responses 
will become essential (Challinor et al., 2016; Rojas et al., 2019). Others 
point to the necessity of managing food systems within the context of 
uncertainty (Campbell et al., 2016).

5.3.2 

Methodologies for Assessing Vulnerabilities and 
Adaptation

Methods for monitoring vulnerability and adaptation are under-
researched but have increased since AR5. Increasingly, projections 
move from individual crops to assessing risks across the food systems 
and the relative vulnerability of different systems (Campbell et  al., 
2016; Gil et  al., 2017; Lipper et  al., 2017; Richardson et  al., 2018). 
Adaptation options can be considered as parameters in integrated 
models, such as those used in ISI-MIP, while others use systematic 
assessments of case studies, such as the application of agent-based 
household models to assessments of adaptation in livestock systems 
(Section 5.5.4). Quantitative studies are less common than qualitative 
assessments, and there is a need to combine modelling and qualitative 
approaches more effectively (Beveridge et al., 2018a; Vermeulen et al., 
2018).

The food system is dynamic, with changes in management practices 
driven by many factors, including climate adaptation (Iizumi, 2019; 
Iizumi et al., 2021a). Adaptation potential, such as expected advances

in crop breeding, are often not explicitly accounted for in modelling 
studies, but more recent studies do quantify the potential for 
adaptation (Iizumi et al., 2017; Tao et al., 2017; Aggarwal et al., 2019; 
Minoli et al., 2019). To account for this complexity, case studies rely on 
data derived from the perception and practices of stakeholders who 
are engaged in adaptation (usually autonomous adaptation) (Hussain 
et al., 2016; Lipper et al., 2017; Ankrah, 2018; Sousa-Silva et al., 2018). 
Case studies use a range of different indicators to monitor climate 
response options, making quantitative comparisons more difficult (Gil 
et al., 2017; Vermeulen et al., 2018). However, systematic comparisons 
have provided valuable insights (Descheemaeker et al., 2018; Shaffril 
et al., 2018; Aggarwal et al., 2019; Bene et al., 2019); for example, the 
sustainable livelihood framework has been applied widely to diverse 
aquatic systems (Bueno and Soto, 2017; Barange and Cochrane, 2018) 
and the Livelihood Vulnerability Index is well used across systems 
(Section  5.14). Coordinated efforts such as the AgMIP also provide 
systematic assessments (Blanchard et al., 2017; Lipper et al., 2017; 
Antle et  al., 2018). Nonetheless, the full effectiveness of different 
adaptation options is difficult to assess given that many impacts 
have not yet occurred (due to the cumulative nature of impacts and 
the inertia in the climate system) (Stocker et al., 2013; Zickfeld et al., 
2013).

Transformation of the food system that addresses all dimensions 
of ecosystem services is discussed in this chapter, including risk 
management and the communication of uncertainties (Section 5.14). 
The focus is on flexible approaches to risk and uncertainty, assessing 
trends, drivers and trade-offs under different future scenarios (Campbell 
et al., 2016).

Crop-Based Systems

Crops such as cereals, vegetables, fruit, roots, tubers, oilseeds and 
sugar account for about 80% of the dietary energy supply (FAO, 
2019 f). Crops are a significant source of food and income for about 
600 million farms in the world, 90% of which are family farms (Lowder 
et al., 2019). Previous assessment reports focused on yields of staple 
crops such as maize, wheat and rice, but studies are emerging on 
climate change impacts on other crops.

5.4.1 

Observed Impacts

5.4.1.1  Observed impacts on major crops

AR5 Chapter 7 (Porter et al., 2014) stated with confidence that warmer 
temperatures have benefited agriculture in the high latitudes, and 
more evidence has been published to support this statement. Typical 
examples include pole-ward expansion of growing areas and reduction 
of cold stress in East Asia and North America (Table SM5.1).

Recent warming trends have generally shortened the life cycle of major 
crops (

high confidence

) (Zhang et al., 2014; Shen and Liu, 2015; Ahmed 

et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2018c; Tan et al., 2021). Some studies, however, 
observed prolonged crop growth duration despite the warming trends 
(Mueller et al., 2015; Tao et al., 2016; Butler et al., 2018; Zhu et al., 2018b) 

because of shifts in planting dates and/or adoption of longer-duration 
cultivars in mid-to-high latitudes. Conversely, in mid-to-low latitudes in 
Asia, a review study found that farmers favoured early maturing cultivars 
to reduce risks of damages due to drought, flood and/or heat (Shaffril 
et  al., 2018), suggesting that region-specific adaptations are already 
occurring in different parts of the world (

high confidence

).

Global yields of major crops per unit land area have increased 2.5- to 
3-fold since 1960. Plant breeding, fertilisation, irrigation and integrated 
pest management have been the major drivers, but many studies have 
found significant impacts from recent climate trends on crop yield (

high 

confidence

) (Figure 5.3; see Section 5.2.1 for the change attributable to 

anthropogenic climate change).

Climate impacts for the past 20–50 years differ by crops and regions. 
Positive effects have been identified for rice and wheat in Eastern Asia, 
and for wheat in Northern Europe. The effects are mostly negative 
in Sub-Saharan Africa, South America and Caribbean, Southern Asia, 
and Western and Southern Europe. Climate factors that affected long-
term yield trends also differ between regions. For example, in Western 
Africa, 1°C warming above preindustrial climate has increased heat 
and rainfall extremes, and reduced yields by 10–20% for millet and 
5–15% for sorghum (Sultan et al., 2019). In Australia, declined rainfall 
and increased temperatures reduced yield potential of wheat by 
27%, accounting for the low yield growth between 1990 and 2015 
(Hochman et  al., 2017). In Southern Europe, climate warming has 
negatively impacted yields of almost all major crops, leading to recent 
yield stagnation (Moore and Lobell, 2015; Agnolucci and De Lipsis, 
2020; Brás et al., 2021).

Ortiz-Bobea et al. (2021) analysed agricultural total factor productivity 
(TFP), defined as the ratio of all agricultural outputs to all agricultural 
inputs, and found that, while TFP has increased between 1961 and 2015, 
the climate change trends reduced global TFP growth by a cumulative 
21% over a 55-year period relative to TFP growth under counterfactual 
non-climate change conditions. Greater effects (30–33%) were 
observed in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (Figure 5.3).

Climate variability is a major source of variation in crop production 
(Ray et  al., 2015; Iizumi and Ramankutty, 2016; Frieler et  al., 2017; 
Cottrell et al., 2019)(Table SM5.1). Weather signals in yield variability 
are generally stronger in productive regions than in the less productive 
regions (Frieler et al., 2017), where other yield constraints exist such 
as pests, diseases and poor soil fertility (Mills et  al., 2018; 5.2.2). 
Nevertheless, yield variability in less productive regions has severe 
impacts on local food availability and livelihood (

high confidence

) 

(FAO, 2021).

Climate-related hazards that cause crop losses are increasing (

medium 

evidence

,

 high agreement

) (Cottrell et al., 2019; Mbow et al., 2019; 

Brás et al., 2021; FAO, 2021; Ranasinghe et al., 2021). Drought-related 
yield losses have occurred in about 75% of the global harvested area 
(Kim et al., 2019b) and increased in recent years (Lesk et al., 2016). 
Heatwaves have reduced yields of wheat (Zampieri et al., 2017) and 
rice (Liu et  al., 2019b)

. 

The combined effects of heat and drought 

decreased global average yields of maize, soybeans and wheat by 
11.6%, 12.4% and 9.2%, respectively (Matiu et al., 2017). In Europe,

crop losses due to drought and heat have tripled over the last five 
decades (Brás et al., 2021), pointing to the importance of assessing 
multiple stresses. Globally, floods also increased in the past 50 years, 
causing direct damages to crops and indirectly reduced yields by 
delaying planting, which cost 4.5  billion USD in the 2010 flood in 
Pakistan and 572  million USD in the 2015 flood in Myanmar (FAO, 
2021).

5.4.1.2  Observed impacts on other crops (vegetables, fruit, nut 

and fibre)

The impact of climate change on these diverse crop types is under-
researched and uncertain (Manners and van Etten, 2018; Alae-Carew 
et al., 2020); there are reports of positive impacts in some cases, but 
overall the observed impacts are negative across all crop categories 
(Figure 5.3).

Above-ground annual crops consumed as vegetables, fruits or salad are 
essential for food security and nutrition (5.12). In temperate regions, 
climate change can result in higher yields (Potopová et al., 2017; Bisbis 
et  al., 2018), while in subtropical/tropical regions, negative impacts 
from heat and drought take precedence (Scheelbeek et  al., 2018). 
Different species have different sensitivities to heat and drought 
(Prasad et  al., 2017; Scheelbeek et  al., 2018) and to combinations 
of stresses (Zandalinas et  al., 2018). Above-ground vegetables are 
especially vulnerable to heat and drought stress during pollination and 

fruit set, resulting in negitive impacts on yield (Daryanto et al., 2017; 
Sita et al., 2017; Brás et al., 2021) and harvest quality (Mattos et al., 
2014; Bisbis et al., 2018). Growers have already seen negative impacts 
from the expansion of pest and disease agents due to warming 
(Section 5.4.1.3; Figure 5.3).

Below-ground vegetables include starchy roots and tubers that form a 
regular diet in many parts of the tropics and subtropics. Warming and 
climate variability has altered the rate of tuber development, with yield 
impacts varying by location, including yield increases in some cases 
(Shimoda et  al., 2018; Ray et  al., 2019). These crops are considered 
stress tolerant but are more sensitive to drought than cereals (Daryanto 
et  al., 2017). Impacts on water supply are critical as root crops are 
water-demanding for long periods, and highly sensitive to drought and 
heat events during tuber initiation (Dua et al., 2013; Potopová et al., 
2017; Brás et al., 2021).

Among perennial tree crops, only grapevine, olive, almond, apple, 
coffee and cocoa have received significant research attention. Concerns 
about climate impacts on harvest quality are widespread (Figure 5.3) 
(Barnuud et al., 2014; Bonada et al., 2015). In higher-latitude regions, 
the primary concern is the effect of temperature variability on harvest 
stability, pests and diseases and phenology (including fulfilment of 
winter chill requirements and risks due to early emergence in spring), 
(El Yaacoubi et al., 2014; Ramírez and Kallarackal, 2015; Santos et al., 
2017; Gitea et  al., 2019). In lower-latitude regions, information is

limited, but studies are focused on increased tree mortality and yield 
loss due to drought, heat and impacts from variability in the timing of 
the wet and dry seasons (Glenn et al., 2013; Ramírez and Kallarackal, 
2015); see Box 5.7). In fruit trees, warming and climate variability have 
already affected fruit quality, such as acidity and texture in apples, or 
skin colour in grape berries (Sugiura et al., 2013; Sugiura et al., 2018). 
The reliability and stability of harvests has been impacted by climate 
variability, changes in the distribution of pests and pathogens (Seidel, 
2014; Bois et al., 2017), and the mismatch of important phenological 
events (such as bud emergence and flowering) (Guo and Shen, 2015; 
Legave et  al., 2015; Ito et  al., 2018; Vitasse et  al., 2018). Perennial 
crops are particularly vulnerable to these impacts as they are exposed 
throughout the year, with little potential for growers to adjust planting 
date or location. Negative impacts via disruption to phenology and 
pest dynamics are best studied in grapevine (see Box 5.2).

Among the fibre crops, cotton is particularly well studied. As cotton 
is heat tolerant and yield increases with extra plant growth, positive 
effects of increasing temperature are expected, but observed impacts 
have been mixed due to negative impacts on phenology and plant 
water status (Traore et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2015a; Cho and McCarl, 
2017). Negative impacts of climate change due to proliferation of the 
pest cotton bollworm are widely reported (Ouyang et al., 2014; Huang 
and Hao, 2020).

The impacts of climate change on water availability (rainfall and 
irrigation supply) are an emerging issue. Increased occurrence of 
drought combined with limited access to irrigation water is already 
a key constraint; for example, Californian almonds are predicted to 
increase their potential geographical range under climate warming 
(Parker, 2018), yet a trend of increasing drought has already resulted in 
trees being removed due to lack of access to irrigation water (Keppen 
and Dutcher, 2015; Kerr et al., 2018; Reisman, 2019).

5.4.1.3  Observed impacts on pests, diseases and weeds

AR5 and SRCCL (IPCC, 2019) indicated that more frequent outbreaks 
and area expansion of pests and diseases are serious concerns under 
climate change but are under-researched because of the difficulties in 
assessing multi-species interactions (Porter et al., 2014; Mbow et al., 
2019). High-quality historical and current observational data to detect 
changes in pests and diseases attributable to recent trends in climate 
are still limited.

Bebber (2013) found significant poleward expansions of many 
important groups of crop pests and pathogens since 1960, with an 
average shift of 2.7 km yr

−1

. Different pest species populations respond 

differently to ongoing climate change, with some shifting, contracting 
or expanding their current distribution range and others persisting or 
disappearing in their current range (

high confidence

). These asymmetric 

distribution changes can create novel species combinations or 
decouple existing ones (Pecl et al., 2017; Hobbs et al., 2018), but their 
consequences on future crop production and food security are hard to 
predict. Multi-species climate change experiments are rare (Bonebrake 
et al., 2018), but one study shows that under future climates different 
pest assemblages of interacting species may alter levels of damage 
to crops compared with that by only one species (Crespo-Perez et al., 

2015). Some studies highlight the importance of location-specific 
species interactions for more realistic projections of pest distribution, 
performance and damage to crops, which in turn would allow more 
effective prevention and pest control strategies (Wilson et al., 2015; 
Carrasco et al., 2018).

Weeds are recognised as a primary constraint on crop production 
(Oerke, 2006), rangelands (DiTomaso et al., 2017) and forests (Webster 
et al., 2006). Climate change could favour the growth and development 
of weeds over crops with negative consequences for desired plants in 
managed systems (

medium evidence

,

 high agreement

) (Peters et al., 

2014; Ziska and McConnell, 2016). First, changes in temperature 
and precipitation alter the range, composition and competitiveness 
of native and invasive weeds (Bradley et  al., 2010). Second, rising 
concentrations of CO

2

 enhance growth of C

3

 species (~85% of plant 

species, including many weeds) (Ogren and Chollet, 1982; Ziska, 2003), 
and increase plant water use efficiency with potentially strong effects 
on invasive plant species establishment (Smith et  al., 2000; Belote 
et al., 2004; Blumenthal et al., 2013).

Some invasive species within unmanaged areas will expand further, 
proliferate and be more competitive under climate change as they may 
benefit from increased resource ability (e.g., additional CO

2

, enhanced 

precipitation) (Bradley et  al., 2010; Kathiresan and Gualbert, 2016; 
Merow et al., 2017; Ramesh et al., 2017; Waryszak et al., 2018), which 
will make chemical weed control more problematic (

medium evidence

,

 

high agreement

) (Waryszak et  al., 2018; Ziska, 2020). The range of 

other invasive weeds may become static, or even decline (Bradley 
et al., 2016; Buckley and Csergo, 2017). A recent meta-analysis also 
supports that invasive plants respond more favourably to elevated CO

2

 

concentrations and elevated temperatures than native plants (Korres 
et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2017). Movement of invasive species into low-
fertility areas, however, could provide resource opportunities, especially 
if agriculture in those areas is limited (Randriambanona et al., 2019).

Rising CO

2

 concentrations and climate change could reduce herbicide 

efficacy (

medium evidence

, 

high agreement

). These reductions may 

be associated with physical environmental changes (precipitation, 
wind speed) that influence herbicide coverage (Ziska, 2016) as well 
as direct effects of CO

2

 on plant biochemistry and herbicide resistance 

(Refatti et  al., 2019). Increasing CO

2

 levels and altered temperature 

and precipitation are therefore projected to affect all aspects of weed 
biology (Peters et  al., 2014; Ziska and McConnell, 2016), including 
establishment (Bradley et  al., 2016), competition (Fernando et  al., 
2019), distribution, (Castellanos-Frías et al., 2016) and management 
(Waryszak et al., 2018).

A warmer climate increases the need for pesticides (Shakhramanyan 
et  al., 2013; Ziska, 2014; Delcour et  al., 2015; Zhang et  al., 2018). 
Increases in temperature and CO

2

 concentration may reduce pesticide 

efficiency by altering its metabolism, or accelerating detoxification 
(Matzrafi et  al., 2016; Matzrafi, 2019). Intense rainfall also reduces 
persistence (Delcour et  al., 2015). Invasive pests and pathogens 
impose an additional cost for the society (Bradshaw et al., 2016). Rapid 
and large-scale dispersal of pests is already a major threat to food 
security, as exemplified by the recent outbreak of desert locusts (see 
Box 5.8), indicating the importance of international cooperation. Taken

Box 5.1: Evidence for Simultaneous Crop Failures Due to Climate Change

Simultaneous yield losses across major producing regions can be a threat to food security but had not been quantified by the time of AR5. 
Large-scale sea surface temperature (SST) oscillations greatly influence global yield of major crops (

high confidence

) (Anderson et al., 

2019b; Najafi et al., 2019; Ubilava and Abdolrahimi, 2019; Heino et al., 2020; Iizumi et al., 2021b) and food prices (Ubilava, 2018). Some 
studies showed that crop yields in different regions covaried with SST oscillations, suggesting occurrences of tele-connected yield failures 
(crop losses caused by related factors in distant regions; Table Box 5.1.1) (

medium confidence

increasing with ongoing climate change is still limited.

risks (Whitmee et al., 2015; IPBES, 2019). Surveillance for monitoring 
pest distribution and damages, climate-relevant pest risk analysis, and 
climate-smart strategies for controlling pests with minimal impacts on 
human and environmental health are important tools in the face of 
climate change (IPPC Secretariat, 2021).

5.4.1.4  Observed impacts of ozone on crops

Tropospheric (i.e., the lowest 6–10 km of the atmosphere) ozone 
exacerbates negative impacts of climate change (

high confidence

) 

(Mattos et al., 2014; Chuwah et al., 2015; McGrath et al., 2015; Bisbis 
et al., 2018; Mills et al., 2018; Scheelbeek et al., 2018). Ozone is an 
air pollutant and short-lived GHG that affects air quality and global 
climate. It is a strong oxidant that reduces physiological functions, 
yield and quality of crops and animals. Surface ozone concentration 
has increased substantially since the late 19

th

 century (Cooper et al., 

2014; Forster et al., 2021; Gulev et al., 2021; Szopa et al., 2021) and in 

some locations and times reaches levels that harm plants, animals and 
human (

high confidence

) (Fleming et al., 2018).

Mills (2018) estimated global distributions of current yield losses 
of major crops due to ozone, pest and diseases, heat, and aridity 
(Figure  5.4). Ozone-induced yield losses in 2010–2012 averaged 
12.4%, 7.1%, 4.4% and 6.1% for soybean, wheat, rice and maize, 
respectively. Spatial variation in yield losses is similar among different 
stresses; areas with a large loss due to ozone are also at high risk 
of yield losses due to pest and diseases and heat. Many vegetable 
crops are also susceptible to ozone, which will adversely impact quality 
and quantity (Mattos et al., 2014; Bisbis et al., 2018; Scheelbeek et al., 
2018).

The estimated yield loss does not account for interactions with other 
climatic factors. Temperatures enhance not only ozone production but 
also ozone uptake by plants, exacerbating yield and quality damage. 
Burney (2014) estimated current yield losses due to the combined 
effects of ozone and heat in India at 36% for wheat and 20% for rice. 
Schauberger et  al. (2019a) found global yield losses, ranging from 
2% to 10% for soybean and 0% to 39% for wheat with a model that

5.4.2 

Assessing Vulnerabilities within Production 
Systems

Since AR5, vulnerability assessment has become a pivotal component 
of risk analysis associated with climate hazards, climate change and 
climate variability (UNDRR, 2019)

. 

Vulnerability assessment can be 

sectoral or regional but involves social and ecological indicators. This 
section presents examples of vulnerability assessment to climatic 
hazards and social vulnerabilities.

5.4.2.1  Vulnerability to climatic hazards

Drought is a major risk component in cropping systems globally, 
with substantial economic loss (Kim et al., 2019b), livelihood impacts 
(Shiferaw et al., 2014; Miyan, 2015) and ultimately health risks such as 
malnutrition (Phalkey et al., 2015; Cooper et al., 2019). Vulnerability to 
drought can be estimated with a range of indicators (Hagenlocher et al., 
2019). Meza (2020) showed that drought risks could be exacerbated 
or moderated by regional differences in vulnerability (Figure 5.5). For 
instance, high-level risks observed in southern Africa, western Asia 

and central Asia result from high vulnerability (low coping capacity), 
whereas risk levels are relatively low despite the high exposure by 
relatively high adaptive capacity to drought in other regions.

Regional-scale assessment also highlights the importance of adaptive 
capacity. For instance, rice and maize production in Viet Nam Mekong 
Delta has high exposure to multiple climate hazards such as flooding, 
sea level rise, salinity intrusion and drought (Parker et al., 2019). Risks 
can be moderated by a relatively high adaptive capacity because of 
infrastructure, resources and high education levels (Parker et  al., 
2019). Another regional study demonstrated that erratic rains and 
high temperatures in southern and southeastern Africa increased 
the vulnerability of agricultural soils, thereby exacerbating impacts 
of prolonged and frequent droughts (Sonwa et  al., 2017a; See also 
Box 5.4).

Farm-scale assessment exemplifies context-sensitive vulnerability 
to climate hazards. Studies of coffee growers in Central America 
demonstrated that key vulnerability indicators varied greatly between 
regions and between farms, ranging from a lack of labour, postharvest 
infrastructure, conservation practices and transport that limits access 
to market, technical and financial assistance (Baca et  al., 2014; 
Bouroncle et al., 2017). These region- and scale-specific vulnerability

 Drought hazard indicator is defined as the ratio of actual crop evapotranspiration to potential crop evapotranspiration, calculated for 24 crops. Vulnerability index is the 

country-scale weighted average of a total of 64 indicators including social and ecological susceptibility indicators, and coping capacity. Risk index is calculated by multiplying hazard/
exposure indicator score and vulnerability index (Meza et al., 2020).

5.4.2.2  Inequities in cropping systems—other crops and 

regional disparities

While those working with major crops have benefited from the release 
of new cultivars, those growing other crops are typically reliant 
on a heritage cultivars or landraces. While Indigenous knowledge 
and local smallholder knowledge and practices play an important 
role in supporting agrobiodiversity which provides genetic diversity 
resistant to climate-related stresses, a global and national focus in 
international research, subsidies and support for a few crop species 
has contributed to an overall decline in agrobiodiversity (FAO, 2019e; 
Song et al., 2019) Similarly, there is a lack of agronomic innovation and 
research to service ‘minor’ crops (Moriondo et al., 2015; Manners and 
van Etten, 2018). Even some high-value commodities grown outside 
high-income countries suffer from imbalances in the focus of available 
credit, research and innovation (Section 5.4.4.3; Glover, 2014; Fischer, 
2016; Farrell et al., 2018). There is a possibility that a lack of adaptive 
capacity and policy support will drive these growers to move away 
from these diverse crops, further reducing the resilience of food 
systems by increasing risk of crop loss from pests, disease and drought 
and potential loss of Indigenous or local knowledge (Section 5.13.5, 
Table Box  5.1.1). In the Andean Altiplano of Bolivia, for example, 
Indigenous farmers have traditionally managed a diverse set of native 
crops which are drought and frost-tolerant, using cultural practices 
of seed selection and exchange, but have faced an increase in pests 

and diseases and a decline of traditional crops due to climate-change-
related stresses, out-migration and intensification drivers (Meldrum 
et al., 2018).

5.4.2.3  Gender and other social inequities

Social inequities such as gender, ethnicity and income level, which 
vary by time and place and may overlap, can compound vulnerability 
to climate change for producers within cropping systems (

high 

confidence

) (Table 5.3, Arora-Jonsson, 2011; Djoudi et al., 2013; Carr 

and Thompson, 2014; Mbow et al., 2019; Rao et al., 2019a; Nyantakyi-
Frimpong, 2020a). Rather than binary and static categories (i.e., men 
versus women), social vulnerabilities are dynamic and intersect; to 
understand vulnerability, the specific socio-cultural identities and 
political and environmental context need to be studied in relation to 
climate stress (Thompson-Hall et al., 2016; Rao et al., 2019a; Nyantakyi-
Frimpong, 2020a).

  Examples of social inequities in cropping systems that compound climate change vulnerability.

Social inequity

How social inequity increases vulnerability to climate change in cropping systems

Gender inequity

 can create and worsen social 

vulnerability to climate change impacts within cropping 
systems (

high confidence

) (Carr and Thompson, 

2014; Sugden et al., 2014; Nyantakyi-Frimpong and 
Bezner-Kerr, 2015; Rao et al., 2019a; Ebhuoma et al., 
2020; Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020a; see Cross-Chapter 
Box GENDER in Chapter 18).

 

– Men and women have different access to and decision-making control over resources such as seeds, systemic differences in 

land tenure and agricultural employment, and their responsibilities, workloads and response to climate stresses differ due 
to systemic gender inequities and socio-cultural norms, which intersect with other inequities (e.g., income level, ethnicity) to 
compound vulnerability (Rao et al., 2019a; Ebhuoma et al., 2020; Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020a).

 

– In a study in northern Ghana, for example, poor widows with poor health had fewer resources to rely on during droughts 

than married women, particularly those married to local leaders; in contrast, due to gendered expectations, during floods 
low-income men suffered greater consequences (Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020a).

 

– Adaptation strategies such as migration can compound that vulnerability, but importantly, the specific gendered 

vulnerability intersects with other inequities which are context specific (Sugden et al., 2014; Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020a; 
Cross-Chapter Box MIGRATE in Chapter 7).

Globally, 

smallholder food producers

 are more 

vulnerable than large-scale producers to climate change 
impacts (

high confidence

).

 

– Smallholder food producers are more vulnerable in part because of limited policy, infrastructure and institutional support, 

low credit access, viable markets and limited political voice in policy debates (HLPE, 2013; Karttunen et al., 2017; Mbow 
et al., 2019; Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020a).

 

– Smallholder producers’ vulnerability may be increased by heavy reliance on one crop for income, particularly if the crop 

requires significant capital investments (

medium confidence

) (Toufique and Belton, 2014; Craparo et al., 2015; Ovalle-Rivera 

et al., 2015).

 

– For example, smallholder coffee producers in southern Mexico and Central America are more vulnerable due to a range of 

factors, including unstable and low coffee prices, limited institutional support for small-scale producers, low negotiation 
capacity and access to markets, and heavy reliance on one crop for income (Economic Commission for Latin America and 
the Caribbean and System, 2014; Ovalle-Rivera et al., 2015; Ruiz Meza, 2015; Hannah et al., 2017; Bacon et al., 2021). Pest 
and disease outbreaks such as coffee leaf rust, extreme climatic events, ongoing conflict, poor governance and low viability 
of livelihoods increased migration and high levels of food insecurity for this group (Robalino et al., 2015; Hannah et al., 
2017; Donatti et al., 2019) which also varied by institutional- and farm-level responses, land size and income level (Quiroga 
et al., 2020; Bacon et al., 2021).

Farmworkers

 are another social group with heightened 

vulnerability to climate change (

medium confidence

).

 

– Farmworkers often experience job insecurity, food insecurity, poor working conditions, poverty and social marginalisation. 

Climate change impacts can compound their vulnerability, for example by worsening working conditions through increased 
temperatures and humidity (Section 5.12.3.1), or increase unreliability of work due to rainfall irregularity, flooding or 
drought, and can put them more at risk during climatic extreme events such as wildfires (Turhan et al., 2015; Greene, 2018; 
Mendez et al., 2020; Tigchelaar et al., 2020).

have a greater capacity for enhanced biomass under elevated CO

concentrations, although this does not always result in higher yields 
(Glenn et al., 2013; Kimball, 2016).

Recent FACE studies found that the effects of elevated CO

2

 are greater 

under water-limited conditions (

medium confidence

) (Manderscheid 

et al., 2014; Fitzgerald et al., 2016; Kimball, 2016), which was generally 
reproduced by crop models (Deryng et  al., 2016). However, drought 
sometimes negates the CO

2

 effects (Jin et al., 2018).

There are significant interactions between CO

2

, temperature, cultivars, 

nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients (Kimball, 2016; Toreti et al., 2020): 
positive effects of rising CO

2

 on yield are significantly reduced by higher 

temperatures for soybean, wheat and rice (

medium confidence

) (Ruiz-

Vera et al., 2013; Cai et al., 2016; Gray et al., 2016; Hasegawa et al., 
2016; Obermeier et al., 2016; Purcell et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2018). In 
above-ground vegetables, elevated CO

2

 can in some cases reduce the 

impact of other climate stressors, while in others the negative impacts 
of other abiotic factors negate the potential benefit of elevated CO

2

 

(Bourgault et  al., 2017; Bourgault et  al., 2018; Parvin et  al., 2018; 
Parvin et al., 2019). Significant variation exists among cultivars in yield 
response to elevated CO

2

, which is positively correlated with yield 

potential in rice and soybean, suggesting the potential to develop 
cultivars for enhanced productivity under future elevated [CO

2

] 

(Ainsworth and Long, 2021).

Elevated CO

2

 reduces some important nutrients such as protein, iron, 

zinc and some grains, fruit or vegetables to varying degrees depending 
on crop species and cultivars (

high confidence

) (Mattos et al., 2014; 

Myers et al., 2014; Dong et al., 2018; Scheelbeek et al., 2018; Zhu et al., 
2018a; Jin et al., 2019; Ujiie et al., 2019). This is of particular relevance 
for fruit and vegetable crops given their importance in human 
nutrition (

high confidence

) (see Section 5.12.4 for potential impacts 

on nutrition; Nelson et  al., 2018; Springmann et  al., 2018). Recent 
experimental studies (Section 5.3.2), however, show some complex and 
counteracting interactions between CO

2

 and temperature in wheat, 

soybean and rice; heat stress negates the adverse effect of elevated 
CO

2

 on some nutrient elements (Macabuhay et al., 2018; Kohler et al., 

2019; Wang et al., 2019b). The CO

2

 by temperature interaction for grain 

quality needs to be better understood quantitatively to predict food 
nutritional security in the future.

5.4.3.2  Projected impacts on major crop production

AR5 Chapter 7 estimated global crop yield reduction due to climate 
change to be about 1% per decade (Porter et al., 2014), similar to the 
previous assessment reports (Porter et al., 2019). Additional research 
confirms that climate change will disproportionately affect crop 
yields among regions, with more negative than positive effects being 
expected in most areas, especially in currently warm regions, including 
Africa and Central and South America (

high confidence

).

A systematic literature search between 2014 and 2020 resulted in 
about 100 peer-reviewed papers that simulated crop yields of four 
major crops (maize, rice, soybean and wheat) using Coupled Model 
Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) data (Hasegawa et  al., 
2021b). Most studies focus on the relative change in crop yields 

due to climate change but do not consider technological advances. 
Nevertheless, they provide useful insights into time-, scenario- and 
warming-degree-dependent impacts of climate change.

The impact of climate change on crop yield without adaptation projected 
in the 21st century is generally negative even with the CO

2

 fertilisation 

effects, with the overall median per-decade effect being −2.3% for 
maize, −3.3% for soybean, −0.7% for rice and −1.3% for wheat, which 
is consistent with previous IPCC assessments (Porter et al., 2014). The 
effects vary greatly within each crop, timeframe and RCP, but show a 
few common features across crops (Figure  5.6a

)

. Differences in the 

projected impacts between RCPs are not pronounced by mid-century. 
From then onward, the negative effect becomes more pronounced 
under RCP8.5, notably in maize. Rice yields show less variation across 
models than other crops presumably because simulations are mostly 
under irrigated conditions. A part of the uncertainty in the projection is 
due to regional differences (Figure 5. 6b). Negative impacts on cereals 
are projected in Africa and Central and South America at the end of the 
century, which agrees with the previous studies (Aggarwal et al., 2019; 
Porter et al., 2019).

The differences due to regions, RCPs and timeframes are related to 
the current temperature level and degree of warming (Figure 5.7). The 
projected effects of climate change are positive where current annual 
mean temperatures (

T

ave

) are below 10°C, but they become negative 

with 

T

ave 

above around 15°C. At 

T

ave

 > 20°C, even a small degree of 

warming could result in adverse effects. In maize, negative effects 
are apparent at almost all temperature zones. A new study using 
the latest climate scenarios (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 
Phase 6, CMIP6) and global gridded crop model ensemble projected 
that climate change impacts on major crop yields appear sooner than 
previously anticipated, mainly because of warmer climate projections 
and improved crop model sensitivities (Jägermeyr et al., 2021).

As noted in Section 5.3.1, most simulations do not fully account for 
responses to pests, diseases, long-term change in soil, and some climate 
extremes (Rosenzweig et al., 2014), but studies are emerging to include 
some of these effects. For example, based on the temperature response 
of insect pest population and metabolic process, global yield losses of 
rice, maize and wheat are projected to increase by 10–25% per degree 
Celsius of warming (Deutsch et al., 2018). Rising temperatures reduce 
soil carbon and nitrogen, which in turn exacerbate the negative effects 
of +3°C warming on yield from 9% to 13% in wheat and from 14% to 
19% in maize (Basso et al., 2018).

A few studies have examined possible occurrences of tele-connected 
yield losses (5.4.1.2) using future climate scenarios. Tigchelaar (2018) 
estimated that, for the top four maize-exporting countries, the 
probability that simultaneous production losses greater than 10% 
occur in any given year increases from 0% to 7% under 2°C warming 
and to 86% under 4°C warming. Gaupp (2019) estimated that risks of 
simultaneous failure in maize would increase from 6% to 40% at 1.5°C 
and to 54% at 2°C warming, relative to the historical baseline climate. 
Large-scale changes in SST are the major factors causing simultaneous 
variation in climate extremes, which are projected to intensify under 
global warming (Cai et al., 2014; Perry et al., 2017). Consequently, risks 
of simultaneous yield losses in major food-producing regions will also

increase with global warming levels above 1.5°C (

medium confidence

). 

Further examination is needed for the effects of spatial patterns of 
these extremes on breadbaskets in relation to SST anomalies under 
more extreme climate scenarios.

Future surface ozone concentration is highly uncertain (Fiore et al., 
2012; Turnock et al., 2018); it is projected to increase under RCP8.5 and 
decrease under other RCPs depending largely on different methane 
emission trajectories because methane is an important precursor 
of ozone. Methane, therefore, reduces crop yield both from climate 
warming and ozone increase (Avnery et  al., 2013). Shindell (2016) 

estimated yield losses of four major crops (to be 25±11% by 2100 
under RCP8.5, as a net balance of the positive effect of CO

2

 (15±2%) 

and negative effects of warming (35±10%) and ozone (4.0±1.3%), 
and that 62% of the yield loss was attributable to methane. This 
points to the importance of reducing methane and other precursors 
of ozone as an effective adaptation strategy (

5.4.3.3  Projected impacts on other crops

Yield projections for crops other than cereals indicate mostly 
negative impacts on production due to a range of climate drivers 
(

high confidence

), with yield reductions similar to that of cereals 

expected in tropical, subtropical and semi-arid areas (Mbow et  al., 
2019). Springmann et al. (2016), compared the projected global food 
availability for different food groups under the SSP2 2050 scenario 

and found reductions in availability were similar in cereals, fruit and 
vegetables, and root and tubers (with legumes and oilseed crops 
showing a smaller reduction).

Fruit and vegetables have not been subject to extensive or coordinated 
yield projections (Figure 5.8). Yield projections have been performed for 
individual crops and locations (Ruane, 2014; Adhikari et al., 2015; Awoye 
et al., 2017; Ramachandran et al., 2017), but more often crop suitability

models have been used (SM5.3). Zhao (2019) introduced a modelling 
approach that could be used to generate yield projections for a wider 
range of annual crops. The discussion here also draws on reviews of more 
restricted experimental studies. Negative impacts of climate change on 
crop production are expected across many cropping systems (Figure 5.8). 
Apart from the direct effects of elevated carbon dioxide, most changes 
are expected to have negative effects on crop production. Changes in 
temperature and rainfall are most often mentioned as drivers of climate 
impacts, but expected changes in phenology, pests and diseases are 
also raising concerns. Scheelbeek et al. (2018) synthesised projections 
for vegetables and legumes, based on their response to climate factors 
under experimental conditions; in most cases, the magnitude of the 
changes is comparable to the RCP8.5 2100 forecasts. Scheelbeek et al. 
(2018) projected yield changes of: +22.0% (+11.6% to +32.5%) for a 
250 ppm increase in CO

2

 concentration; −34.7% (−44.6% to −24.9%) 

for a 50% reduction in water availability; −8.9% (−15.6% to −2.2%) 
for a 25% increase in ozone concentration; −31.5% for a 4°C increase 
in temperature (in papers with a baseline temperature of >20°C). 
Overall, impacts are expected to be largely negative in regions where 
the temperature is currently above 20°C, while some yield gains are 
expected in cooler regions (provided that water availability and other 
conditions are maintained). Scheelbeek et al. (2018) did not consider 
changes in pest and disease pressure, which are projected to increase 
with warming (see SM5.3).

Systematic assessments of climate response for root crops as a group 
are lacking (Raymundo et al., 2014; Knox et al., 2016; Manners and 
van Etten, 2018). Climate suitability is projected to increase for tropical 
root crops (SM5.3), and some studies have found that root crops will 
be less negatively impacted than cereals, but there is no consensus on 
this (Brassard and Singh, 2008; Adhikari et al., 2015; Schafleitner, 2016; 
Manners et al., 2021). For potato, Raymundo et al. (2018) projected 
global yield reductions of 2–6% by 2055 under different RCPs, but 
with important differences among regions; tuber dry weight may 
experience reductions of 50–100% in marginal growing areas such 
as central Asia, while increases of up to 25% are expected in many 
high-yielding environments. Projections show yield increases of 6% 

per 100 ppm elevation in CO

2

 but declines of 4.6% per degree Celsius 

and 2% per 10% decrease in rainfall (Fleisher et al., 2017). Jennings 
et al. (2020) projected an overall increase in global potato production, 
but only if widespread adoption of adaptation measures is achieved. 
Although increases in CO

2

 could produce positive yield responses, 

the effects of temperature may offset these potential benefits (Dua 
et al., 2013; Raymundo et al., 2014). Warming offers the potential of 
longer growing seasons but can also have negative impacts through 
disrupted phenology and interactions with pests (Figure 5.8, Bebber, 
2015; Pulatov et al., 2015).

Global yield modelling is lacking for woody perennial crops. 
Experimental studies suggest negative impacts on yields due to reduced 
water supply and increased soil salinity, as well as from warming and 
ozone (although evidence was limited for these) (Alae-Carew et al., 
2020). Increasing CO

2

 is expected to increase yields, but only where 

other factors, such as warming, do not become yield-limiting (Alae-
Carew et al., 2020). Many local projections include large uncertainty 
because of a lack of observational data and reliable parametrisation 
(Moriondo et  al., 2015; Mosedale et  al., 2016; Kerr et  al., 2018; 
Mayer et  al., 2019b). Most perennial crop models have found large 
negative impacts on yield and suitability, although CO

2 

fertilisation 

and phenology are not always considered (Lobell and Field, 2011; 
Glenn et al., 2013). Perennial crops are often grown in dryland areas 
where rainfall or irrigation water can be critical (Mrabet et al., 2020). 
Valverde (2015) found that yield losses in the Mediterranean region 
were largely driven by reduced rainfall, with maximum estimated 
yield losses of 5.4% for grape, 14.9% for olive and 27.2% for almond 
under a relatively hot and dry scenario (by 2041–2070). Moriondo 
(2015) highlight the need for perennial crop models to incorporate 
phenology and extreme climate events. Equally challenging is the need 
to estimate the impact of biotic changes, particularly climate-driven 
movement of pests and diseases (Ponti et al., 2014; Bosso et al., 2016; 
Schulze-Sylvester and Reineke, 2019).

Box 5.2: Case Study: Wine

Wine-growing regions cover 7.4 million ha, with a value of 35 billion USD in 2018 (OIV, 2019). Important regions (Italy, France, Spain, 
USA, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, Chile, Germany, China, Argentina) are located in areas where mean annual temperature roughly 
varies between 10°C and 20°C (Schultz and Jones, 2010; Mosedale et al., 2016).

Temperature is the primary determinant for vine development. Recent warming trends have advanced flowering, maturity and harvest 
(

high confidence

) (Koufos et al., 2014; Cook and Wolkovich, 2016; Hall et al., 2016; Ruml et al., 2016; van Leeuwen and Destrac-Irvine, 

2017; Koufos et  al., 2020; Wang et  al., 2020b; Wang and Li, 2020), and wine-growing regions have expanded outside the normal 
temperature bounds of locally grown varieties (

limited evidence

,

 high agreement

) (Kryza et al., 2015; Irimia et al., 2018). Milder winters 

have affected harvest in ice-wine growing regions (Pickering et al., 2015). Higher temperatures have mixed effects depending on site, but 
generally decrease grape quality (Barnuud et al., 2014; Morales et al., 2014; Sweetman et al., 2014; Kizildeniz et al., 2015; Kizildeniz et al., 
2018). Warming increases sugar accumulation and decreases acidity (Leolini et al., 2019). Secondary metabolites are negatively affected 
(Biasi et al., 2019; Teslić et al., 2019). Developmental phases are projected to proceed faster in response to warming (

high confidence

) 

(Fraga et al., 2016a; Fraga et al., 2016b; García de Cortázar-Atauri et al., 2017; Costa et al., 2019; Molitor and Junk, 2019; Sánchez, 2019). 
However extreme high temperatures may have inhibitory effects on development (Cuccia et al., 2014).

In some cases, irrigation is required, and more frequent droughts are a key concern for yield and fruit quality (Morales et al., 2014; 
Bonada et al., 2015; Kizildeniz et al., 2015; Salazar-Parra, 2015; Kizildeniz et al., 2018; Funes et al., 2020). Water stress reduces shoot 
growth and berry size, and increases tannin and anthocyanin content (van Leeuwen and Darriet, 2016). However, controlled water stress 
produces positive impacts on wine quality, increasing skin phenolic compounds (van Leeuwen and Destrac-Irvine, 2017). The level of 
stress will depend on soil type, texture and organic matter content (Fraga et al., 2016a; Fraga et al., 2016b; Bonfante, 2017; García de 
Cortázar-Atauri et al., 2017; Leibar et al., 2017; Costa et al., 2019; Molitor and Junk, 2019; Sánchez, 2019). Increases in water demands 
with potential negative effects from increased soil salinity are among the most common effects of climate change in irrigated regions 
(

medium evidence

, 

high agreement

) (Mirás-Avalos et al., 2018; Phogat et al., 2018).

Rising CO

2

 will have mixed effects on vine growth and quality (

medium evidence, high agreement

)

 

(Martínez-Lüscher et  al., 2016; 

Edwards et al., 2017; van Leeuwen and Destrac-Irvine, 2017). Rising CO

2

 concentrations will negatively affect wine quality by reducing 

anthocyanin concentration and colour intensity (Leibar et al., 2017).

Suitability responses to warming are region-specific. In regions where low temperature is a limiting factor, warming will enable growers 
to grow a wider range of varieties and obtain better-quality wines (

high confidence

) (Fuhrer et al., 2014; Mosedale et al., 2015; Mosedale 

et al., 2016; Meier et al., 2018; Jobin Poirier et al., 2019; Maciejczak and Mikiciuk, 2019). Subtropical and Mediterranean regions will 
experience major declines in fruit quality for high-quality wines (

high confidence

) (Resco et al., 2016; Lazoglou et al., 2018; Cardell et al., 

2019; Fraga et al., 2019a; Fraga et al., 2019b; Teslić et al., 2019). These changes will also affect wine tourism (Nunes and Loureiro, 2016).

Impacts on suitability may reshape the geographical distribution of wine regions. Viability of the wine-growing regions will depend on the 
knowledge of local climatic variability (Neethling et al., 2019; Rességuier et al., 2020) and the implementation of adaptation strategies 
such as use of adapted plant material rootstocks, cultivars and clones, viticultural techniques (e.g., changing trunk height, leaf area to 
fruit weight ratio, timing of pruning), irrigation, enological interventions to control alcohol and acidity, and policy incentives and support 
(Callen et al., 2016; Ollat and Leeuwen, 2016; van Leeuwen and Destrac-Irvine, 2017; Merloni et al., 2018; Alikadic et al., 2019; del Pozo 
et al., 2019; Fraga et al., 2019b; Santillan et al., 2019; Morales-Castilla et al., 2020; Marín et al., 2021).

Box 5.3: Pollinators

Climate change will reduce the effectiveness of pollinator agents as species are lost from certain areas, or the coordination of pollinator 
activity and flower receptiveness is disrupted in some regions (

high confidence

) (Potts et al., 2010; Gonzalez-Varo et al., 2013; Polce 

et al., 2014; Kerr et al., 2015; Potts et al., 2016; Settele et al., 2016; Giannini et al., 2017; Mbow et al., 2019). A modelling study estimates 
that complete removal of pollinators could reduce global fruit supply by 23%, vegetables by 16%, and nuts and seeds by 22%, leading 
to significant increases in nutrient-deficient population and malnutrition-related diseases (Smith and Haddad, 2015), highlighting the 
importance of this ecosystem service for human health.

Bees are an essential agricultural pollinator, widely recognised for their role in the fertilisation of many domesticated plants. The observed 
widespread decline in native bees and honeybee colony numbers, particularly in the USA and Europe, has been associated with a number 
of environmental stressors in addition to climate change, such as neonicotinoids and varroa mites, and has raised concerns regarding 
plant–pollinator networks, the stability of pollination services, global food production and the prevalence of malnutrition (Williams and 
Osborne, 2009; Potts et al., 2010; Chaplin-Kramer et al., 2014).

Any climatic influence on floral phenology or physiology could, potentially, alter bee biology. At present, there is evidence that climate-
change-induced asynchrony in pollen and pollinators can occur (Stemkovski et al., 2020). In addition, the nutritional composition of floral 
pollen may also affect bees’ health at the global level (

low evidence

). For example, goldenrod (

Solidago

 spp.), a ubiquitous pollen source 

for bees just prior to winter, has experienced a ~30% drop in protein since the onset of CO

2

 emissions from the industrial revolution 

(Ziska et al., 2016).

Climate extremes could pose risks to pollinators when species tolerance is exceeded, with subsequent reduction in populations and 
potential extirpation (Nicholson and Egan, 2020; Soroye et al., 2020). The rate of climate change may induce potential mismatches in 
the timing of flowering and pollinator activity depending on the species (Bartomeus et al., 2011). For instance, Miller-Struttmann (2015) 
showed that long-tongued bumblebees may be at a disadvantage as warming temperatures are reducing their floral hosts, making 
generalist bumblebees more successful.

Overall, there is 

medium confidence

 that long-term mutualisms may be impacted directly by CO

2

 increases in terms of nutrition, or by 

temperature and other climatic shifts that may alter floral emergence relative to pollinator life cycles. Additional research is needed to 
further our understanding of the biological basis for these effects, and their consequence for pollination services.

For cotton, experimental studies suggest positive impacts from rising

 and temperature (Zhang et  al., 2017a; Jans et  al., 2021), but 

projections show mixed impacts on yield, including large negative 
impacts in warmer regions due to heat, drought and the interaction of 
temperature with phenology (Yang et al., 2014; Williams et al., 2015; 
Adhikari et  al., 2016; Rahman et  al., 2018). Climate change is also 
expected to increase the demand for irrigation water, which will likely 
limit production (Jans et al., 2021). There are also concerns that fibre 
quality may deteriorate (e.g., air permeability of compressed cotton 
fibers) (Luo et al., 2016).

Higher temperatures and altered moisture levels are expected to 
present a food safety risk, particularly for above-ground harvested 
vegetables (Figures  5.8; 5.10). Warmer and wetter weather is 

anticipated to increase fungal and microbial growth on leaves and fruit, 
while altered flooding regimes increase the risk of crop contamination 
(Liu et al., 2013; Uyttendaele et al., 2015). This is also true for perennial 
crops; for example, warming and climate variability can increase fungal 
contamination of grapes, including that associated with mycotoxins 
(Battilani, 2016; Paterson, 2018).

5.4.3.4  Observed and projected impacts on cultural ecosystem 

service

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are those non-material benefits, 
such as aesthetic experiences, recreation, spiritual enrichment, social 
relations, cultural identity, knowledge and other values (Millennium 
Ecosystem Assessment, 2005), which support physical and mental health 

Box 5.4: Soil Health

Soil health, defined as an integrative property that reflects the capacity of soil to respond to land management, continues to support 
provisioning ecosystem services (Kibblewhite et al., 2008). Climate change will have significant impacts on soil health indicators such 
as soil organic matter (SOM). For example, precipitation extremes can reduce soil biological functions, and increase surface flooding, 
waterlogging, soil erosion and susceptibility to salinisation (Herbert et al., 2015; Chen and Mueller, 2018; Akter et al., 2019; Sánchez-
Rodríguez et al., 2019).

The most significant threat to soil health is the loss of SOM (FAO and ITPS, 2015). SOM holds a great proportion of the nutrients, and 
regulates important soil physical, chemical and biological processes, such as cation exchange capacity, pH buffering, soil structure, 
water-holding capacity and microbial activity (FAO and ITPS, 2015). Soils also hold the largest terrestrial organic carbon stock, three to 
four times greater than the atmosphere (Stoorvogel et al., 2017). At the global scale, climate and vegetation are the main drivers of soil 
organic carbon (SOC) storage (Wiesmeier et al., 2019). While organic matter input is the primary driver of SOC stocks (Fujisaki et al., 
2018), temperature and soil moisture play a key role in SOC storage at the local scale (Carvalhais et al., 2014; Doetterl et al., 2015). Soil 
type, land use and management practices also play important roles at the local scale.

Increase in soil temperature will negatively impact SOC, but primarily in higher latitudes (

medium confidence

) (Carey et al., 2016; Qi et al., 

2016; Feng et al., 2017; Gregorich et al., 2017; Hicks Pries et al., 2017; Melillo et al., 2017; Hicks Pries et al., 2018). Experiments have 
shown that warming can accelerate litter mass loss and soil respiration (Lu et al., 2013) and reduces the soil recalcitrant C pool (Chen 
et al., 2020). SOC losses may speed up soil structural degradation, changes in soil stoichiometry and function (Hakkenberg et al., 2008; 
Tamene et al., 2019), with downstream effects on aquatic ecosystems. The rate and extent of SOC losses vary greatly depending on the 
scale of measurement (local to global), soil properties, climate, land use and management practices (Sanderman et al., 2017; Wiesmeier 
et al., 2019).

Adoption of practices that build SOC can improve crop resilience to climate-change-related stresses such as agricultural drought. Iizumi 
and Wagai (2019) found that a relatively small increase in topsoil (0–30 cm) SOC could reduce drought damages to crops over 70% of 
the global harvested area. The effects of increasing SOC are more positive in drylands owing to more efficient use of rainwater, which 
can increase drought tolerance (Iizumi and Wagai, 2019). Similarly, Sun et al. (2020) found that, relative to local conventional tillage, 
conservation agriculture has a win-win outcome of enhanced C sequestration and increased crop yield in arid regions. However, the 
impact of no-till may be minimal if not supplemented with residue cover and cover crops. As such, this is a highly debated area where 
some authors argue that no-till has limited effect and the evidence outside drylands is weak. Furthermore, the use of crop residues is 
constrained by its alternative uses (e.g., fuel, livestock feed, etc.) in much of the developing world. Practices that build up SOC may 
encourage soil microbial populations, which in turn can increase yield stability under drought conditions (Prudent et al., 2020).

Soil C sequestration is an important strategy to improve crop and livestock production sustainably that could be applied at large scales 
and at a low cost, if there was adequate institutional support and labour, using agroforestry, conservation agriculture, mixed cropping 
and targeted application of fertilizer and compost (

2018; Corbeels et al., 2019; Kuyah et al., 2019; Corbeels et al., 2020; Muchane et al., 2020; Sun et al., 2020; Nath et al., 2021). For example, 
a widespread adoption of agroforestry, conservation agriculture, mixed cropping and balanced application of fertilizer and compost by 
India’s small landholders could increase annual C sequestration by 70–130 Tg CO

CES in agricultural and wild landscapes include recreational activities, 
access to wild or cultivated products, and cultural foods, spiritual rituals, 
heritage and memory dimensions, and aesthetic experiences (Daugstad 
et  al., 2006; Calvet-Mir et  al., 2012; Ruoso et  al., 2015). Relative to 
other ecosystem services, CES in agricultural landscapes have been less 
researched (Merlín-Uribe et al., 2012; Milcu et al., 2013; Bernues et al., 
2014; Plieninger et al., 2014; van Berkel and Verburg, 2014; Ruoso et al., 
2015; Quintas-Soriano et al., 2016). Agricultural heritage is a key aspect 
of CES and plays an important role in maintaining agrobiodiversity 
(Hanaček and Rodríguez-Labajos, 2018).

Climate change is projected to have negative impacts on CES (

medium 

confidence

) (Table 5.4). There is limited evidence that climate change has 

been the main driver affecting CES of agroecosystems confounded by 
other drivers such as migration and changing farming patterns (Hanaček 
and Rodríguez-Labajos, 2018; Dhakal and Kattel, 2019). Recent studies 
observed declines in CES in alpine pastures and floodplains in Europe in 
part due to climate change impacts (Probstl-Haider et al., 2016; Schirpke 
et al., 2019). Another study estimated that the scenic beauty enjoyed by 
those who visit the vineyards in central Chile will decline by 18–28% 
by 2050 owing to a combination of reduced precipitation, increased 
temperatures and natural fire cycles (Martinez-Harms et  al., 2017). 
More research is needed, however, particularly on cultural heritage and 
spiritually significant places and in low-income countries.

5.4.4 

Adaptation Options

Adaptation strategies in crop production range from field and farm-
level technical options such as crop management and cultivar/crop 
options to livelihood diversification and income protection such 
as index-based insurance. This section assesses crop management 
options for different crop types. Feasibility of adaptation options in 
various systems is addressed in Section 5.14.

5.4.4.1  Adaptation options for major crops

Crop management practices are the most commonly studied adaptation 
measures (Shaffril et  al., 2018; Hansen et  al., 2019a; Muchuru and 
Nhamo, 2019), but quantitative assessments are mostly limited to 
existing agronomic options such as changes in planting schedules, 
cultivars and irrigation (Beveridge et al., 2018a; Aggarwal et al., 2019). 
This section draws on the global data set used in Section  5.4.3.2 
(Hasegawa et  al., 2021b) to estimate adaptation potential, defined 
as the difference in simulated yields with and without adaptations. A 
caveat to the analysis is that the data set includes management options 
if the literature treats them as adaptation. They include intensification 
measures such as fertilizer and water management, not allowing for 
physical and economic feasibility.

The overall adaptation potential of existing farm management 
practices to reduce yield losses averaged 8% in mid-century and 
11% in end-century (Figure  5.9), which is insufficient to offset the 
negative impacts from climate change, particularly in currently warmer 
regions (Section 5.4.3.2). Emission scenarios, crop species, regions and 
adaptation options do not show discernible differences. Combinations 

of two or more options do not necessarily have greater adaptation 
potential than a single option, though a fair comparison is difficult 
in the data set from independent studies. One regional study in West 
Africa found that currently promising management would no longer 
be effective under future climate, suggesting the need to evaluate 
effectiveness under projected climate change.

A global-scale meta-analysis estimated a 3–7% yield loss per degree 
Celsius increase in temperature (Zhao et al., 2017). Two global-scale 
studies using multiple global gridded crop models found that growing-
season adaptation through cultivar changes offsets global production 
losses up to 2°C of temperature increase (Minoli et al., 2019; Zabel et al., 
2021). While these studies do not account for CO

2

 fertilisation effects, 

another global-scale study with the CO

2

 fertilisation effects (Iizumi 

et  al., 2020) showed that residual damage (climate change impacts 
after adaptation) would start to increase almost exponentially from 
2040 towards the end of the century under RCP8.5. The cost required 
for adaptation and due to residual damage is projected to rise from 
USD 63 billion at 1.5°C to USD 80 billion at 2°C and to USD 128 billion 
at 3°C (Iizumi et al., 2020). All these global studies project that risks 
and damages are greater in tropical and arid regions, where crops are 
exposed to heat and drought stresses more often than in temperate 
regions (Sun et al., 2019; Kummu et al., 2021; SM5.4). There are still 
large uncertainties in the crop model projections (Müller et al., 2021a), 
but these multiple lines of evidence suggest that warming beyond 
+2°C (projected to be reached by mid-century under high-emission 
scenarios) will substantially increase the cost of adaptation and the 
residual damage to major crops (

high confidence

). The residual damage 

will prevail much sooner in currently warmer regions, where the effect 
of even a modest temperature increase is greater (Section 5.4.3.2).

Most crop modelling studies on adaptation are still limited to a handful 
of options for each crop type (Beveridge et al., 2018a). A range of other 
options are possible not just to reduce yield losses but to diversify 
risks to livelihoods, which are partially assessed in Sections 5.4.4.4 and 
5.14.1. Current modelling approaches are not suited for the assessment 
of multiple dimensions of adaptation options. New studies are 
emerging that evaluate multiple options for productivity, sustainability 
and GHG emission (Xin and Tao, 2019; Smith et al., 2020b), but local- 
and household-scale assessment, taking account of future climatic 
variability, needs to be enhanced (Beveridge et al., 2018a).

5.4.4.2  Adaptation options for other crops

Across this diverse group of cropping systems, distinct adaptation 
options and adaptation limits have emerged (Figure  5.10; Acevedo 
et  al., 2020; Berrang-Ford et  al., 2021b). Some crop types have 
already seen widescale implementation of climate adaptation (e.g., 
grapevines), while others show little evidence of preparation for 
climate change (e.g., leafy salad crops). Many adaptation responses 
are shared with the major crops, but prominent options such as plant 
breeding are underutilised and there is a lack of evidence for assessing 
adaptation for many crops (Bisbis et  al., 2018; Gunathilaka et  al., 
2018; Manners and van Etten, 2018). Figure  5.10 assesses several 
adaptation options based on the perceived importance of each in 
the literature. Fruit and vegetable crops tend to be more reliant on 
ecosystem services in the form of pollination, biocontrol and other

Chapter 5

resources (water, nutrients, microbes, etc.), and ecosystem-based 
adaptation options are prominent. The range of crops means that 
there is great potential for crop switching, but cultural and economic 
barriers will make such options difficult to implement, with barriers 
to entry for production and marketing (Waha et  al., 2013; Magrini 
et  al., 2016; Kongsager, 2017; Rhiney et  al., 2018). Perennial crops 
are exposed to a wide range of climate factors throughout the year 
and have significant barriers to implementing some of the common 
adaptation options, such as relocation or replacing tree species/
cultivar; agronomic interventions on-farm are well used in high-
value tree crops and provide some climate resilience, but longer-term 
options will be needed (Glenn et  al., 2013; Mosedale et  al., 2016; 
Gunathilaka et al., 2018; Sugiura, 2019).

Many fruit and vegetable crops are water demanding, and adaptation 
responses relating to water management and access to irrigation 

water are crucial. Rainwater storage and deficit irrigation techniques 
are frequently mentioned as adaptation options and can minimise the 
burden on off-farm water supplies (Bisbis et al., 2018; Acevedo et al., 
2020).

5.4.4.3  Cultivar improvements

As stated in AR5, cultivar improvements are one effective counter-
measure against climate change (Porter et al., 2014; Challinor et al., 
2016; Atlin et  al., 2017). Plant breeding biotechnology for climate 
change adaptation draws upon modern biotechnology and con-
ventional breeding, with the latter often assisted by genomics and 
molecular markers. Plant breeding biotechnology will contribute to 
adaptation for large-scale producers (

high confidence

). However, in 

addition to inconsistencies in meeting farmer expectations, a variety 
of socioeconomic and political variables strongly influence, and limit,

uptake of climate-resilient crops (Acevedo et al., 2020; Rhoné et al., 
2020).

Genome sequencing significantly increases the rate and accuracy 
for identifying genes of agronomic traits that are relevant to climate 
change, including adaptation to stress from pests and disease, 
temperature and water extremes (

high confidence

) (Brozynska et al., 

2016; Scheben et al., 2016; Voss-Fels and Snowdon, 2016). Access to 
this information where it is needed and in practical timeframes, as well 
as the expertise to use it, will limit the sharing of benefits by the most 
vulnerable groups and countries (

high agreement

,

 limited evidence

) 

(Heinemann et al., 2018).

Genetic improvements for climate change adaptation using modern 
biotechnology have not reliably translated into the field (Hu and Xiong, 
2014; Nuccio et al., 2018; Napier et al., 2019), but good progress has 
been made by conventional breeding. Desirable traits that adapt plants 
to environmental stress are inherited as a complex of genes, each of 
which makes a small contribution to the trait (Negin and Moshelion, 
2017). Adaptation by conventional breeding requires making rapid 
incremental changes in the best germplasm to keep pace with the 
environment (Millet et al., 2016; Atlin et al., 2017; Cobb et al., 2019). 
Further improvements would be difficult without 

in situ

 and 

ex situ

 

conservation of plant genetic resources to maintain critical germplasm 
for breeding (Dempewolf et al., 2014; Castañeda-Álvarez et al., 2016).

Despite the advances in sequencing, phenotyping remains a significant 
bottleneck (Ghanem et al., 2015; Negin and Moshelion, 2017; Araus 
and Kefauver, 2018); the emergence of high-throughput phenotyping 
platforms may reduce this bottleneck in future. Emerging modern 
biotechnology such as gene/genome editing may in the future increase 
the ability to better translate genetic improvements into the field 

(medium agreement

,

 limited evidence)

 (Puchta, 2017; Yamamoto 

et al., 2018; Friedrichs et al., 2019; Kawall, 2019; Zhang et al., 2019b).

Other breeding approaches assisted by genomics have been making 
steady gains in introducing traits that adapt crops to climate 
change (

high confidence

). DNA sequence information is used to 

identify markers of desirable traits that can be enriched in breeding 
programmes, as well as to quantify the genetic variability in species 
(Gepts, 2014; Brozynska et al., 2016; Voss-Fels and Snowdon, 2016). 
However, breeding for smallholder farmers and the stresses caused by 
climate change are unlikely to be addressed by the private sector and 
will require more public investment and adjusting to the local social-
ecological system (Glover, 2014; Heinemann et  al., 2014; Acevedo 
et al., 2020). Modern biotechnology has not demonstrated the scale 
neutrality needed to serve smallholder-dominated agroecosystems, 
due to a combination of the kinds of traits and restrictions that come 
from the predominant intellectual property rights instruments used in 
their commercialisation, as well as the focus on a small number of 
major crop species (

medium confidence) 

(Fischer, 2016; Montenegro 

de Wit et al., 2020).

Globally, there is a notable lack of programmes aimed specifically at 
breeding for climate resilience in fruits and vegetables, although there 
have been calls to begin this process (Kole et al., 2015). Breeding for 
climate resilience in vegetables has great potential given the range 
of crop species available. Tolerance to abiotic stress is reasonably 
advanced in pulses (Araújo et  al., 2015; Varshney et  al., 2018), but 
examples of translation to commercial cultivars are still limited 
(Varshney et  al., 2018; Varshney et  al., 2019). The infrastructure for 
germplasm collection, maintenance, testing and breeding lags behind 
that of major crops (partly because of the large number of species 
involved) (Keatinge et al., 2016; Atlin et al., 2017).

Sorghum and pearl 
millet

 

– Released sorghum and millet varieties which were selected for climate variability (e.g., drought), low soil fertility, pest and disease 

resistance, gendered preferences for processing, and nutrition (Camacho-Henriquez et al., 2015; Weltzien et al., 2019).

 

– Farmers who adopted these varieties increased yield, income and food security, alongside increased technical knowledge of plant 

breeding, and increased breeders’ understanding of local farmers’ varietal requirements (Trouche et al., 2016).

 

– Joint learning with scientists led to increased genetic gain both in terms of operational scale and focused breeding for diverse 

farmer priorities (Weltzien et al., 2019).

South America (Andes)

Potato

 

– PPB with Indigenous Quechua and Aymara farmers resulted in potato varieties with traits from wild relatives, with yield stability, 

higher yields under low input use and disease resistance under climate change impacts such as increased hail or frost events and 
upward expansion of pests and diseases (Camacho-Henriquez et al., 2015; Scurrah et al., 2019).

Asia (southwest China)

Maize

 

– PPB done primarily with women farmers, led to 1500 landraces safeguarded, 12 farmer-preferred varieties released and 30 landraces 

released, bred for improved yield (15–20% increases), drought resistance, taste, market potential and other priority traits (Song 
et al., 2019).

 

– Studies suggest PPB improved farmer knowledge, income and access to resilient seeds, and strengthened institutions such as 

women-led farmer cooperatives and Farmers’ Seed Network of China (Song et al., 2019).

Benefits, trade-offs and constraints to implementation with examples

Crop diversification

 

– Diversifying revenue streams and food supply (portfolio 

effect).

 

– Can impact multiple plant and soil biological and 

physicochemical properties associated with building 
SOM, improving soil structure and water conservation.

 

– Crop diversification reduces cereal crop sensitivity to 

precipitation variability

, yield losses and crop insurance payouts 

under 

drought

 (

high confidence

) (McDaniel et al., 2014; Williams et al., 2016; Iizumi and Wagai, 2019; Renwick et al., 2020; 

Huang et al., 2021; Kane et al., 2021).

 

– For example, a study in Canada comparing diversified rotations and monoculture corn found significant positive yield 

impacts, yield stability and increased SOC under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 by 2100 (Jarecki et al., 2018).

 

– Diverse agroecosystems with a range of native, neglected and introduced species, often maintained through Indigenous 

knowledge and farmer seed systems, offer adaptation opportunities in some regions (

medium evidence

,

 high agreement

)

 

(Bezner Kerr, 2014; Westengen and Brysting, 2014; Camacho-Henriquez et al., 2015; Ghosh-Jerath et al., 2015; Adhikari 
et al., 2017; Li and Siddique, 2018; Scurrah et al., 2019).

 

– Diversified landscapes can also enhance CES, by supporting cultural heritage crops, recreational and aesthetic experiences 

(

medium confidence

) (Novikova et al., 2017; Martínez-Paz et al., 2019; Alcon et al., 2020).

 

– Diversified cropping systems often require new knowledge, equipment access to inputs and viable markets for new 

products (van Zonneveld et al., 2020). Barriers to diversification, or those which support agroecosystem simplification, 
include environmental constraints such as elevation or soil type, along with institutional constraints such as low research 
investment, limited policy support, subsidies that encourage monocrops, poor market access, market instability and limited 
access to seeds (Kaushal and Muchomba, 2015; DeLonge et al., 2016; Burchfield and de la Poterie, 2018).

Legume diversification

 can be effective for both 

mitigation and adaptation, by reducing 

use of nitrogen 

derived from fossil fuels

, and meat consumption, and 

providing ecosystem services through 

nutrient cycling, 

increasing soil biological activity and erosion control

 

(Snapp et al., 2019).

 

– Can increase food security and nutrition by increasing cereal productivity and stability in intercropped systems, diversify 

diets and increase income in crop sales (

high agreement, medium evidence

) (Snapp et al., 2019; Steward et al., 2019; 

Renwick et al., 2020), but legume production may be constrained by pest, disease, limited access to genetic material, 
market access and food preferences (Anders et al., 2020).

Organic amendments, no/low tillage or crop residue 
retention

 may increase diversity in soil biological 

organisms, which might be important in building resilience 
to multiple stresses such as 

drought and pest pressure

 

(Furze et al., 2017; Blundell et al., 2020; de Vries et al., 
2020; Stefan et al., 2021; Yang et al., 2021).

 

– Higher organic matter does not consistently improve soil hydraulic properties (Minasny and McBratney, 2018; Basche and 

DeLonge, 2019).

 

– Can decrease 

yield variability under dry conditions

 and increase rainfed annual crop yield productivity (

high 

agreement

) (Pittelkow et al., 2014; Williams et al., 2016; Williams et al., 2018; Degani et al., 2019; Steward et al., 2019; 

Bowles et al., 2020; Marini et al., 2020; Sanford et al., 2021).

Participatory plant breeding (PPB) facilitates interaction between 
Indigenous and local knowledge systems and scientific research and 
can be an effective adaptation strategy in generating varieties well 
adapted to the socio-ecological context and climate hazards (

confidence

) (Table  5.5, Westengen and Brysting, 2014; Humphries 

et al., 2015; Anderson et al., 2016; Migliorini et al., 2016; Leitão et al., 
2019; Ceccarelli and Grando, 2020; Singh et al., 2020).

5.4.4.4  Integrated approach to enhance agroecosystem 

resilience

Diversifying agricultural systems is an adaptation strategy that can 
strengthen resilience to climate change, with socioeconomic and 
environmental co-benefits, but trade-offs and benefits vary by socio-
ecological context (

high confidence

) (Table  5.6, M’Kaibi et  al., 2015; 

Bellon et  al., 2016; Jones, 2017b; Schulte et  al., 2017; Jarecki et  al., 
2018; Jones et al., 2018; Luna-Gonzalez and Sorensen, 2018; Sibhatu 
and Qaim, 2018; Renard and Tilman, 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; 
Bozzola and Smale, 2020; Mulwa and Visser, 2020). Crop diversification 
alongside livestock, fish and other species can be applied at various 
scales in a range of systems, from rainfed or irrigated to urban and home 
gardens in multiple spatial and temporal arrangements such as mixed 
planting, intercrops, crop rotation, diversified management of field 
margins, agroforestry (Section 5.10.1.3) and integrated crop livestock 
systems (Section 5.10.1.1, Isbell et al., 2017; Kremen and Merenlender, 
2018; Dainese et al., 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Hussain et al., 
2020; Renwick et al., 2020; Tamburini et al., 2020; Snapp et al., 2021; 
see Section 5.14 and Cross-Chapter Box NATURAL in Chapter 2).

Diversification improves regulating and supporting ecosystem services 
such as pest control, soil fertility and health, pollination, nutrient 
cycling, water regulation and buffering of temperature extremes (

high 

confidence

) (Barral et al., 2015; Prieto et al., 2015; Tiemann et al., 2015; 

Schulte et al., 2017; Beillouin et al., 2019a; Dainese et al., 2019; Kuyah 
et al., 2019; Tamburini et al., 2020), which can in turn mediate yield 
stability and reduced risk of crop loss according to socio-ecological 
contexts and time since adoption (

high confidence

) (Prieto et al., 2015; 

Roesch-McNally et al., 2018; Sida et al., 2018; Williams et al., 2018; 
Birthal and Hazrana, 2019; Degani et al., 2019; Amadu et al., 2020; 
Bowles et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020; Sanford et al., 2021).

Agroecosystem diversification often has variable impacts depending 
on crop combination, agro-ecological zone and soil types, and rigorous 
assessments of adaptive gains with traditional and locally diversified 
systems and potential trade-offs still need to be conducted across 
socio-ecological contexts.  The quantitative upstanding will assist in 
enhancing multiple benefits of diversification tailored for each condition 
(Table  5.6). Progress is also needed via breeding and/or agronomy 
to adapt underutilised as well as major food crops to diversified 
agroecosystems and optimise management of nutrients, pest and 
disease pressure and other socio-ecological constraints (Araújo et al., 
2015; Foyer et al., 2016; Adams et al., 2018; Pang et al., 2018).

Managing for diversity and flexibility at multiple scales is central to 
developing adaptive capacity. Policies to support diversification include 
shifting subsidies towards diversified systems, public procurement for 
diverse foods for schools and other public institutions, investment 

in shorter value chains, lower insurance premiums and payments 
for ecosystem services that include diversification (Sorensen et  al., 
2015; Guerra et al., 2017; Nehring et al., 2017; Valencia et al., 2019). 
Integrated landscape approaches involving multiple stakeholders 
(Reed et  al., 2016) including urban governments can support 
diversification at a regional scale through public and private sector 
investment in extension services, regional supply chains, agritourism 
and other incentives for diversified landscapes (Milder et  al., 2014; 
Münke et  al., 2015; Sorensen et  al., 2015; Pérez-Marin et  al., 2017; 
Caron et al., 2018; 5.14.1.5).

5.5 

Livestock-Based Systems

Livestock systems may be classified as industrial (monogastric, 
ruminant), grassland-based in which crop-based agriculture is absent 
or minimal (pastoralism, agro-pastoralism), mixed rainfed combining 
mostly rainfed cropping with livestock, and mixed irrigated systems 
with a significant proportion of irrigated cropping interspersed with 
livestock. Livestock systems are located widely across all regions of the 
world, and animal-sourced food provides humans with 39% of their 
protein and 18% of their calorie intake (FAO, 2019 f). Some 400 million 
people depend on livestock for a substantial part of their livelihood 
(Robinson et al., 2011).

5.5.1 

Observed Impacts

Climate change affects livestock productivity and production in many 
ways (Porter et  al., 2014; Rojas-Downing et  al., 2017). Evidence is 
accumulating that rising temperatures are increasing heat stress in 
domestic species and affecting productivity (

high confidence

) (Das 

et al., 2016b; Godde et al., 2021).

5.5.1.1  Pastoral systems

Many grassland-based livestock systems are vulnerable to climate 
change and increases in climate variability (

high confidence

) (Dasgupta 

et  al., 2014; Sloat et  al., 2018; Stanimirova et  al., 2019). Decadal 
vegetation changes from warming and drying trends have been 
detected in North American grasslands, with implications for species 
composition, rangeland quality and economic viability of grazing 
livestock (Rondeau et  al., 2018; Reeves et  al., 2020). Feed quality 
in South Asian grasslands has been negatively affected, reducing 
food security (Rasul et  al., 2019). Increased grassland degradation 
has been observed in parts of Inner Mongolia (Nandintsetseg et al., 
2021). Changing seasonality, increasing frequency of drought and 
rising temperatures are affecting pastoral systems globally (

high 

confidence

). These and other drivers are reducing herd mobility, 

decreasing productivity, increasing incidence of vector borne diseases 
and parasites, and reducing access to water and feed (

5.5.1.2  Livestock distribution and climate variability

There is 

limited evidence

 of observed distributional changes in 

livestock species due to climate changes. Asian buffalo and yak breeds 
in China over the past 50 years have shifted distribution partly because 
of increases in heat stress (Wu, 2015; Wu, 2016). Nepalese cattle 
numbers have declined, attributed to increases in the number of hot 
days (Koirala and Shrestha, 2017).

Climate variability has been identified as the primary cause of 
vegetation cover changes on the Tibetan Plateau since 2000 (Lehnert 
et  al., 2016). Increasing inter-annual variability is a driver of farm 
extensification in Mediterranean dairy systems (Dono et al., 2016). In 
Australian rangelands (Godde et al., 2019) and dairy systems (Harrison 
et  al., 2016; Harrison et  al., 2017), increasing rainfall variability 
contributes more to stocking rate and profitability variability than 
changes in mean rainfall.

5.5.1.3  Diseases and disease vectors

Climate change is affecting the transmission of vector-borne diseases 
(Hutter et al., 2018; Semenza and Suk, 2018) and parasites (Rinaldi 
et al., 2015) in high latitudes (

high confidence

). Different processes link 

climate change and infectious diseases in domesticated livestock. Some 
show a positive association between temperature and range expansion 
of arthropod vectors that spread the bluetongue virus. Others show a 
contraction, such as tsetse flies that transmit trypanosome parasites 
of several livestock species. Positive associations have been found 
between temperature and the spread of pathogens such as anthrax, 
and droughts and ENSO weather patterns and Rift Valley fever 
outbreaks in East Africa (Bett et al., 2017). Observed range expansion 
of economically important tick disease vectors in North America 
(Sonenshine, 2018) and Africa (Nyangiwe et al., 2018) are presenting 
new public health threats to humans and livestock.

5.5.2 

Assessing Vulnerabilities

5.5.2.1  Rising temperature and heat stress

Most domestic livestock have comfort zones in the range 10–30°C, 
depending on species and breed (Nardone et  al., 2006). At higher 
temperatures, animals eat 3–5% less per additional degree of 
temperature, reducing their productivity and fertility. Heat stress 
suppresses the immune and endocrine system, enhancing susceptibility 
of the animal to disease (Das et  al., 2016b). Recent stagnation in 
dairy production in West Africa and China may be associated with 
increased periods of high daily temperatures (

low confidence

) 

(Rahimi et al., 2020; Ranjitkar et al., 2020). Increases in the productive 
capacity of domestic animals can compromise thermal acclimation 
and plasticity, creating further loss. Escalating demand for livestock 
products in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs) may necessitate 
considerable adaptation in the face of new thermal environments 
(

medium confidence

) (Collier and Gebremedhin, 2015; Theusme et al., 

2021). Heat effects on productivity have been summarised for pigs 
(da Fonseca de Oliveira et al., 2019), sheep and goats (Sejian et al., 
2018), and cattle (Herbut et  al., 2019). The direct effects of higher 

temperatures on the smaller ruminants (sheep and goats) are relatively 
muted, compared with large ruminants; goats are better able to cope 
with multiple stressors than sheep (Sejian et al., 2018). Under SSP5-8.5 
to mid-century, land suitability for livestock production will decrease 
because of increased heat stress prevalence in mid and lower latitudes 
(

high confidence

) (Thornton et al., 2021).

5.5.2.2  Livestock water needs

Livestock production may account for 30% of all water (blue, green 
and grey) used in agriculture (Mekonnen and Hoekstra, 2010) and can 
negatively affect water quality. Cropland feed production accounts 
for 38% of crop water consumption (Weindl et al., 2017). High-input 
livestock systems may consume more water than grazing or mixed 
systems, though water used per kg beef produced, for example, depends 
on country, context and system (Noya et al., 2019). In systems where 
feed production is rainfed, livestock and crop water productivity may 
be comparable (Haileslassie et al., 2009). Direct water consumption by 
livestock is <1–2% of global water consumption (Hejazi et al., 2014). 
Rising temperatures increase animal water needs, potentially affecting 
access of herders and livestock to drinking water sources (Flörke et al., 
2018).

5.5.2.3  Rising temperatures and livestock disease

Climate change will have effects on future distribution, incidence 
and severity of climate-sensitive infectious diseases of livestock (

high 

confidence

) (Bett et al., 2017). In an assessment of climate sensitivity 

of European human and domestic animal infectious pathogens, 63% 
were sensitive to rainfall and temperature, and zoonotic pathogens 
were more climate-sensitive than human- or animal-only pathogens 
(McIntyre et al., 2017). Over the last 75 years, >220 emerging zoonotic 
diseases, some associated with domesticated livestock, have been 
identified, several of which may be affected by climate change, 
particularly vector-borne diseases (Vaillancourt and Ogden, 2016; 
see Cross-Chapter Box  ILLNESS in Chapter 2). Walsh et  al. (2018) 
identified both temperature and rainfall as influential factors in 
predicting increasing anthrax outbreaks in northern latitudes. Growing 
infectious disease burdens in domesticated animals may have wide-
ranging impacts on the vulnerability of rural livestock producers in the 
future, particularly related to human health and projected increases 
in zoonoses (

high confidence

) (Bett et  al., 2017; Heffernan, 2018; 

Rushton et al., 2018; Meade et al., 2019).

5.5.2.4  Livestock and socioeconomic vulnerability to climate 

change

There is 

limited evidence

 about the role of livestock in addressing 

socioeconomic vulnerability. Although agriculture in parts of North 
America has become more sensitive to climate over the last 50 years, 
livestock have helped to moderate this effect, being less sensitive to 
increasing temperatures than some specialised crop systems (Ortiz-
Bobea et  al., 2018). Increasing frequency and severity of droughts 
will affect the future economic viability of grassland-based livestock 
production in the North American Great Plains (Briske et  al., 2021). 
Purchasing more forage and selling more livestock have reduced 
household vulnerability in semi-arid parts of China over the last 

Page 36

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

35  years (Bai et  al., 2019). A greater focus on sheep production 
away from cropping has increased the resilience of farming systems 
in Western Australia in low-rainfall years, although with mixed 
environmental effects (Ghahramani and Bowran, 2018). More insights 
are needed as to where and how livestock can affect the vulnerability 
of farmers and pastoralists.

5.5.2.5  Effects of climate on the health and vulnerability of 

livestock keepers

Vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change will be shaped 
by existing burdens of ill health and is expected to be highest in poor 
and socioeconomically marginalised populations (

high agreement

,

 

limited evidence

) (Labbé et al., 2016). In addition to projected changes 

in infectious disease burdens, labour capacity in a warming climate is 
anticipated to decrease further, beyond the >5% drop estimated since 
2000 (Watts et al., 2018). Loss of labour capacity may greatly increase 
the vulnerability of subsistence livestock keepers (

high agreement

, 

limited evidence

).

5.5.2.6  Gender and other social inequities

Vulnerability to climate change depends on demography and social 
roles (Mbow et al., 2019). Gender inequities can act as a risk multiplier, 
with women being more vulnerable than men to climate-change-
induced food insecurity and related risks (

high confidence

) (Cross-

Chapter Box  GENDER in Chapter 18). Women and men often have 
differential and unequal control over different productive assets and 
the benefits they provide, such as income from livestock (Ngigi et al., 
2017; Musinguzi et  al., 2018). Indigenous livestock keepers can be 
more vulnerable to climate change, partly due to ongoing processes of 
land fragmentation (Hobbs et al., 2008), historical land dispossession, 
discrimination and colonialisation, creating greater levels of poverty 
and marginalisation (Stephen, 2018). Adaptation actions may also be 
affected by gender and other social inequities (Balehey et al., 2018; 
Dressler et al., 2019). Men and women heads of household may access 
institutional support for adaptation in different ways (Assan et  al., 
2018). Further research is warranted to evaluate alternative gendered 
and equity-based approaches that can address differences in adaptive 
capacity within communities.

5.5.3 

Projected Impacts

There is 

limited evidence

 on future impact of climate change on 

livestock production, particularly in LMICs (Rivera-Ferre et al., 2016).

5.5.3.1  Impacts on rangelands, feeds and forages

Uncertainties persist regarding estimates of net primary productivity 
(NPP) in grazing lands (Fetzel et  al., 2017; Chen et  al., 2018b), so 
estimation of climate change impacts on grasslands is challenging. 
Mean global annual NPP is projected to decline 10 gC m

−2

 yr

−1

 in 

2050 under RCP8.5, although herbaceous NPP is projected to increase 
slightly (Boone et al., 2018; see Figure 5.11). Similar estimates were 
made by Havlik et  al. (2014): large increases in projected NPP in 
higher northern latitudes (21% increase in the USA and Canada) 

and large declines in western Africa (−46%) and Australia (−17%). 
The cumulative effects of impacts on forage productivity globally are 
projected to result in 7–10% declines in livestock numbers by 2050 for 
warming of ~2°C, representing a loss of livestock assets ranging from 
USD 10 to 13 billion (Boone et al., 2018). Changes to African grassland 
productivity will have substantial, negative impacts on the livelihoods 
of >180 million people.

Increases in above-ground NPP, and woody cover at the expense 
of grassland, are projected in some of the tropical and subtropical 
drylands (Doherty et al., 2010; Ravi et al., 2010; Saki et al., 2018), in 
Mediterranean wood pastures (Rolo and Moreno, 2019) and in the 
northern Great Plains of North America (Klemm et al., 2020). Godde 
et al. (2021) projected that woody encroachment would occur on 51% 
of global rangeland area by 2050 under RCP8.5. The future makeup of 
grasslands under climate change is uncertain, given the variation in 
responses of the component species, though this variation may provide 
a climate buffer (Jones, 2019) (

low confidence

). C4 grass species are 

regarded as less responsive to elevated carbon dioxide than C3 species, 
though this is not always the case (Reich et al., 2018).

There are other interactions between climate change and grazing 
effects on grasslands. Li (2018a) reported strong negative responses 
of NPP and species richness to 4°C warming, a 50% precipitation 
decrease, and high grazing intensity. Changes in grassland composition 
will inevitably change their suitability for different grazing animal 
species, with switches from herbaceous grazers such as cattle to goats 
and camels to take advantage of increases in shrubland (Kagunyu 
and Wanjohi, 2014). Rangeland feed quality may also be reduced via 
invasive species of lower quality than native species (Blumenthal et al., 
2016).

Warming and water deficits impair the quality and digestibility of a 
C4 tropical forage grass, 

Panicum maximum

,

 

because of increases in 

leaf lignin (Habermann et al., 2019). A metanalysis by Dellar (2018) 
of climate change impacts on European pasture yield and quality 
found an increase in above-ground dry weight under increased 
CO

2

 concentrations for forbs, legumes, graminoids and shrubs 

with reductions in N concentrations in all plant functional groups. 
Temperature increases will increase yields in alpine and northern areas 
(+82.6%) but reduce N concentrations for shrubs (−13.6%) and forbs 
(−18.5%).

Increased temperatures and CO

2

 concentrations may increase 

herbaceous growth and favour legumes over grasses in mixed pastures 
(He et al., 2019). These effects may be modified by changes in rainfall 
patterns, plant competition, perennial growth habits and plant–animal 
interactions. The cumulative effect of these factors is uncertain. Large, 
persistent declines in forage quality are projected, irrespective of 
warming, under elevated CO

2 

conditions (600 ppm and +1.5°C day/3°C 

night temperature increases) in North American grasslands (Augustine 
et al., 2018). Rising CO

2

 concentrations may result in losses of iron, zinc 

and protein in plants by up to 8% by 2050 (Smith and Myers, 2018). 
Little information is available on possible impacts on carbon-based 
micronutrients, such as vitamins. About 57% of grasses globally are C3 
plants and thus susceptible to CO

2

 effects on their nutritional quality 

(Osborne et al., 2014). These impacts will result in greater nutritional

5.5.3.2  Impacts of increased temperature on livestock

Recent research confirms the seriousness of the heat stress issue

 

(

). Considerable increases are 

projected during this century in the number of ‘extreme stress’ days per

but many fewer with SSP1-2.6 (Thornton et al., 2021: Figure 5.12; see 
Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE in this chapter). Resulting impacts 
on livestock production and productivity may be large, particularly for 
cattle throughout the tropics and subtropics and for goats in parts 
of Latin America and much of Africa and Asia. Pigs are projected to 
be particularly affected in the mid-latitudes of Europe, East Asia and

North America. Lallo et al. (2018) estimated that global warming of 
1.5°C and 2°C may exceed limits for normal thermo-regulation of 
livestock animals and result in persistent heat stress for animals in the 
Caribbean. Breed differences in heat stress resistance in dairy animals 
are now being quantified (Gantner et al., 2017), as are effects on sow 
reproductive performance in temperate climates (Wegner et al., 2016). 
Estimates of losses in milk production due to heat stress in parts of 
the USA, UK and West Africa to the end of the century range from 
1% to 17% (Hristov et  al., 2018; Fodor et  al., 2018; Wreford and 
Topp, 2020; Rahimi et al., 2020). Much larger losses in dairy and beef 
production due to heat stress are projected for many parts of the 
tropics and subtropics: these could amount to USD 9 billion per year 
for dairy and USD 31 billion per for beef to end-century under SSP5-
8.5, approximately 5% and 14% of the global value of production of 
these commodities in constant 2005 dollars.

In many LMICs, poultry contribute significantly to rural livelihoods, 
including via modest improvements in nutritional outcomes of house-
hold children (de Bruyn et al., 2018). Rural poultry are generally as-
sumed to be hardy and well adapted to stressful environments, but 
little information exists regarding their performance under warmer 
climates or interactions with other production challenges (Nyoni et al., 
2019).

5.5.3.3  Impacts on livestock diseases

The impacts of climate change on livestock diseases remain highly un-
certain (

,

 high agreement

). Bett et al. (2017) showed 

positive associations between rising temperature and expansion of the 

geographical ranges of arthropod vectors such as 

Culicoides imicola

, 

which transmits the bluetongue virus. A 1-in-20-year bluetongue out-
break at present-day temperatures is projected to increase in frequen-
cy to 1-in-5 to 1-in-7 years by the 2050s, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, 
although animal movement restrictions can prevent devastating out-
breaks (Jones et al., 2019).

The prevalence and occurrence of some livestock diseases are positively 
associated with extreme weather events (

high risks of future Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks under both RCP4.5 
and RCP8.5 this century in East Africa and beyond (Taylor et al., 2016;

Few studies explicitly consider the biotic and abiotic factors that 
interact additively, multiplicatively or antagonistically to influence 
host–pathogen dynamics (Cable et al., 2017). Integrative concepts that 
aim to improve the health of people, animals and the environment such 
as One Health may offer a framework for enhancing understanding 
of these complex interactions (Zinsstag et  al., 2018). Much remains 
unknown concerning disease transmission dynamics under a warming 
climate (Heffernan, 2018), highlighting the need for effective 
monitoring of livestock disease (Brito et al., 2017; Hristov et al., 2018).

5.5.3.4  Impacts on livestock and water resources

Water resources for livestock may decrease in places because of 
increased runoff and reduced groundwater resources, as well as 
decreased groundwater availability in some environments (AR5). 
Increased temperatures will cause changes in river flow and the amount 
of water stored in basins, potentially leading to increased water stress 
in dry areas such as parts of the Volta River Basin (Mul et al., 2015). 
Toure (2017) estimated decreases in groundwater recharge rates of 
49% and of stored groundwater by 24% to the 2030s in the Klela 
Basin in Mali under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, with potentially serious 
consequences for water availability for livestock and irrigation.

Water intake by livestock is related to species, breed, animal size, age, 
diet, animal activity, temperature and physiological status of animals 
(Henry et al., 2018). Direct water use by cattle may increase by 13% for 
a temperature increase of 2.7°C in a subtropical region (Harle et al., 
2007). Changes in water availability may arise because of decreased 
supply or increased competition from other sectors. Availability 
changes may be accompanied by shifts in water quality, such as 
increased levels of microorganisms and algae, that can negatively 
affect livestock health (Naqvi et  al., 2015). In arid lands, projected 
decreases in water availability will severely compromise reproductive 
performance and productivity in sheep (Naqvi et al., 2017). In higher-
input livestock systems, water costs may increase substantially owing 
to increased competition for water (Rivera-Ferre et al., 2016).

5.5.3.5  Livestock and climate variability

Information on future climate variability changes on livestock system 
productivity does not exist yet. Increases in climate variability may 
increase food insecurity in the future, mediated through increased 
crop and livestock production variability (Thornton and Herrero, 2014) 
in LMICs. Rainfall variability increases in pastoral lands have been 
linked to declining cattle numbers (Megersa et al., 2014). Changes in 
future climate variability may have large negative impacts on livestock 
system outcomes (Sloat et al., 2018; Stanimirova et al., 2019); these 
effects can be larger than those associated with gradual climate 
change (

limited evidence

,

 medium agreement

) (Godde et al., 2019). 

In grasslands, Chang et al. (2017) (Europe) and Godde et al. (2020) 
(globally) projected increases in biomass inter-annual variability, 
the worst effects occurring in rangeland communities that are 
already vulnerable. Ways in which climate variability impacts have 
been addressed in the past, such as via herd mobility, may become 
increasingly unviable in the future (Hobbs et al., 2008).

5.5.3.6  Societal impacts within the production system

Livestock play important social (Kitalyi et  al., 2005) and cultural 
(Gandini and Villa, 2003) roles in many societies. Climate change will 
negatively affect the provisioning of social benefits in many of the 
world’s grasslands (

medium confidence

). Examples include moving to 

semi-private land ownership models, driven in part by climate change, 
that are changing social networks and limiting socio-ecological 
resilience in pastoral systems in East Africa (Kibet et al., 2016; Bruyere 
et  al., 2018) and Asia (Cao et  al., 2018a); altering traditional food, 
resource and medicine sharing mechanisms in West Africa (Boafo 
et  al., 2016); and the limited ability of current livestock systems to 
satisfy societies’ demand for CES in Northwest Europe (Bengtsson 
et  al., 2019). The societal impacts of climate change on livestock 
systems may interact with drivers of change and increase herders’ 
vulnerability via processes of sedentarisation and land fragmentation, 
both of which may result in decreased animal access to rangelands 
(Adhikari et al., 2015; Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). 
Stronger linkages are needed between ecosystem service and food 
security research and policy to address these challenges (Gentle and 
Thwaites, 2016; Bengtsson et al., 2019).

5.5.4 

Adaptation in Livestock-Based Systems

Livestock adaptation options are increasingly being studied with 
methods such as agent-based household models (Hailegiorgis et  al., 
2018), household models that disaggregate climate scenarios as 
well as differentiate farms of varying types and farmer attributes 
(Descheemaeker et al., 2018), new meso-scale grassland models (Boone 
et al., 2018) and modelling approaches that capture decision making at 
the farm level for sample populations (Henderson et al., 2018).

Many grassland-based livestock systems have been highly resilient 
to past climate risk, providing a sound starting point for current 
and future climate change adaptation (Hobbs et  al., 2008). These 
adaptations include more effective matching of stocking rates with 
pasture or other feed production; adjusting herd and watering point 
management to altered seasonal and spatial patterns of forage 
production; managing diet quality, which also helps reduce enteric 
fermentation in ruminants and thus GHG emissions (using diet 
supplements, legumes, choice of introduced pasture species and 
pasture fertility management); more effective use of silage, rotational 
grazing or other forms of pasture spelling; fire management to control 
woody thickening; using better-adapted livestock breeds and species; 
restoration of degraded pastureland; migratory pastoralist activities; 
and a wide range of biosecurity activities to monitor and manage the 
spread of pests, weeds and diseases (Herrero et al., 2015; Godde et al., 
2020). Combining adaptations can result in increases in benefits in 
terms of production and livelihoods over and above those attainable 
from single adaptations (

high confidence

) (Bonaudo et  al., 2014; 

Thornton and Herrero, 2015; ul Haq et al., 2021).

The adaptations that livestock keepers have been undertaking in Asia 
(Hussain et  al., 2016; Li et  al., 2017) and Africa (Belay et  al., 2017; 
Ouédraogo et al., 2017) are largely driven by their perceptions of climate 
change. Keeping two or more species of livestock simultaneously on

the same farm can confer economic and sustainability benefits to 
European farmers (Martin et al., 2020). Some livestock producers are 
changing and diversifying management practices, improving access to 
water sources, increasing uptake of off-farm activities, trading short-
term profits for longer-term resilience benefits and migrating out of 
the area (Hussain et al., 2016; Berhe et al., 2017; Merrey et al., 2018; 
Thornton et al., 2018; Espeland et al., 2020). Others are adopting more 
climate-resilient livestock species such as camels (Watson et al., 2016a), 
using climate forecasts at differing time scales, and benefitting from 
innovative livestock insurance schemes, though challenges remain in 
their use at scale (Dayamba et al., 2018; Hansen et al., 2019a; Johnson 
et al., 2019).

In West Africa, cattle and small ruminant producers and traders are 
changing strategies in response to emerging market opportunities as 
well as to multiple challenges including climate change (Gautier et al., 
2016; Ouédraogo et al., 2017). Niles (2017) found that reduced food 
insecurity in 12  countries was associated with livestock ownership, 
providing cash for food purchases. Livestock ownership or switching 
to smaller, local breeds does not automatically translate into positive 
nutrition outcomes for women and children, although it may if 
communities see such animals as suitable for husbandry by women 
(Chanamuto and Hall, 2015); the relationship is complex (Nyantakyi-
Frimpong and Bezner-Kerr, 2015; Dumas et al., 2018).

Options for adapting domestic livestock systems to increased exposure 
to heat stress (Table 5.7) include breeding and crossbreeding strategies, 
species switching, low-cost shading alternatives and ventilation and 

building-design options (Chang-Fung-Martel et al., 2017; Godde et al., 
2021). 

In utero

 exposure to heat stress may increase adaptive capacity 

in later life, though the underlying mechanisms are incompletely 
understood (Skibiel et  al., 2018). For confined livestock systems in 
temperate regions, the economic consequences of adapting to heat 
stress are still being quantified.

New research is investigating the prospects for accelerating traditional 
and novel breeding processes for animal traits that may be effective in 
improving livestock adaptation as well as production (Stranden et al., 
2019; Barbato et al., 2020). Even if the technical challenges of using 
new tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 for genome editing in livestock are 
overcome, the granting of societal approval to operate in this research 
space may be elusive (Herrero et al., 2020; Menchaca et al., 2020).

5.5.4.1  Contributions of Indigenous knowledge and local 

knowledge

Indigenous knowledge has a role to play in helping livestock 
keepers adapt (

medium confidence

), though the transferability of 

this knowledge is often unclear. Pastoralists’ local knowledge of 
climate and ecological change can complement scientific research 
(Klein et al., 2014), and local knowledge can be mobilised to inform 
adaptation decision making (Klenk et  al., 2017). While Indigenous 
weather forecasting systems among pastoralists in Ethiopia (Balehegn 
et al., 2019; Iticha and Husen, 2019) and Uganda (Nkuba et al., 2020) 
are effective, synergies can be gained by combining traditional 
and modern knowledge to help pastoralists adapt. Sophisticated

knowledge of feed resources among agro-pastoralists in West Africa 
is being used to increase system resilience (Naah and Braun, 2019). 
Understanding local knowledge for adaptation can present research 
challenges, for which new multi-disciplinary research methods may be 
needed (Reyes-Garcia et al., 2016; Roncoli et al., 2016). In particular, 
the complexities of knowledge, practice, power, local governance and 
politics need to be addressed (Hopping et al., 2016; Scoville-Simonds

Forestry Systems

Forests play a vital role in the ecology of the planet, including 
climate regulation, and provide a range of important ecosystem 
services within their local landscape. Moreover, they are essential 
to the well-being of millions of people around the world. Forests are 
sources of food contributing about 0.6% of global food consumption 
and provide important products, such as timber and non-timber 
forest products (NTFPs) (FAO, 2014). Indigenous Peoples and local 
communities are estimated to manage at least 17% of total carbon 
(or 293 × 10

9

 Mg) stored in forest in 64 assessed countries (RRI, 

2018a). While small in number, numerous local communities around 
the world are highly or entirely dependent on forests for their food 
supply (Karttunen et  al., 2017). An estimated 9% of the world’s 
rural population is lifted above the extreme poverty line because 
of income from forest resources (World Bank, 2016). Additionally, 
forest income plays a particularly important role in diversifying the 
income sources of poor households, reducing their vulnerability to 
loss from one source of income. This section covers an assessment 
of the impacts of climate change on forestry production systems and 
the adaptation options available. Non-timber forest products will be 
covered in the next section.

5.6.1 

Observed Impacts

The IPCC AR5 stated that there is high confidence that numerous 
plants and animal species have already migrated, changed their 
abundance, and shifted their seasonal activities as a result of climate 
change (Settele et al., 2014). The report highlighted the widespread 
deaths of trees in many forested areas of the world. Forest die back 
could significantly affect wood production among other impacts.

The SRCCL (Barbosa et al., 2019) concluded that climate change will 
have positive and negative effects on forests, with varying regional 
and temporal patterns. For example, the SRCCL noted the increasing 
productivity in high-latitude forests such as those in Siberia. In contrast, 
negative impacts are already being observed in other regions such as 
increasing tree mortality due to wildfires.

In the past years, tree mortality continued to increase in many parts 
of the world. Large pulses of tree mortality were consistently linked 
to warmer and drier than average conditions for forests throughout 
the temperate and boreal biomes (

high confidence

) (Sommerfeld 

et al., 2018; Seidl et al., 2020). Long-term monitoring of tropical forests 
indicates that climate change has begun to increase tree mortality and 
alter regeneration (Hubau et al., 2020; Sullivan et al., 2020). Climate-
related die back has also been observed due to novel interactions 
between the life cycles of trees and pest species (Kurz et  al., 2008; 
Lesk et  al., 2017; Sambaraju et  al., 2019). A recent example of the 
impacts of climatic extremes is the European drought of 2018 (Buras 
et al., 2020), which led to a significant browning of the vegetation and 
resulted in widespread tree mortality (

high confidence

) (Brun et  al., 

2020; Schuldt et  al., 2020). This brought markets for conifer timber 
close to collapse in parts of Europe, posing considerable challenges 
for timber-based forestry and leading to cascading impacts on society 
(Hlásny et  al., 2021). Overall, there is 

robust evidence

 and 

medium 

agreement

 that provisioning services of boreal and temperate forests 

are affected negatively by forest disturbances, while for cultural 

Box 5.5: Alternative Sources of Protein for Food and Feed

Alternative protein sources for human food and livestock feed are receiving considerable attention. Laboratory or ‘clean meat’ is one 
potential contributor to the human demand for protein in the future (SRCLL). Such technology may be highly disruptive to existing value 
chains but could lead to significant reduction in land use for pastures and crop-based animal feeds (Burton, 2019; Rosenzweig et al., 
2020). The impacts on GHG emissions depend on the meat being substituted and the trade-off between industrial energy consumption 
and agricultural land requirements (Mattick et al., 2015; Alexander et al., 2017; Rubio et al., 2020b; Santo et al., 2020). Livestock feeds 
can make use of other protein sources: insects are generally rich in protein and can be a significant source of vitamins and minerals. Black 
soldier fly, yellow mealworm and the common housefly have been identified for potential use in feed products in the EU, for example 
(Henchion et al., 2017). Replacing land-based crops in livestock diets with some proportion of insect-derived protein may reduce the 
GHG emissions associated with livestock production, though these and other potential effects have not yet been quantified (Parodi 
et al., 2018; Section 5.13.2). Other sources are high-protein woody plants such as paper mulberry (Du et al., 2021) and algae, including 
seaweed. While microalgae and cyanobacteria are mainly sold as a dietary supplement for human consumption, they are also used as a 
feed additive for livestock and aquaculture, being nutritionally comparable to vegetable proteins. The potential for cultivated seaweed as 
a feed supplement may be even greater: some red and green seaweeds are rich in highly digestible protein. 

Asparagopsis taxiformis

, for 

example, also decreases methane production in both cattle and sheep when used as a feed supplement (Machado et al., 2016; Li et al., 
2018b). Novel protein sources may have considerable potential for sustainably delivering protein for food and feed alike, though their 
nutritional, environmental, technological and socioeconomic impacts at scale need to be researched and evaluated further.

services only 

limited evidence

 with 

medium agreement

 exists (Thom 

and Seidl, 2016).

Increasingly, climate impacts on the recovery of forests after disturbance 
are observed: using data from the past 20 years and 33 wildfires, it 
has been shown that post-fire regeneration of 

Pinus ponderosa

 and 

Pseudotsuga menziesii

 in the western USA has declined because of 

climate change and increased severity of fires (Davis et  al., 2019). 
However, the observed patterns of post-disturbance recovery vary with 
region, with reduced tree regeneration reported for the western USA 
(Stevens-Rumann and Morgan, 2019; Turner et al., 2019) but robust 
recovery observed in Canada (White et al., 2017) and Central Europe 
(

medium confidence

) (Senf et al., 2019).

Also, the distribution and traits of trees are increasingly influenced by 
climate change, with impacts for local ecosystem service supply. In the 
USA, a study of 86 tree species/groups over the past three decades 
showed that more tree species have shifted westward (73%) than 
poleward (62%) in their abundance (Fei et al., 2017). This was due more 
to changes in moisture availability than to changes in temperature. 
As climate has warmed, trees are growing faster with longer growing 
seasons. However, a study of forests in Central Europe revealed that 
wood density has decreased since the 1870s (Pretzsch et al., 2018). 
This means that increasing tree growth might not directly translate to 
increased total biomass and carbon sequestration.

5.6.2 

Projected Impacts

AR5 stated that other stressors such as human-driven land use change 
and pollution will continue to be the main causes of forest cover change 
in the next three decades (Settele et al., 2014). In the second half of 
this century, it was projected that climate change will be a strong 
stressor of change in forest ecosystems. Many forest species may not 
be able to move fast enough to adjust to new climate conditions. In 
some cases, a warmer climate could lead to extinction of species.

The SR15 concluded that limiting warming to 1.5°C will be more 
favourable to terrestrial ecosystems, including forests, relative to a 2°C 
warming (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2018). In general, a 2°C warming could 
lead to two times more area of biome shifts compared with a 1.5°C 
warming. As a result, keeping a cooler average global temperature 
will lead to lower extinction risks. The special report supports the AR5 
conclusion that a warmer planet will impact wide swaths of forests 
adversely. For example, higher temperatures will promote fire, drought 
and insect disturbances. Consistent with AR5, SRCCL projected that 
tree mortality will increase with climate change (Barbosa et al., 2019). 
In addition, forests will be more exposed to extreme events such as 
extreme heat, droughts and storms. The incidence of forest fires will 
likewise increase.

Additional evidence since the above reports were published supports 
their overall conclusions. For example, at the global scale, modelling the 
vulnerability of 387 forest ecoregions under future climate change (to 
2080 using the average of five Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and 
RCP4.5 and 8.5) across different biomes, biogeographical realms and 
conservation statuses showed that 8.8% of global forest ecoregions 

are highly vulnerable in a low-greenhouse-gas-concentration scenario, 
and 32.6% of the global forest ecoregions are highly vulnerable in 
a high-greenhouse-gas-concentration scenario (Wang et  al., 2019a). 
Furthermore, a recent synthesis of the literature suggests that climate 
change will result in younger and shorter forests globally (McDowell 
et al., 2020). In Asia, a systematic review of climate change impacts 
on tropical forests revealed that future climate may lead to changes 
in species distribution and forest structure and composition as well as 
phenology (Deb et al., 2018).

Overall, studies indicate both negative and positive climate change 
impacts on forest production systems. Some forests in the USA 
could benefit slightly from CO

2

 fertilisation (using IGSM-CAM and 

MIROC3.2 till 2100) resulting in increased productivity especially for 
hardwoods (Beach et al., 2015). A study across Europe showed that 
both productivity gains (mostly in Northern and Central Europe, up to 
+33%) and losses (predominately in Southern Europe, up to −37%) 
are possible until the end of the 21st century (Reyer et al., 2017). The 
study further indicated that disturbances would reduce gains and 
exacerbate losses of productivity throughout Europe under climate 
change (Reyer et al., 2017). For Central and Eastern Canada, decreasing 
biomass production is projected as a result of increasing disturbance 
from wildfire and drought (Brecka et  al., 2020). Climate-induced 
disturbances could also reduce the temporal stability of ecosystem 
service supply (Albrich et al., 2018), increasing the volatility of timber 
markets (

medium confidence

). More broadly, climate change could 

lead to abrupt changes and the crossing of tipping points, resulting 
in profoundly altered future forest development trajectories (Turner 
et al., 2020). Some studies suggest that such threshold could already 
be crossed at relatively low warming levels of +2°C (Elkin et al., 2013; 
Albrich et  al., 2020), with substantial implications for ecosystem 
service supply (

limited evidence

,

 high agreement

).

Regional studies on the potential future effects of climate change 
on forest production systems indicate diverse impacts. In Germany, 
drier conditions in 2070 (RCP8.5; GCMs INM-CM4, ECHAM6 and 
ACCESS1.0) are expected to benefit the mean annual increment at 
biological rotation age of Scots pine and oak, while beech might 
suffer losses of up to 3 m

 depending on climate scenario 

and region (Albert et al., 2018). In India, 46% of the forest grid points 
were found to have high, very high or extremely high vulnerability 
under future climate in the short term (2030s) under both RCP4.5 
and 8.5, increasing to 49% and 54%, respectively, in the long term 
(2080s) (Sharma et al., 2017). In addition, forests in the higher rainfall 
zones show lower vulnerability as compared with drier forests under 
future climate, which is in contrast to dry forests in Central and South 
America cited above. Warming and drying trends are projected to 
reduce timber production in the neotropics in some cases (Hiltner 
et al., 2021). Also in India, a study using CMIP5 (RCP4.5 and 8.5 with 
two time slices 2021–2050 and 2070–2099) shows how forests in 
five districts in Himachal Pradesh in Western Himalayan region are 
vulnerable to global warming (Upgupta et al., 2015). In the Guiana 
Shield, climate projections under RCP2.5 and 8.5 led to decreasing 
the basal area, above-ground fresh biomass, quadratic diameter, tree 
growth and mortality rates of tropical forests (Aubry-Kientz et  al., 
2019). In Central Africa, projections under RCP4.5 and 8.5 showed 
a general increase in growth, mortality and recruitment leading to

a strong natural thinning effect, with different magnitudes across 
species (Claeys et al., 2019).

On a global and regional scale, there is 

limited evidence

 and 

high 

agreement

 (

medium confidence

) that climate change will increase 

global and regional supply of timber and other forest products. To date, 
there are eight studies assessing the total economic impacts of climate 
change on the forestry sector at the global level. Some of them have 
assumed only flow effects of climate change by using the projected 
changes in yields of forest types from integrated economic models 
(Perez-Garcia et  al., 1997; Perez-Garcia et  al., 2002; Buongiorno, 
2015), while other studies have assumed both flow and stock effects 
by accounting for changes in forest yields, die back effects and biome 
migration (Sohngen et al., 2001; Lee and Lyon, 2004; Tian et al., 2016; 
Favero et al., 2018; Favero et al., 2021).

According to these studies, global timber supply will increase as the 
result of an increase in global forest growth under climate change 
scenarios (

medium confidence

). Some studies indicate that timber 

supply is projected to increase more in tropical and subtropical areas 
because of the assumed availability of short-rotation species which 
might could adaptation easier for forest owners in these regions 
relative to others (Sohngen et al., 2001; Perez-Garcia et al., 2002; Tian 
et al., 2016), while others indicate that temperate areas will experience 
the largest increase in supply (Favero et al., 2018; Favero et al., 2021). 
The results are very sensitive to the climate change scenarios tested, 
the climate and vegetation models used and the climate drivers that 
are considered. For example, Tian et al. (2016) and Favero et al. (2018; 
2021) used the same economic model (the global timber model) but 
different climate scenarios and vegetation models, obtaining different 
results.

The increasing supply induces lower global timber prices (

medium 

confidence

). Studies estimate that the prices will decline between 

1% and 38% in 2100 with respect to a no climate change scenario 
depending on the model and the climate change scenario assumed 
(climate change is represented as a change in GHG concentration, 
global average temperature or radiative forcing) (Favero et al., 2018; 
Favero et  al., 2021). Clearly, further studies are needed considering 
a wider set of vegetation and climate models and incorporating the 
impacts of extreme events (such as droughts and wildfires).

There are a number of national and regional scale studies exploring 
the impact of climate change on yields and markets of wood products, 
with mixed results. In Finland, it is projected that timber yield in the 
north will increase in Scots pine and birch stands by 33–145% and 
42–123%, compared with the current climate, depending on the 
GCM and thinning regime using a 90-year rotation (10 individual 
GCM projections under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 forcing scenarios) 
(ALRahahleh et  al., 2018). However, in Norway spruce stands, yield 
could decline by up to 35%, under GFDL-CM3 RCP8.5 and increase 
by up to 39%, under CNRM-CM5 RCP8.5, compared with the current 
climate.

In Germany, timber harvest was projected to increase slightly (<10%) 
in 2045 using the process-based forestry model (4C) driven by three 
management strategies (nature protection, biomass production and a 
baseline management) and an ensemble of regional climate scenarios 
(RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) (Gutsch et  al., 2018). Similarly, average 
production of pulpwood in slash pine stands in the southeastern USA 
are projected to increase by 7.5 m

 for all climatic scenarios using 

the Physiological Processes Predicting Growth (3-PG) forest growth 
model by 2100 (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5; CanESM2) (Susaeta and Lal, 2018).

Box 5.6: Contributions of Indigenous and Local Knowledge: An Example

Indigenous and local people have long histories of adaptation to climate hazards in forests (see Eriksen and Hankins, 2014; Neale et al., 
2019; Bourke et al., 2020; Long et al., 2020; Williamson, 2021 for notable examples in Australia and North America). In this section, we 
present a North American example of an indigenous adaptation practice developed by the Karuk Tribe in northern California. The Karuk 
Climate Adaptation Plan focuses on the use of cultural fire as climate adaptation, places a central importance on restoring human 
ecological caretaking responsibilities, and emphasises the need for collaboration, public education and policy advocacy to achieve these 
outcomes.

The Karuk Climate Adaptation Plan utilises a combination of Western science and Karuk traditional ecological knowledge. The plan 
centres on 22 focal species as 

cultural indicators

 as cues for human responsibilities and the particular techniques of fire application 

across seven habitat management zones (e.g., multiple forest types as well as riverine, riparian and montane systems). These adaptations 
range from specific prescriptions for the use of fire to lower river temperatures in acute scenarios (David et al., 2018), to protocols for 
treatment of grasslands and the use of high elevation meadows as fuel breaks. The plan also includes chapters on adaptations for tribal 
sovereignty, the mental and physical health effects of the changing climate and the protection of critical tribal infrastructure.

One aspect of Indigenous fire knowledge featured in the Karuk Climate Adaptation Plan is the culture-centric perspective on vegetation 
zones which are organised in relation to the elevation band in which smoke inversions occur (Figure Box 5.6.1). Within this system, 
burn timing follows a gradient that tracks the reproductive life cycles of season and elevational migrant species, the calving of elk and 
the nesting of birds. Within this system, elevational migrants are indicators of when to stop burning at one location and move upslope, 
following receding snows.

5.6.3 Adaptation

AR5 notes that natural ecosystems have built-in adaptation ability 
(Settele et  al., 2014). However, this capacity will not be enough to 
prevent loss of forest ecosystem services because of projected climate 
change in this century under RCP6.0 and 8.5. Management actions 
could reduce the risks of impacts to forest ecosystems but only up to 
a certain point.

A systematic review of literature revealed that successful adaptation in 
forest management can be achieved if there are partnerships between 
key stakeholders such as researchers, forest managers and local actors 

(Keenan, 2015). Such partnerships will lead to a shared understanding 
of climate-related challenges and more effective decisions. Forest 
managers in some countries of the world seem to have high awareness 
of climate change (van Gameren and Zaccai, 2015; Seidl et al., 2016; 
Sousa-Silva et  al., 2016). However, they need more information on 
how they can adjust their practices in response to climate change. 
Institutional and policy context needs to be considered to facilitate 
adaptation by forest managers (Sousa-Silva et  al., 2016; Andersson 
et al., 2017).

The plan also calls for the restoration of Indigenous fire science in emergency scenarios such as when rivers become too hot for salmon. 
With such fires localised, smoke inversions cool water temperatures through a variety of mechanisms, including shading river systems and 
reducing evapo-transpiration, thereby increasing stream flow (David et al., 2018).

5.6.3.1  Adaptation measures in sustainable forest management

A wide range of measures exist to adapt sustainably managed 
forests of the boreal and temperate zone to climate change (Kolström 
et al., 2011; Gauthier et al., 2014; Keenan, 2015). Evidence emerging 
since the last assessment report further bolstered the notion that 
adapting the tree species composition to more warm-tolerant and less 
disturbance-prone species can significantly mitigate climate change 
impacts (

high confidence

) (Duveneck and Scheller, 2015; Seidl et al., 

2018). Assisting the establishment of species in suitable habitats is 
one option to achieve climate-adapted tree species compositions 
(Benito-Garzón and Fernández-Manjarrés, 2015; Iverson et al., 2019). 
Furthermore, increasing the diversity of tree species within stands can 
have positive effects on tree growth and reduce disturbance impacts 
(

high confidence

) (Neuner et al., 2015; Jactel et al., 2018; Ammer, 2019). 

Some studies also suggest a positive effect of increased structural 
diversity, such as on forest resilience (

moderate confidence

) (Lafond 

et al., 2013; Koontz et al., 2020). Managing for continuous forest cover 
can also help to maintain the forest microclimate and buffer tree 
regeneration and the forest floor community against climate change 
(

high confidence

) (De Frenne et  al., 2013; Zellweger et  al., 2020). 

Reducing stocking levels, such as through thinning, has been found 
to effectively mitigate drought stress (Gebhardt et  al., 2014; Elkin 
et  al., 2015; Bottero et  al., 2017), yet effects vary with species and 
ecological context (

robust evidence

,

 medium agreement

) (Sohn et al., 

2016; Castagneri et al., 2021). Also shortened rotation periods have 
been suggested in response to climate-induced increases in growth 
and disturbance (Jönsson et al., 2015; Schelhaas et al., 2015). However, 
recent evidence suggests that these measures diminish in efficiency 
under climate change and can have corollary effects on other important 
forest functions such as carbon storage and habitat quality (

medium 

confidence

) (Zimová et al., 2020). Also, measures targeting landscape 

structure and composition have proven effective for increasing the 
climate resilience of forest systems (

medium confidence

) (Aquilue 

et  al., 2020; Honkaniemi et  al., 2020). While an increasing number 
of adaptation measures exist for sustainably managed forests, many 

studies highlight that the lead times for adaptation in forestry are 
long and that some vulnerabilities might remain also after adaptation 
measures have been implemented. Furthermore, the costs and benefits 
of adaptation measures relative to other goals of sustainable forest 
management, such as the conservation of biological diversity, have 
to be considered (Felton et al., 2016; Zimová et al., 2020; see Cross-
Chapter Paper 7.5 Adaptation Response Options).

5.6.3.2  Linking adaptation and mitigation through Reducing 

Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus

Reducing Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus (REDD+) is 
a climate mitigation strategy which could also provide important 
climate change adaptation co-benefits; for example, sustainable forest 
management could provide long term livelihoods to local communities 
and enhance resilience to climate risks (Turnhout et al., 2017). However, 
major challenges related to REDD+ implementation and forest use 
remain such that it has not been implemented successfully at scale 
(Table 5.8).

5.7 

Other Natural Products

Natural products such as medicinal plants, wild food (plants, animals, 
mushrooms) and resins (e.g., gum arabic and frankincense) have high 
commercial value and contribute an important source of livelihood 
in some regions. One in six persons globally live in or near forests, 
and many depend on forest resources for some of their livelihood and 
needs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (Vira et  al., 
2016; Newton et al., 2020). The FAO has estimated that in 2011 non-
wood forest products, including medicinal plants, contributed over 
88 billion USD to the global economy (FAO, 2014). Greater diversity 
in local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge of natural resources 
supports resilience in the face of hazards, especially in environments 
with high levels of uncertainty (Berkes et al., 2003; Blanco and Carriere, 
2016).

Table 5.8 |

  Challenges and solutions for REDD+

Challenges with REDD+ implementation

Solutions for successful forest management

Legal

: lack of carbon rights in national legislations (Sunderlin et al., 2018; RRI, 2018b); 

unclear forestland tenure systems (Resosudarmo et al., 2014).

There is 

high confidence

 that implementing social safeguards such as a

 

Free Prior and 

Informed Consent (FPIC) is vital to adequately involving Indigenous Peoples and local 
communities in REDD+ (White, 2014; Raftopoulos and Short, 2019). Indigenous Peoples, 
consisting of at least 370 million people, manage or have tenure rights over a quarter of 
the world’s land surface (around 38 million km

2

) encompassing about 40% of the world’s 

protected areas (Garnett et al., 2018; RRI, 2018a).

Food security and livelihoods

: negative impacts of REDD+ on food security, agroforestry and 

swidden agriculture (Fox et al., 2014; Holmes et al., 2017).

There is 

high agreement

 that REDD+ and other green adaptation and mitigation efforts need 

to cooperate with Indigenous Peoples and other local communities who depend on forest 
resources for their livelihoods and food security (Wallbott, 2014; Mccall, 2016; Brugnach 
et al., 2017; Vanclay, 2017; Garnett et al., 2018; Paneque-Galvez et al., 2018; Sunderlin et al., 
2018; Schroeder and Gonzalez, 2019).

Political and socio-cultural

:

 

land acquisition or ‘green grabbing’ (Asiyanbi, 2016; Corbera 

et al., 2017); (mis)communicating the concept of carbon (Kent and Hannay, 2020); and 
lack of influence of Indigenous and local communities’ representation in global and 
national REDD+ negotiations (Wallbott, 2014; Dehm, 2016). In the absence of social and 
environmental safeguards, REDD+ could drive large-scale land acquisitions by states and 
corporations, resulting in global land grabs (or green grabbing), negatively affecting the food 
security, livelihoods and tenure rights of Indigenous and local communities (

limited evidence, 

high agreement

) (Carter et al., 2017; Lund et al., 2017; Borras et al., 2020).

There is 

low confidence

 as to whether community forestry is compatible with REDD+ (Hajjar 

et al., 2021). This is mainly due to lack of carbon payments and the variety of approaches to 
REDD+. There is 

high confidence

 that restoring land access and rights via transfer of formal 

land titles to Indigenous and local communities improves biodiversity conservation and 
carbon sequestration.

5.7.1 

Medicinal Plants

The World Health Organization lists traditional medicine as an essential 
component of culturally appropriate healthcare (WHO, 2013). Medicinal 
plants make up the primary source of medicine for 70–95% of people 
in low- and middle-income countries and are used widely in wealthier 
countries (Applequist et al., 2020). Continued use of medicinal plants 
ensures millions of rural people have access to effective treatments 
for day-to-day illness and infection and thus improves their health and 
resilience to climate change.

Indigenous Peoples largely depend on medicinal plants for their 
healthcare need in different parts of the world (de Boer and Cotingting, 
2014; Silva et al., 2020). Medicinal and aromatic plants can support 
the economy and generate livelihood options for rural people through 
preparing and selling traditional medicine; collecting from wild; 
and trade for income generation (Fajinmi et  al., 2017; Zahra et  al., 
2020). Income from medicinal plant collection increases livelihood 
diversification, which is widely accepted to improve resilience.

5.7.2 

Resin and Gum

Resin and gum are economically important natural products, 
contributing 14–23% total household income in parts of Ethiopia and 
Sudan (Abtew et al., 2014; Fikir et al., 2016), Cambodia (Sakkhamduang 
et al.) and India (Tewari et al., 2017). They are an important source of 
raw material for many industries. For instance, in Africa, the genera 

Boswellia

 and 

Commiphora

,

 

which provide frankincense and myrrh 

resins, provide significant income generation and export value (Tilahun 
et  al., 2015). Populations of many species that provide gums and 
resins are declining under pressure from unsustainable harvesting and 
deforestation, and climate change may threaten them further.

In Sri Lanka, 

Boswellia serrata 

Roxb. is critically endangered or 

possibly extinct (Weerakoon and Wijesundara 2012). In India, 

B. 

serrata 

populations are ‘vulnerable’ (Chaubey et  al., 2015; Brendler 

et al., 2018), and declining in the Western Ghats (Soumya et al., 2019). 
Invasion of 

Lantana camara

 and 

Prosopis juliflora

 has resulted in 

poor regeneration of 

Commiphorawightii

 in central India (Jain and 

Nadgauda, 2013). Other resin-producing species under threat include: 

Daemonoropsdraco 

(dragon’s blood resin) in Indonesia (Yetty et  al., 

2013; Widianingsih et  al., 2019), 

Pinus merkusii 

(tusam) in Sumatra 

(Indonesia) (Hartiningtias et al., 2020), 

Pinus pinaster 

in Spain, 

Pinus 

massoniana 

in China

 

(Génova et  al., 2014; Chen et  al., 2015b) and 

Pistacia atlantica

 in Iran (Yousefi et al., 2020).

5.7.3 

Wild Foods

Wild foods can include both native and introduced species that are not 
cultivated or reared but may be under various degrees of management 
by humans and may include escapees of species that are cultivated 
in some contexts (Powell et  al., 2015). Information on the use and 
importance of wild foods for nutrition is growing but remains limited 
(FAO, 2019e). The AR4 covered wild food briefly in the polar regions 
and noted the inter-related nature of climate change and Indigenous 

knowledge loss in reducing access to wild food (Anisimov et al., 2001). 
AR5 did not address wild foods and other natural products. There is 
large variation in the importance of wild foods (Powell et al., 2015; 
Rowland et al., 2017; Dop et al., 2020). A recent survey of 91 countries 
found that 15 reported regular use of wild foods by most of the 
population, and 26 reported regular use of wild foods by a subsection 
of the population (FAO, 2019e). While they contribute little to food 
energy intake, their contribution to nutrition can be significant because 
most wild and forest foods (vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, insects and 
meat) are rich in proteins and micronutrients (Powell et al., 2015). The 
impacts of climate change on wild foods will vary in time and space 
and among species.

5.7.4 

Observed and Projected Impacts

5.7.4.1  Medicinal plants

Research is limited on the effects of climate change on the distribution, 
productivity or availability of medicinal plants (Applequist et al., 2020), 
but some are facing threats due to climate change (Phanxay et al., 2015; 
Chirwa et al., 2017; Chitale et al., 2018). Climate change is projected to 
impact some medicinal plant species through changes in temperature, 
precipitation, pests and pathogens; unsustainable harvest of high-value 
species will significantly exacerbate these impacts (

medium evidence

,

 

high agreement

) (Applequist et  al., 2020). Table  5.9 highlights that 

climate change impacts on medicinal plant species will vary greatly 
by species. Medicinal plants that grow in arid environments are also 
highly susceptible to climate-induced change (Applequist et al., 2020). 
Arctic medicinal species may also be particularly at risk due to climate 
change (Cavaliere, 2009).

Changes in range distribution will interact with detailed local 
knowledge and Indigenous knowledge needed to harvest and use 
medicinal plants. Northward range shifts, for example, may mean 
certain plants still exist, but not where they have traditionally been 
important as medicine, and possibly moving suitable ranges outside of 
areas where plants species have sufficient protection (Kaky and Gilbert, 
2017). Climate-induced phenological changes are already observed as 
a threat to some species (Gaira et  al., 2014; Maikhuri et  al., 2018). 
Other major climate-induced impacts on medicinal plants will be via 
the phytochemical content and pharmacological properties of medical 
plants (Gairola et al., 2010; Das et al., 2016a). Experimental trials have 
shown that drought stresses increase phytochemical content, either 
by decreasing biomass or increasing metabolites production (

high 

confidence

) (Selmar and Kleinwachter, 2013; Al-Gabbiesh et al., 2015).

5.7.4.2  Wild food

5.7.4.2.1  Wild food in the Arctic, North America and Europe

Changes to the availability, abundance, access and storage of wild 
foods associated with changing climate are exacerbating high rates of 
food insecurity (

high confidence

) (Ford, 2009; Beaumier and Ford, 2010; 

Herman-Mercer et al., 2019). Wild foods are central to the food systems 
of communities throughout the Arctic and sub-Arctic (Kuhnlein et al., 
1996; Ballew et al., 2006; Kuhnlein and Receveur, 2007; Johnson et al.,

health (Section CCP6.2.5; 2.8) (

high confidence

) (Loring and Gerlach, 

2009; Cunsolo Willox et al., 2012). Wild foods consumed in the Arctic 
and northern regions include animals and a wide variety of plant 
foods (Wein et al., 1996; Ballew et al., 2006; Kuhnlein and Receveur, 
2007). Wild foods contribute most of important nutrients in the diets 
of northern and Arctic people (Johnson et al., 2009; Wesche and Chan, 
2010; Kenny et al., 2018). However, the use of traditional wild foods is 
declining across the region, lowering diet quality (Rosol et al., 2016). 
Indigenous communities in the Arctic perceive climate change related 
impacts on traditional wild foods, and availability and access to wild 
foods are forecast to continue to decline (Brinkman et al., 2016). Some 
communities hold positive views of the new opportunities a warmer 
climate will bring, seeing them as a favourable trade-off relative to 
the loss of some forms of subsistence hunting (Nuttall, 2009). Climate 
change is causing ecological changes that impact Arctic wild food 
availability and abundance in many different ways, including changes 
to breeding success, migration patterns and food webs (Table  5.10, 
Markon et al., 2018).

Climate-change-induced impacts of access to wild foods are also 
of concern in Arctic regions (

high confidence

). Coastal and inland 

communities of Alaska found that 60% of climate impacts on food 
security listed by hunters were related to access (Brinkman et  al., 
2016). Reduced duration, thickness and quality of sea ice are some of 
the most cited impacts of climate change on wild food consumption 
(Ford, 2009; Laidler et  al., 2009; Downing and Cuerrier, 2011; 
Huntington et al., 2017; Nuttall, 2017; Fawcett et al., 2018; Ford et al., 
2018; Markon et al., 2018). Lack of snowfall reduces and delays the 
ability to travel on land using snowmobiles (Downing and Cuerrier, 
2011), impacting safety of travel, time needed and costs of accessing 
wild foods (Cold et al., 2020).

Rising temperatures and humidity are also impacting wild food storage 
and increasing the risk of food-borne diseases (Cozzetto et al., 2013; 
Nuttall, 2017; Markon et al., 2018). Changes in AT and humidity can 
mean that whale and fish meat no longer dry properly, or meat may 
spoil before hunters can get it home (Downing and Cuerrier, 2011; 
Nuttall, 2017). Traditional permafrost ice cellars are no longer reliable 
(Downing and Cuerrier, 2011; Nyland et al., 2017; Herman-Mercer et al., 
2019). Climate-related environmental change compounded with social, 
economic, cultural and political change have had complex but overall 
negative impacts on wild foods (Section CCP6.4, Lujan et al., 2018) .

Communities across other (non-Arctic) parts of North America and 
Europe also report declining availability of wild foods, with climate 
change among the perceived drivers for decline (

medium confidence

) 

(Table 5.10, Serrasolses et al., 2016; Smith et al., 2019a). Even when 
climate change may not always be the primary driver of loss of these 
wild food resources, climate may interact with other stressors to 
exacerbate loss of wild foods (Lynn et al., 2013; Reo and Parker, 2013).

5.7.4.2.2  Wild food in the arid and semi-arid environments

Wild foods are also impacted by climate change in arid and semi-arid 
landscapes around the world (

medium evidence

, 

high agreement

) 

(Table 5.10). A number of wild species are important traditional foods 

of Indigenous Peoples or local communities across arid regions of 
North America (Messer, 1972; Kuhnlein and Calloway, 1977; Santos-
Fita et al., 2012; Vinyeta et al., 2016), South America (e.g., Argentina; 
Ladio and Lozada, 2004; Altrichter, 2006; Eyssartier et  al., 2011), 
Australia (Scelza et al., 2014), the Mediterranean Basin (Hadjichambis 
et al., 2008; Powell et al., 2014), India and the Himalayas (Pingle, 1975; 
Gupta and Sen, 1980; Delang, 2006; Bhatt et al., 2017).

Wild foods such as baobab, shea and nere from plants and animals 
make an important contribution to diets and nutrition in arid and semi-
arid regions of Africa (Boedecker et al., 2014; Leßmeister et al., 2015; 
Bélanger and Pilling, 2019) and are being impacted by climate change 
(Moseley et al., 2015; Sango and Godwell, 2015; Hitchcock, 2016) (see 
Chapter 9). There has been little published research on the impacts 
of climate change on wild food in arid regions of Australia, although 
Aboriginal elders in one report suggested that climate-related changes 
are impacting wild food (Memmott et al., 2013).

5.7.4.2.3  Wild food in tropical humid environments

Wild foods are important to many communities that live in and 
adjacent to humid tropical forests, but climate change impacts are 
mixed (Table  5.10, Dounias et  al., 2007; Colfer, 2008; Powell et  al., 
2015; Rowland et  al., 2017; Reyes-García et  al., 2019). In some 
humid tropical forest regions, bushmeat is particularly important 
(Golden et al., 2011; Nasi et al., 2011; Fa et al., 2015; Powell et al., 
2015; Rowland et al., 2017). In humid tropical regions, the impact of 
climate change on wild food availability, access and consumption is 
currently unclear and research is limited. There are, however, important 
interrelationships between climate change and wild food use in 
humid forests. For example, the loss of large mammals to bushmeat 
consumption and global trade will likely slow the regeneration of 
tropical forests in which a large number of tree species are dependent 
on large mammals for seed dispersal (Brodie and Gibbs, 2009). 
Conversely, others argue that bushmeat provides local communities 
with an important incentive to support local maintenance of forest 
cover and, thus, carbon sequestration (Bennett et al., 2007).

5.8 

Ocean-Based and Inland Fisheries Systems

The livelihoods of 10–12% of the world’s population depend on 
fisheries and aquaculture (FAO, 2020c). Globally, fish provide more 
than 3.3 billion people with 20% of their average per capita intake of 
animal proteins, reaching 50% or more in countries such as Bangladesh, 
Cambodia, The Gambia, Ghana, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka and 
several Small Island Developing States (FAO, 2020c). Between 1961 
and 2017, the average annual apparent global food fish consumption 
increased (3.1% per year; from 9.0 kg per person in 1961 to 20.5 kg in 
2018), exceeding the rate of increase in consumption of meat from all 
terrestrial animals combined (2.1% annually, currently around 40 kg 
per person) (FAO, 2020d). Fish are a rich source of protein and specific 
vitamins and minerals (Khalili Tilami and Sampels, 2018), and are an 
essential food source in regions in need of nutritious, affordable food 
(Thilsted et al., 2016; FAO et al., 2018; Hicks et al., 2019; Cross-Chapter

Reindeer and caribou
(

Large herbivores are highly dependent on their food sources such as mosses, lichens and grasses which 
are sensitive to climate change (Istomin and Habeck, 2016).
Combined impacts of climate change and other inter-related factors suggest significant declines in 
caribou and reindeer populations, although to varying extents from one population to another (Kenny 
et al., 2018; Mallory and Boyce, 2018).
Warming has led to increased plant productivity and associated increases in body mass of some 
reindeer populations (Albon et al., 2017; Mallory and Boyce, 2018).
Increasing primary production, warming will also change the plant composition, leading to increases in 
woody/shrubby vegetation which will have negative nutritional consequences for caribou and reindeer 
(Elmendorf et al., 2012; Mallory and Boyce, 2018). The loss of lichens, a key winter food source, due 
to increased wildfire or replacement by grasses and herbs that die back in the winter, may also be 
detrimental to caribou and reindeer, although there is currently no consensus on this among experts 
(Mallory and Boyce, 2018).
Rain on snow and icing events during winter, which are predicted to become more frequent, have been 
documented to lead to large increases in arctic herbivore mortality because they create an ice barrier 
making access to food more difficult (Putkonen and Roe, 2003; Tyler, 2010; Stien et al., 2012; Hansen 
et al., 2013; Forbes et al., 2016). Rain-on-snow events may also impact reproductive success, although 
recent research suggests this relationship in not straightforward (Douhard et al., 2016).
Increased summer insect harassment is also predicted to increase and further stress large herbivores 
both by the additional parasitic load and by decreasing the amount of time spent grazing as animals 
seek to outrun pests (Mallory and Boyce, 2018).
Finally, many caribou and reindeer populations rely on sea and freshwater ice to facilitate their movement 
and migration; loss of ice may make some populations no longer viable (Mallory and Boyce, 2018).

Berries
(

Berries are among the most important and widely consumed wild foods of plant origins in Arctic and 
northern regions (Vaara et al., 2013; Hupp et al., 2015; Boulanger-Lapointe et al., 2019).
Berry production will be impacted by climate change, including snow cover, rainfall, soil moisture, air 
temperature and availability of insect pollinators (Herman-Mercer et al., 2020) and possible risk from 
sea-level-rise-associated soil salinisation (Cozzetto et al., 2013).
Increased growth of woody shrub vegetation, driven by increased temperatures, can also make moving 
across the land difficult, impairing access to berry patches (Boulanger-Lapointe et al., 2019). Conversely, 
a recent modelling experiment suggested that the >2°C warming experienced by Arctic communities 
over the past three decades has had minimal impact on overall trail access (Ford et al., 2019).
In Alaska, communities perceive berry abundance as declining and/or becoming more variable (Kellogg 
et al., 2010; Hupp et al., 2015). In a Gwich’in community in Canada, Parlee and Berkes (2005) recorded 
that local women perceived climate change, especially extreme weather events, as the greatest risk to 
traditional berry patches (cranberry, blueberry and cloudberry).
The expansion of trees and shrubs may cause shading and negatively impact the productivity of berry 
plants (Downing and Cuerrier, 2011; Lévesque et al., 2012).
Berries are predicted to be increasingly susceptible to negative impacts of invasive species (which 
compete for pollinators) (Spellman and Swenson, 2012) and infections (Turner and Clifton, 2009) as 
climate change progresses. Suitable area of huckleberry (

Vaccinium membranaceum

) would shrink by 

5–40% by the end of the 21st century (Prevéy et al., 2020).
Phenological shifts are also important. Many communities report changes in phenology including failed 
ripening or ‘all of the berries are ripening at the same time’ (Turner and Clifton, 2009; Herman-Mercer 
et al., 2020). Competition with growing populations of geese is viewed by many communities to be an 
important threat to berry harvesting. (Boulanger-Lapointe et al., 2019). In Labrador, Canada, changes in 
permafrost, vegetation, water and weather have had an impact on cloudberry (bakeapple) productivity, 
phenology and patch fragmentation. Moreover, changes in summer settlement patterns (which are now 
farther from berry patches) are making it more difficult for people to respond to variations in growth 
and timing (Anderson et al., 2018).
In Montana, USA, Crow Nation elders have noted that many of their important berry resources have 
been impacted by climate change, either because they bud earlier and are then vulnerable to cold 
snaps, or the timing of fruit production has changed (with many now ripening at the same time) (Doyle 
et al., 2013). Similarly, the Wabanaki Nations in Maine and Eastern Canada worry that climate change 
will impact berry resources already under pressure from dwindling territory and pollution (Lynn et al., 
2013).

and acorns, foods which once made up 50% of a traditional Karuk diet (Lynn et al., 2013; Vinyeta et al., 
2016), as well as huckleberry (Vinyeta et al., 2016). Using regional climate models, Kueppers (2005)

Overall capture fishery production has remained relatively static since 
the 1990s, reaching 96.4  million tonnes in 2018, with over 87% of 
the production coming from marine environments and the rest from 
inland fisheries (FAO, 2020c). Finfish represent 85% of global marine 
seafood production, with small pelagic fishes (anchovies, sardines 
and herrings) as the major contributor. Almost 60% of the total 
global marine catches come from China, Peru, Indonesia, the Russian 
Federation, the USA, India, Viet Nam, Japan, Norway and Chile (FAO, 
2020c). Inland fisheries are found on every continent other than 
Antarctica and provide 158 million people the equivalent of all dietary 
animal protein (McIntyre et  al., 2016). Inland production accounted 
for 12 million tonnes in 2018, with nearly 70% of capture from low-
income Asian and African countries (Harrod et al., 2018a).

The aquaculture and fisheries’ share of gross domestic product 
(GDP) varies mostly from 0.01% to 10% (Cai et  al., 2019), but the 
relative importance in countries’ economies and welfare is greater in 
several low-income countries, especially in many African and Pacific 
Island states. Approximately 60 million people are directly employed 
in fisheries value chains, from harvesting to distribution (Vannuccini 
et al., 2018); around 95% of them are in small-scale fisheries of low- 
and middle-income countries, and almost half are women.

migration; fruit traits such as fruit size and shape, pulp sweetness and kernel fat content are 
determined both by temperature and rainfall, as well as human selection for preferred traits (Maranz 
and Wiesman, 2003). There is limited and conflicting evidence of the impacts of climatic conditions 
and future projected climate variations on

impact of climate and rainfall on fruit production and timing is reported (Tom-Dery et al., 2018). Fruit 
production was negatively correlated with mean annual temperature and positively correlated with 
annual rainfall (Bondé et al., 2019).

Mushrooms

Wild mushrooms production (including truffles) is closely linked to climate factors including temperature 
and precipitation as well as tree growth and carbohydrate production (Tahvanainen et al., 2016). Some 
species are sensitive to high temperatures (Büntgen et al., 2012; Le Tacon et al., 2014; Ágreda et al., 
2015; Bradai et al., 2015; Taye et al., 2016; Alday et al., 2017; Karavani et al., 2018; Büntgen et al., 2019; 
Thomas and Buntgen, 2019). Models for some varieties suggest ‘declines of 78–100% in European 
truffle production are likely for 2071–2100’ (Thomas and Buntgen, 2019). For some species in northern 
Europe, the season is expanding (starting earlier and/or ending later), likely linked to warming (Büntgen 
et al., 2012; Le Tacon et al., 2014; Ágreda et al., 2015; Bradai et al., 2015; Taye et al., 2016; Alday et al.,

Matsutake mushroom (

Tricholoma matsutake

), highly prized in China, is sensitive to timing and amount 

of precipitation and temperature (Yang et al., 2012), and suitable habitat for this species is predicted 
to significantly decrease and highly suitable habitat to nearly disappear under various climate change

5.8.1 

Observed Impacts

Ocean systems are already facing significant impacts of climate 
change. At the ocean surface, temperature has on average increased 
by 0.88 [0.68–1.01] °C from 1850–1900 to 2011–2020 (Fox-Kemper 
et  al., 2021; Gulev et  al., 2021). Marine heatwaves have increased 
in frequency over the 20th century, with an approximate doubling 
since the 1980s (

high confidence

), and their intensity and duration 

have also increased (

medium confidence

) (IPCC, 2021, Box  9.2). In 

the Northeast Pacific, for example, an intense and long-lasting marine 
heatwave during 2013–2015 bridged to the strong 2015–2016 El Niño 
(Tseng et al., 2017) resulted in over 5 years of warmer-than-normal 
temperatures affecting the migration, distribution and abundance 
of several marine species, including fisheries resources (Cornwall, 
2019; Jiménez-Quiroz et  al., 2019). The surface open ocean pH has 
declined globally over the last 40 years by 0.003–0.026 pH per decade 
(

virtually certain

), and a decline in the ocean interior pH has been 

observed in all ocean basins over the past two to three decades (

high 

confidence

) (Gulev et al., 2021). The ocean is losing dissolved oxygen 

(

very likely

) in the range of 0.5–3.3% between 1970 and 2010 for the 

0–1000 m depth stratum (Bindoff et al., 2019; Canadell et al., 2021), 
salt content is being redistributed (

very likely

) (Liu et al., 2019a; Gulev 

et al., 2021) and vertical stratification is increasing (

virtually certain

) 

(HLPE, 2017a; Fox-Kemper et al., 2021; Ranasinghe et al., 2021). There 
is 

high confidence

 that all these new physical, chemical and biological 

conditions affect marine organisms’ physiology, distribution and 
ecology, with an overall shift in biomass and species composition 
affecting ecosystem structure and function (Chapter 3). Under climate 
change, freshwater ecosystems are highly exposed to eutrophication, 
species invasion and rising temperatures (Lynch et al., 2016; Hassan 
et al., 2020). Major threats to wetland fisheries include water stress, 
sedimentation, weed proliferation, sea level rise and loss of wetland 
connectivity (Naskar et al., 2018).

Changes in aquatic ecosystems directly affect humans by altering 
livelihood, cultural identity and sense of self, and seafood provision, 
quality and safety. The state of marine fishery resources has 
continued to decline, with the proportion of fish stocks at biologically 
unsustainable levels of exploitation increasing from 10% in 1974 to 
34.2% in 2017 (FAO, 2020d). There is 

medium confidence

 that fisheries 

production declines in different world regions can be partly attributed 
to climate change, along with overfishing and other socioeconomic 
factors. It has been estimated that, from 1930 to 2010, the amount 
of fish that can be sustainably harvested from several marine fish 
populations has decreased by 4.1% globally due to ocean warming, 
with some regions (East Asian Marginal Seas, the North Sea, the Iberian 
Coast and the Celtic-Biscay Shelf), experiencing losses of 15–35% 
(Free et al., 2019). There is regional variation such as redistribution of 
fishing grounds, due to climate-induced fish species migrations (Cross-
Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). In Tanzania, for example, 
most small-scale fishers (75%) have reported shifting fishing grounds 
from nearshore to offshore areas during the last decade, due to 
perceived combined effects of overfishing and environmental impacts 
(Silas et al., 2020). Observed impacts in some inland aquatic systems 
indicate substantial productivity reductions (

medium confidence

). 

For example, sustained warming in Lake Tanganyika during the last 

∼

150 years has affected the biological productivity by strengthening 

and shallowing stratification of the water column (Cohen et al., 2016). 
Still, over 60% of the published reports on directly observed impacts 
of climate change on freshwater biota are on salmonids in North 
America and Europe, highlighting significant literature gaps for other 
fish species and regions (Myers et al., 2017a).

There is 

low confidence 

in climate change affecting the nutritious value 

of seafood. Contrasting evidence suggests that ocean warming and 
acidification could be altering the nutritional quality of commercial 
mollusks, primarily by reducing healthy fatty acids content (Tate 
et al., 2017; Ab Lah et al., 2018; Lemasson et al., 2019), but Coleman 
(2019) found no significant changes in a widely distributed coastal 
fish species.

In terms of food safety, there is 

high confidence 

that climate change 

increases the trends in seafood consumption related illnesses due to 
biological agents such as algae-produced toxins, ciguatera and 

Vibrio

 

(Cross-Chapter Box  ILLNESS in Chapter 2, Sections  5.11 and 5.12). 
Increased surface water warming changes the occurrence, intensity, 
species composition and toxicity of marine and freshwater algae and 
bacteria, and expansion to areas where they had not been reported 
before (Botana, 2016; McCabe et al., 2016; Griffith et al., 2019). There 
is 

limited evidence

 suggesting that risks linked to the bioaccumulation 

of chemicals are also of concern, such as neurotoxic methylmercury 
(MeHg) and heavy metals, due to water quality and trophic changes 
induced by climate change (Shi et al., 2016; Schartup et al., 2019).

5.8.2 

Assessing Vulnerabilities

In the absence of adaptive measures, climate-induced changes in 
the abundances and distributions of fish will impact the provision, 
nutrition and livelihood security of many people (

high confidence

) as 

well as regional and global trade patterns (

medium confidence

).

5.8.2.1  Food security: provision and nutrition

The importance of seafood in food security and nutrition is 
increasing, largely due to its contribution as high-quality food (

high 

confidence

) (Hicks et  al., 2019), as seafood contains unique long-

chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) and highly bioavailable 
essential micronutrients—vitamins (A, B and D) and minerals (calcium, 
phosphorus, iodine, zinc, iron and selenium). These compounds, often 
not readily available elsewhere in diets, have beneficial effects for 
adult health and child cognitive development (HLPE, 2014). Changes 
in marine and freshwater fish production can have significant 
consequences for human nutrition (Colombo et  al., 2020). These 
changes are of particular concern in regions with few nutrition 
alternatives, such as low-income countries in Africa, Asia, Australasia, 
and Central and South America (

high confidence

) (Ding et al., 2017; 

Kibria et al., 2017).

Freshwater ecosystems that support most inland fisheries are under 
continuing threat from changes in land use, water availability and 
pollution and other pressures that will be exacerbated by climate 
change (

high confidence

) (Section 4.3.5). Declines in dissolved oxygen 

in freshwater are 2.75–9.3 times greater than observed in the world’s

oceans (Jane et al., 2021). These systems have a relatively low buffering 
capacity and are therefore more sensitive to climate-related shocks 
and variability (Harrod et al., 2018b). Freshwater faunae are projected 
to be highly vulnerable; in the tropics because organisms are closer 
to approaching their thermal physiological limits and in the northern 
hemisphere (30–50°N) because the rate of temperature change is 
faster (Comte and Olden, 2017). The worldwide spatial confluence of 
productive freshwater fisheries and low food security highlights the 
critical role of rivers and lakes in providing locally sourced, low-cost, 
nutritious food sources (McIntyre et al., 2016).

Deltas and other wetland fisheries are extremely vulnerable to climate 
change and home to a large and growing proportion of the world’s 
population. In India, Ghana and Bangladesh, where three of the most 
populated Deltaic systems are located, subsistence fisheries provide 
12–60% of the animal protein in people’s diets (Lauria et al., 2018).

The concern over aquatic food products’ safety due to climate change 
is increasing (

high confidence

). A strong positive relationship exists 

between specific bacterial growth rates and temperature, including 
pathogenic species of the genera 

Vibrio

,

 Listeria

, 

Clostridium

, 

Aeromonas

, 

Salmonella

, 

Escherichia 

and others, whose distributional 

area is expanding with changing climate conditions (Cross-Chapter 
Box ILLNESS in Chapter 2, Section 5.12.1).

5.8.2.2  Social vulnerabilities, including gender and 

marginalised groups and cultural services

There is 

high confidence

 that climate change is and will continue 

to be a threat to the livelihood of millions of fishers, with the most 
vulnerable being those with fewer opportunities and less income 
(Barange and Cochrane, 2018; Section 3.4.3). The social vulnerability 
can differ largely between locations, even between relatively close 
coastal or inland communities (Bennett et al., 2014; Maina et al., 2016; 
Ndhlovu et  al., 2017; Martins et  al., 2019) and among inhabitants 
within a location, depending on factors such as access to other 
economic activities, education, health, adults in the household, and 
political connections (

high confidence

) (Senapati and Gupta, 2017; 

Abu Samah et al., 2019; Lowe et al., 2019).

Indigenous coastal communities consume 1.5–2.8  million metric 
tonnes of fish per year (about 2% of global yearly commercial 
marine catch), and reach a per capita consumption estimated to be 
15  times greater than that of non-Indigenous country populations 
(Cisneros-Montemayor et  al., 2016). There is 

high confidence

 that 

some Indigenous fishing communities are particularly vulnerable to 
climate change through a reduced capacity to conduct traditional 
harvests because of limited access to, or availability of, fish resources 
(Weatherdon et  al., 2016), with consequences that include dietary 
shifts with significant nutritional and health implications (Marushka 
et al., 2019), displacement and loss of cultural identity (Sullivan and 
Rosenberg, 2018) and loss of social, economic and cultural rights 
(Finkbeiner et al., 2018). Areas of high risk for Indigenous Peoples 
include the Arctic, coastal communities with a high dependency 
on marine and freshwater fisheries, and Small Island States and 
Territories (Finkbeiner et  al., 2018; Hanich et  al., 2018, Section 
CCP6.2.5.1).

Women play a crucial role along the entire fisheries value chain, 
providing labour force in industrialised and small-scale fisheries all 
around the world (FAO, 2020d). For small-scale fisheries alone, women 
represent about 11% of the labour force, and their activity is generally 
in subsistence fisheries, highlighting their role in household food 
security (Harper et al., 2020). In general, gendered division of labour 
tends to cause lower salaries for women and different perception and 
experience of risk to climate change impacts (

high confidence

) (Lokuge 

and Hilhorst, 2017).

5.8.2.3  Management, economic and geopolitical vulnerabilities

Local, national, regional and international fisheries are mostly 
underprepared for geographic shifts in marine animals driven by 
climate change over the coming decades (

high confidence

) (Pinsky 

et al., 2018; Oremus et al., 2020; Pinsky et al., 2020). With fisheries 
distribution changes, sometimes into areas dedicated to different 
historical uses or new ventures, the current management regimes 
will face constraining legal frameworks (Farady and Bigford, 2019; 
Pinsky et al., 2020), which will demand interventions in the form of 
policies, programmes and actions, at multiple scales (Cross-Chapter 
Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). Coordinated fisheries management 
can substantially expand capacity to respond to a changing climate 
(Pinsky et al., 2020), but a great deal of political will, capacity building 
and collective action will be necessary (

high confidence

) (Teslić et al., 

2017; Burden and Fujita, 2019; Section 5.8.4).

Today, approximately half the world’s population (~4  billion out of 
7.8 billion people) are assessed as being currently subject to severe 
water scarcity for at least 1  month per year (

medium confidence

) 

(Box 4.1), and freshwater inland fisheries are particularly vulnerable 
as they are given lower priority for water resources than other sectors 
(

high confidence

). In some cases, this situation results in the total 

loss of freshwater fisheries. Examples include diversion of water 
for agriculture, shifts from food provision to recreational fisheries, 
conserving biodiversity, and the requirement for high-quality water for 
drinking water supply (Section 5.13, Harrod et al., 2018a).

There is 

high confidence

 that climate change increases the risk of 

conflicts due to the redistribution of stocks and their abundance 
fluctuations, with subsequent impacts on resource sharing (Spijkers and 
Boonstra, 2017; Pinsky et al., 2018; Spijkers et al., 2018; Mendenhall 
et al., 2020; Pinsky et al., 2020). High vulnerability and lack of adaptive 
capacity to climate change impacts (including fisheries-dependent 
livelihoods, attachment to place, and pre-existing tensions) increase 
the risk of conflicts, including among fishery area users and authorities 
(Ndhlovu et  al., 2017; Shaffril et  al., 2017; Spijkers and Boonstra, 
2017; Mendenhall et  al., 2020). Similarly, shifts in the distribution 
of transboundary fish stocks under climate change alter the current 
sharing of resources between countries and create conflicts as well 
as new opportunities (Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter, 
Spijkers and Boonstra, 2017; Pinsky et al., 2018).

5.8.3 

Projected Impacts

There is 

medium confidence

 that climate change will reduce global 

fisheries’ productivity (Section  3.4.4.2.3), with more significant 
reductions in tropical and subtropical regions and gains in the poleward 
areas (Bindoff et al., 2019; Oremus et al., 2020). Through an ensemble 
of marine ecosystem models and Earth System Models, mean global 
animal biomass in the ocean has been estimated to decrease by 5% 
under the RCP2.6 emissions scenario and 17% under RCP8.5 by 2100, 
with an average decline of 5% for every 1°C of warming (Lotze et al., 
2019), affecting food provision, revenue distribution, and potentially 
hindering the rebuilding of depleted fish stocks (Britten et al., 2017). The 
projected declining rates result in a 5.3–7% estimated global decrease 
in marine fish catch potential by 2050 (Cheung et al., 2019), particularly 
accentuated in tropical marine ecosystems and affecting many low-
income countries (Barange and Cochrane, 2018; Bindoff et al., 2019; 
Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). Projections indicate 
that by 2060 the number of exclusive economic zones (EEZs) with 
new transboundary stocks will increase to 46 under strong mitigation 
RCP2.6, and up to 60 EEZs under the RCP8.5 GHG emissions scenario 
(Pinsky et al., 2018). Similarly, by combining six intercompared marine 
ecosystem models, Bryndum-Buchholz et  al. (2019) projected that 
under the RCP8.5 scenario a total marine animal biomass decline 
of 15–30% would occur in the North and South Atlantic and Pacific 
and the Indian Ocean by 2100. In contrast, polar ocean basins would 
experience a 20–80% increase. In the eastern Bering Sea, simulations 
based on RCP8.5 predict declines of pollock (>70%) and cod (>35%) 
stocks by the end of the century (Holsman et al., 2020). Temperate tunas 
(albacore, Atlantic bluefin and southern bluefin) and the tropical bigeye 
tuna are expected to decline in the tropics and shift poleward by the 
end of the century under RCP8.5, while skipjack and yellowfin tunas are 
projected to increase abundance in tropical areas of the eastern Pacific 
but decrease in the equatorial western Pacific (

medium confidence

) 

(Erauskin-Extramiana et al., 2019). In the western and central Pacific, 
redistribution of tropical tuna due to climate change is projected to 
affect license revenues from purse seine fishing and shift more fishing 
into high seas areas (Bell et al., 2018; Table 15.5). For the east Atlantic, 
observational evidence indicates that not only will tuna distribution 
change with temperature anomalies, but also fishing effort distribution 
(Rubio et al., 2020a). There is 

medium confidence

 that climate change 

will create new fishing opportunities when exploited fish stocks shift 
their distribution into new fishing regions in enclosed seas, such as the 
Mediterranean and the Black Sea (Hidalgo et al., 2018; Pinsky et al., 
2018). However, in general, where land barriers constrain the latitudinal 
shifts, the expected impacts of climate change are population declines 
and reduced productivity (

high confidence

) (Oxenford and Monnereau, 

2018). Besides direct impacts on the abundance of fisheries-targeted 
species, climate-change-induced proliferation of invasive species could 
also affect fisheries’ productivity (

low confidence

) (Mellin et al., 2016; 

Goldsmith et al., 2019).

Shifting marine fisheries will affect national economies (

high 

confidence

) (Bindoff et al., 2019). It has been suggested that, without 

government subsides, fishing is already non-profitable in 54% of the 
international waters (Sala et  al., 2018). Projections are that fishing 
maximum revenue potential from landed catches will decrease further 
by 10.4% (±4.2%) by 2050 relative to 2000 under RCP8.5, close to 

35% greater than the decrease projected for the global maximum catch 
potential (7.7±4.4%); (Lam et al., 2016). The global revenue potential 
loss for that period ranges from USD 6 to 15 billion (depending on the 
model), but impacts may be amplified at the regional scale for fisheries-
dependent and low-income countries. The maximum revenue potential 
percentage decrease in the EEZ under RCP8.5 is estimated to be over 
2.3 times larger than that of the high seas (Lam et al., 2016). Ocean 
acidification is also expected to drive large global economic impacts 
(

medium confidence

) (Cooley et  al., 2015; Fernandes et  al., 2017; 

Macko et al., 2017; Hansel et al., 2020), and there is 

high confidence

 

that the integrated economic consequences of all interacting climate 
change-related factors would result in even larger losses. Changes in 
the frequency and intensity of extreme events will also alter marine 
ecosystems and productivity. Marine heatwaves can lead to severe 
and persistent impacts, from mass mortality of benthic communities 
to decline in fisheries catch (IPCC, 2021, Box 9.2). These events have 

very likely

 doubled in frequency between 1982 and 2016 and have also 

become more intense and longer (Smale et al., 2019; Laufkotter et al., 
2020); for all future scenarios Earth System Models project even more 
frequent, intense and longer-lasting marine heatwaves (Eyring et al., 
2021; IPCC, 2021, Box 9.2).

In addition to temperature and water availability stress, climate 
change will bring new water quality challenges in freshwater systems, 
including increased dissolved organic carbon and toxic metal loads 
(

high confidence

) (Chen et al., 2016). Harrod et al. (2018a) found that 

the two major inland fishery producers (China and India) will face 
significant stress in the future, a large group of countries that produce 
around 60% of total yield is projected to face medium stress, and a 
small group of 17 countries has the least severe repercussions (

medium 

confidence

). Climate warming may enhance northward colonisation of 

water bodies of commercial freshwater species in the Arctic, where 
there are few ecological competitors (

medium confidence

) (Campana 

et  al., 2020) but at the same time may also accentuate the age-
truncation effect of harvesting, elevating the population’s vulnerability 
to environmental perturbations (Smalås et  al., 2019). Detailed 
information on many of the most important inland fisheries is limited.

In terms of food safety, major concerns linked to climate change 
include the continued trend of increasing HABs, and the quantity of 
pollutants reaching aquatic systems (Box 3.3; Section 5.11).

5.8.4 Adaptation

Adaptation options in land- and aquatic-based culturing food 
production systems include both governance actions and changes 
in the factors of production (Section  5.4.4, 5.5.4, Reverter et  al., 
2020). In contrast, adaptation options in fisheries are primarily 
concentrated in the socioeconomic dimension, especially governance 
and management (Brander et al., 2018; Holsman et al., 2019), and 
given the scale of the problem, there are relatively few intentional,

et al., 2020).

The proportion of fisheries operating at levels that are considered

to 34.2% in 2017 (FAO, 2020d). There is 

high confidence

 that reducing 

stresses on marine ecosystems reduces vulnerability to climate 
change and augments resilience (Barange, 2019; Woodworth-Jefcoats 
et al., 2019; Ogier et al., 2020). Specifically, overfishing is the most 
critical non-climatic driver affecting the sustainability of fisheries, 
and therefore improving management could help rebuild fish stocks, 
reduce ecosystem impacts and increase the adaptive capacity of 
fishing (

high confidence

); (Barange, 2019; Das et al., 2020). Pursuing 

sustainable fisheries practices under a low-emissions scenario would 
decrease risk by 63%; in contrast, under the most extreme RCP8.5, 
both profit and harvest decline relative to today even under the most 
optimistic assumptions about global fisheries management reforms 
(Gaines et al., 2018; Sumaila et al., 2019; Free et al., 2020).

One adaptation strategy in the fishing sector is developing the capacity 
to recognise and respond to new opportunities that might arise from 
climate change by establishing a policy and planning setting that 
augments the fishers’ flexibility to change target species of fisheries or 
even engage in different productive activities. A key element would be 
the design and implementation of management schemes that consider 
flexible permits, sharing quotas, rethinking boundaries and reference 
points in response to system changes (Brander et  al., 2018; Cross-
Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). Large-scale distribution and 
productivity changes of commercial fish species will demand the ability 
to implement cooperative fishing strategies (Cisneros-Montemayor 
et al., 2020; Østhagen et al., 2020), and adjust multi-lateral treaties 
and other legal instruments used for managing shared transboundary 
ecosystems (Butler et al., 2019; Cross-Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this 
chapter).

There is 

high confidence

 that making climate change and adaptive 

capacity a mainstream consideration in global, regional, environmental 
and fisheries governance structures can improve the response capacity 
to ocean change (Gaines et al., 2018; Bindoff et al., 2019; Holsman 
et al., 2020; Ojea et al., 2020). For example, spatial management that 
includes strategies such as Territorial Use Rights for Fishing (TURFs), 
locally managed marine areas (LMMAs) and customary tenure is an 
approach that has climate change adaptation potential in small-scale 
fisheries but will require adjustments in governing and managing 
institutions that allow them to be more dynamic and flexible (Le Cornu 
et al., 2018). In regions where some of these measures have already 
been tested, institutional, legal, financial and logistical barriers to 
successful adaptation have been encountered, such as market failures 
stemming from uncertainty around new or emerging species, or policy 
barriers derived from the fact that the creation of scientific information 
needed to change regulations is likely slower than the pace of changes 
in stocks (Peck and Pinnegar, 2018).

Adaptation capacity is limited by the financial capacity of some 
countries (Bindoff et al., 2019). For example, in West African fisheries, 
adaptation costs associated with replacing the loss of coastal 
ecosystems and productivity is estimated to require 5–10% of 
countries’ GDP (Zougmoré et al., 2016). For Pacific Islands and Coastal 
Territories, fisheries adaptation will require significant investment from 
local governments and the private sector (Rosegrant et al., 2016), and 
reducing dependence on or finding alternatives to vulnerable marine 
resources (Johnson et al., 2020; Mabe and Asase, 2020).

Adaptive capacity is strongly associated with social capital (i.e., the 
networks, shared norms, values and understandings that facilitate 
cooperation within or among groups) (

high confidence

) (Stoeckl 

et  al., 2017; D’agata et  al., 2020) and depends on to what extent 
stakeholders are aware of climate change and their perception of risk 
(Ankrah, 2018; Martins and Gasalla, 2018; Chen, 2020). Improving 
information flows allows for a more efficient co-management 
implementation (

medium confidence

) (Vasconcelos et  al., 2020). 

Utilisation of local and Indigenous knowledge has the potential 
to facilitate adaptation (Bindoff et  al., 2019), not only because it 
represents actual experiences and autonomous adaptations, but 
also because it facilitates reaching shared understanding among 
stakeholders and adoption of solutions. Challenges to hybridising local 
ecological knowledge and scientific knowledge include differences 
in stakeholder or governance perceptions about the validity of each 
knowledge set and issues of expertise and trust (Harrison et  al., 
2018). Engaging Indigenous Peoples and local communities as 
partners across climate research ensures this knowledge is utilised, 
enhancing the usefulness of assessments (Bindoff et al., 2019) and 
facilitating the co-construction and implementation of sustainable 
solutions (

medium confidence

) (Braga et al., 2020; Bulengela et al., 

2020). Building climate resilience in the fishing sector also involves 
recognising gender and other social inequities (Call and Sellers, 
2019), and ensuring that all stakeholders are equally involved in the 
adaptation plans, including their design and the capacity-building 
training programmes.

There is 

high confidence

 that, for the freshwater fisheries systems, the 

most immediate adaptation option is the effective linkage of fisheries 
management to the adaptation plans of other sectors, especially 
water management (hydropower, irrigation and the commitment to 
maintaining environmental flows) (Harrod et  al., 2018a; Kao et  al., 
2020). In some regions, organisations are already addressing this issue; 
for example, The Office of Water (OW) in the USA is aimed at ensuring 
that drinking water is safe while ecosystem is conserved to provide 
healthy habitat for fish, plants and wildlife; however, success strongly 
depends on the possibility of integrating the jurisdictional framework 
of different agencies (Poesch et  al., 2016), the implementation of 
effective monitoring programmes (Paukert et  al., 2016) and finding 
ways to incentivise the early restoration of degraded systems (Ranjan, 
2020).

This Cross-Chapter Box, the ‘moving plate’, addresses climate-induced shifts and domesticated production suitability of food species 
consumed by people. Marine, freshwater and terrestrial systems are already experiencing species shifts in response to climate change 
(

very high confidence

) (see also Sections 2.4.2.1. and 3.4.3., Figure MOVING PLATE.1 this chapter), with subsequent impacts on food 

provisioning services, pests and diseases (

high confidence

) (see Box 5.8 and Cross-Chapter Box ILLNESS in Chapter 2). This Box highlights 

food insecurity and malnutrition of vulnerable peoples under climate change for both wild and domesticated aquatic and terrestrial 
species, and discusses challenges for adaptation and the roles that management (transboundary and ecosystem-based) can play to 
enable food security, reduce conflicts and prevent resource over-extraction.

Range contractions, shifts or extirpations are projected for terrestrial and aquatic species under warming, with greater warming leading 
to larger shifts and losses, where mitigation would therefore benefit climate refugia and reduce projected biodiversity declines (Smith 
et al., 2018; Warren et al., 2018). Marine species are moving poleward faster than terrestrial and freshwater species, despite faster 
warming on land (Pecl et al., 2017; Lenoir et al., 2019; Woolway and Maberly, 2020), leading to new or exacerbated socioeconomic 
conflicts within and between countries (see Figure MOVING PLATE.1 this chapter, see Sections 13.5.2.2., 15.3.4.4., FAQ 15.3., Mendenhall 
et al., 2020). There is large variation in the magnitude and pattern of species shifts, even among similar species within a region, leading 
to changes in communities in a given region (Brown et al., 2016; Pecl et al., 2017). The number of extreme heat stress days are projected 
to increase for domesticated species like cattle (see Figure MOVING PLATE.1 this chapter), leading to shifts in suitable habitat for raising 
livestock in the open with associated impacts in animal productivity and the costs of adapting in Africa, Asia, and Central and South 
America (Thornton et al., 2021).

Nutritional dependency, cultural importance, livelihood, or economic reliance on shifting species will increase impacts of climate change, 
especially for small-scale fishers (marine and freshwater), farmers, women and communities highly dependent on local sources of food 
and nutrition (

high confidence

) (see Figures MOVING PLATE.1 and MOVING PLATE.3 this chapter, Sections 3.5.3., 8.2.1.2. and 15.3.4.4, 

McIntyre et al., 2016; Blasiak et al., 2017; Kifani et al., 2018; Bindoff et al., 2019; Atindana et al., 2020; Hasselberg et al., 2020; Farmery et al., 
2021). Micronutrient concentrations from marine fisheries vary with species, providing higher concentrations of calcium, iron and zinc in 
tropical regions and higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids in polar regions (Hicks et al., 2019). While consumption of smaller species 
rich in micronutrients may provide significant benefits against deficiencies in Asia and Africa, local dietary changes in fish consumption may 
be linked to food preferences, fish availability due to international trade or illegal fishing and competing usage of fish (see Figure MOVING 
PLATE.3 this chapter, Hicks et al., 2019; Sumaila et al., 2020; Vianna et al., 2020). Industrial fleets are likely to switch target species 
(Belhabib et al., 2016) and inhibit small-scale fishers via illegal, unreported or unregulated fishing in EEZs (Belhabib et al., 2019; Belhabib 
et al., 2020). Extreme events can exacerbate issues, as fisheries are frequently increasingly exploited as a coping mechanism under times 
of crisis, increasing illegal fishing activities and conflict among maritime users (Pomeroy et al., 2016; Mazaris and Germond, 2018). Spatial 
conflicts between artisanal and commercial foreign fishing fleets are already occurring in Ghana (Penney et al., 2017), and from climate-
induced tropical tuna shifts in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean Islands (see Section 15.3.4.4., (Bell et al., 2018a)). Properly managed 
small-scale fisheries can reduce poverty and improve localised food security and nutrition in low-income countries but will likely require 
restriction in the number of fishers, boat size or fishing days (Purcell and Pomeroy, 2015; Hicks et al., 2019).

Shifting species have negative implications for the equitable distribution of food provisioning services, increasing the complexity of 
resolving sovereignty claims and climate justice (

high confidence

) (Allison and Bassett, 2015; Ayers et al., 2018; Baudron et al.; Ojea 

et  al., 2020; Palacios-Abrantes et  al., 2020). Higher-latitude countries generally have higher GHG emissions and will benefit from 
poleward-migrating resources from tropical poorer and lower-emitting GHG countries (Free et al., 2020). In this context, climate justice 
supporting fishing arrangements could offset socioeconomic impacts from exiting species (Mills, 2018; Lam et  al., 2020) and have 
negative implications particularly for small-scale operators (Farmery et al., 2021), However, considerations of climate justice have not 
been used by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) allocation shares to date (Engler, 2020). Species shifting from one 
historical jurisdiction to another may result in an incentivised depletion of the resource by the country the stock is shifting away from; 
reforming management to allocate resource sharing of quotas and permits or stock-unrelated side payments in bilateral or multilateral 
cooperative agreements may compensate or prevent loss (Diekert and Nieminen, 2017; Free et al., 2020; Ojea et al., 2020; Østhagen et al., 
2020; Cross-Chapter Paper Polar 6.2.).

Strong governance, ecosystem-based and transboundary management are considered fundamental to ameliorate the impacts of climate 
change (

high confidence

) but may be limited in effectiveness by the magnitude of change projected under low or no mitigation scenarios

(see Sections 2.6.2., 14.4.2.2. and 15.3.4.4., Harrod et al., 2018c; Pinsky et al., 2018; Holsman et al., 2020; Ojea et al., 2020). Flexible and 
rapid policy reform and management adaptation will help to meet sustainability targets (Nguyen et al., 2016; Pentz and Klenk, 2020), and 
may only be available for countries with the scientific, technical and institutional capacity to implement these (

high confidence

) (Peck and 

Pinnegar, 2018; Figures MOVING PLATE.2 and 3 this chapter). Other adaptation options include ‘follow the food’ thereby migrating 
further (Belhabib et al., 2016), provision of alternative livelihoods (Thiault et al., 2019; Cross-Chapter Box MIGRATE in Chapter 7, Free 
et al., 2020), increasing ecosystem resilience by rebuilding coastal mangroves (Tanner et al., 2014; and Box 1.3) and riparian areas of 
freshwater ecosystems (Mantyka-Pringle et al., 2016) and autonomous adaptations, such as harvesting gear modifications to access new 
target species (Harrod et al., 2018c; Kifani et al., 2018), practice change, and early-warning systems (see Section 11.3.2.3; Pecl et al., 2019; 
Melbourne-Thomas et al., 2021). Adaptive capacity will change with country, region, scale (commercial, recreational, Indigenous) of 
fishery, jurisdiction, and resource dependence (see Figure MOVING PLATE.2 this chapter for adaptation options for marine, freshwater 
and terrestrial systems). While shifting fishing fleets or herding may be an adaptation option to follow resources, limits to feasibility 
include institutional, legal, financial and logistical barriers such as costs of sourcing food and operational economic viability (Belhabib 
et al., 2016); this could potentially lead to maladaptation through increased GHG emissions from fuel usage and cultural displacement 
from traditional fishing and herding lands. Overall, decreases in GHG emissions under future scenarios would reduce increases in global 
temperatures and limit species shifts, thereby lowering the likelihood of conflicts and food insecurity (

high confidence

).

Coastal Regions of the Gulf of Guinea: Ghanian Fisheries

Marine fisheries in Ghana are dominated by artisanal fishers with overfished stocks, high nutritional fish dependency, high illegal fishing, 
low governance capacity (−0.21 2018, (World Bank, 2019)) and low climate awareness in regional fisheries management (Figure MOVING 
PLATE.3 this chapter; see Chapter 9; Nunoo et al., 2014; Belhabib et al., 2015; Belhabib et al., 2016; Kifani et al., 2018; Belhabib et al., 
2019). Artisanal fishing plays a pivotal role in reducing poverty and food insecurity, and the impacts of climate change will risk developing 
poverty traps (see Section 8.4.5.6., (Kifani et al., 2018)). Climate change induced species redistribution is a large risk to Ghanian fisheries, 
with projections of over 20 commercial fish species exiting the region with no new species entering under RCP4.5 by 2100 (Oremus et al., 
2020), and has already seen increases in warmer-water species with declining stocks. Adaptation options being applied are extending 
fishing ranges, increasing fishing effort (and cost) to access declining fish (with government fuel incentives) (Kifani et al., 2018; Muringai 
et al., 2021), developing aquaculture for alternative livelihoods, implementing fleet monitoring to reduce illegal fishing, and developing 
a robust Fisheries Information and Management System that accounts for environmental and climate drivers (Johnson et al., 2014; FAO, 
2016; Kassi et al., 2018). However, fisheries remain insufficiently regulated, there is a lack of a skilled workforce, and there is low access 
to credit; collectively, these factors limit options for artisanal fishers to find alternative sustainable employment (FAO, 2016).

Shifting Distributions of Freshwater Fishery Resources: Knowledge Gaps

Freshwater fisheries provide the primary source of animal protein and essential micronutrients for an estimated 200 million people 
globally and are especially important in tropical developing nations (see Section  9.8, Lynch et  al., 2017; Funge-Smith and Bennett, 
2019.). There is evidence that freshwater fishes have undergone climate-induced distribution shifts (Comte and Grenouillet, 2015; see 
Section 9.8.5.1.), and further shifts are projected as water temperatures rise and hydrological regimes change, with the largest effects 
predicted for equatorial, subtropical and semi-arid regions (Barbarossa et al., 2021). Currently, the effects of distribution shifts on local 
fishery catch potential, food security and/or nutrition have not been quantified for any major inland fishery, representing a key knowledge 
gap for anticipating future adaptation needs for freshwater fishing societies. However, studies on fishers’ perceptions of climate-induced 
changes in fishery catch rates have revealed that using local knowledge to adjust management practices (see Chapter 12 Central and 
South America this volume; Oviedo et al., 2016) and shifting gears, fishing grounds and target species (see Section 9.8.5.3.; Musinguzi 
et al., 2016) can be effective adaptation options.

Terrestrial Species Shifts

There is 

robust evidence

 of shifts that terrestrial species have shifted poleward in high latitudes, with general declines of sea-ice dependent 

as well as some extreme-polar-adapted species (

high confidence

) (Arctic and Siberian Tundra, see Section 2.4.2.2., Cross-Chapter Paper 

6), with often deleterious effects on the food security and traditional knowledge systems of Indigenous societies (Horstkotte et al., 2017; 
Pecl et al., 2017; Mallory and Boyce, 2018; Forbes et al., 2020). Recent decades have seen declines in Arctic reindeer and caribou (see 
Section 2.5.1., Cross-Chapter Paper 6), and adaptation responses include utilisation of Indigenous knowledge with scientific sampling to 
maintain traditional management practices (Pecl et  al., 2017; Barber et  al.; Forbes et  al., 2020). Preserving herder livelihoods will 
necessitate novel solutions (supplementary feeding, seasonal movements), where governance, ecological and socioeconomic trade-offs 
will be balanced at the local level (Horstkotte et al., 2017; Pecl et al., 2017; Mallory and Boyce, 2018; Forbes et al., 2020). Wild meat 
consumption plays a critical, though not well understood, role in the diets and food security of several hundred million people (

medium 

evidence

), for example in lower latitudes such as Central Africa and the Amazon basin (Bharucha and Pretty, 2010; Godfray et al., 2010; 

Nasi et al., 2011; Friant et al., 2020). Although illegal in many countries, wild meat hunting occurs either in places where there is no or

limited domesticated livestock production, or in places where shock events such as droughts and floods threaten food supply, forcing 
increased reliance on wild foods including bush meat (Mosberg and Eriksen, 2015; Bodmer et al., 2018). Appropriate management of wild 
meat for reliant peoples under projected climate change will necessitate incorporating social justice elements into conservation and 
public health strategies (see Cross-Chapter Box ILLNESS in Chapter 2, Cross-Chapter Box COVID in Chapter 7, Friant et al., 2020; Ingram, 
2020; Pelling et al., 2021).

function of: averaged GDP World Development Indicators for 2018 (World Bank, 2020); climate awareness assessments of 30 of the FAO recognised most recent RFMOs 
with direct fisheries linkages (see Supplementary Material SM5.5); governance effectiveness index based on six aggregate indicators (voice and accountability, political 
stability and absence of violence/terrorism, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, control of corruption) from 2018 World Governance Indicator (World 
Bank, 2019) data; and heterogeneity of countries within each FAO zone (highly heterogeneous regions are less likely to establish sustainable and efficient fisheries 
management for the entire FAO zone). Land area represents the percentage regional averaged seafood micronutrient deficiency risk of calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin A 
from 2011 data (Beal et al., 2017).

In terrestrial, marine and freshwater systems, human populations already impacted by poverty and hunger experience greater risk under 
climate change. Future food security will depend on access to other sustainable sources either via transnational agreements or resource/
livelihood diversification. Sudden shocks across food production systems (Cottrell et al., 2019) can lead to increases in fisheries harvest

Cross-Chapter Box  MIGRATE in Chapter 7). Ecosystem-based management approaches exist for terrestrial, marine and freshwater 
systems, but have proved successful only with early engagement of local small-scale, subsistence fishers/harvesters, utilising Indigenous 
knowledge and local knowledge and needs, in addition to those of larger-scale operators (

McGrath and Costello, 2015; Huq and Stubbings, 2016; Huq et al., 2017; Raymond-Yakoubian et al., 2017; Nalau et al., 2018; Raymond-
Yakoubian and Daniel, 2018; Pecl et al., 2019; Planque et al., 2019). Currently, there are large regional differences in climate literacy in 
RFMOs (Sumby et al., 2021) which, when combined with low governance and GDP per capita, will limit adaptation capacity and increase 
vulnerabilities, particularly for tropical and subtropical regions already at increased risk due to poleward species migrations (see 
Figure MOVING PLATE.3 this chapter). Trade will be an alternative to compensate for the moving plate but has specific risks that can 
amplify inequities and maladaptation (Asche et al., 2015; Vianna et al., 2020).

Ocean-Based and Inland Aquaculture 

Systems

Global aquaculture provides more fish for human consumption 
than wild capture fisheries, with projected provisioning of 60% by 
2030 (FAO, 2018c). Aquaculture can contribute to SDGs by reducing 
poverty and food insecurity, filling increasing aquatic food demand 
shortages from declining capture fisheries production (

medium 

confidence

) (Figure  5.13a and c, World Bank, 2013; Béné et  al., 

2016; Hambrey, 2017; Beveridge et  al., 2018b; Kalikoski et  al., 
2018; Belton et  al., 2020) and improving social inequities for poor 
rural communities (Béné et al., 2016; FAO, 2018c; Vannuccini et al., 
2018; Pongthanapanic et  al., 2019). Global aquaculture production 
reached 82  million tonnes (Mt) of food fish, crustaceans, molluscs 
and other aquatic animals from inland (51 Mt) and marine (31 Mt) 
systems, and 32 Mt of aquatic plants in 2018 (FAO, 2020d). China, 
India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Egypt, Norway and Chile are 
major production regions (FAO, 2020d). The range of species, farming 
methods and environments makes aquaculture the most diverse, 
long-standing farming practice in the world, with an estimated global 
sectoral value of USD 250 billion in 2018 (Figure 5.13b and 5.14d, 
Bell et  al., 2019; Harland, 2019; FAO, 2020d; Houston et  al., 2020; 
Metian et al., 2020), but it is dominated by 20 finfish, 9 mollusc and 6 
crustacean species (FAO, 2020). Inland aquaculture in freshwater and 
coastal ponds accounts for 85–90% of farmed production (Beveridge 
et al., 2018b; Naylor et al., 2021). Globally, 20.5 million people are 
engaged in aquaculture (FAO, 2020d), where marine finfish farming is 
primarily conducted by high-income countries and inland production 
is dominated by small-scale producers in lower-middle-income 
countries (Vannuccini et al., 2018).

5.9.1 

Observed Impacts

Marine aquaculture food production is being impacted directly 
and indirectly by climate change (

high confidence

) (Bindoff et  al., 

2019). Ocean pH and oxygen levels are declining, whereas global 
warming, sea level rise and extreme events are increasing (Cross-
Chapter Box  SLR in Chapter 3, Canadell et  al., 2021; Eyring et  al., 
2021; Fox-Kemper et al., 2021; Lee et al., 2021;). Marine heatwaves 

have been increasing in both incidence and longevity over the past 
century (Frolicher and Laufkotter, 2018; Oliver et  al., 2018; Bricknell 
et al., 2021), with productivity consequences for marine aquaculture 
(mariculture), carbon sequestration and local species extinctions (

high 

confidence

) (Weatherdon et al., 2016; Smale et al., 2019). Temperature 

increases related to El Niño climatic oscillations have caused mass fish 
mortalities either through warming waters (e.g., Pacific threadfin in 
Hawaii (McCoy et  al., 2017)) or associated HABs (e.g., 12% loss of 
Atlantic salmon as well as other fish and shellfish in Chile in 2016, 
with estimated USD 800 million in losses (

high confidence

) (Clement 

et al., 2016; Apablaza et al., 2017; Leon-Munoz et al., 2018; Trainer 
et al., 2020)). Increases in sea lice parasite infestations on salmon are 
related to higher salinity and warmer waters (

medium confidence

) 

(Groner et al., 2016; Soto et al., 2019). Ocean acidification is having 
negative impacts on the sustainability of mariculture production (

high 

confidence

) (Bindoff et al., 2019), with observed impacts on shellfish 

causing significant production and economic losses for regions, 
estimated at losses of nearly USD 110 million by 2015 in the Pacific 
Northwest (Barton et al., 2015; Ekstrom et al., 2015; Waldbusser et al., 
2015; Zhang et al., 2017b; Doney et al., 2020). Ocean oxygen levels are 
declining due to climate change (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2018; IPCC, 
2021), and decreased oxygen (hypoxia) has negative impacts on fish 
physiology (Cadiz et al., 2018; Hvas and Oppedal, 2019; Martos-Sitcha 
et al., 2019; Perera et al., 2021), fish growth, behaviour and sensitivity 
to concurrent stressors (

high confidence

) (Stehfest et al., 2017; Abdel-

Tawwab et al., 2019).

Observed impacts on inland systems have generally been site and 
region specific (

high confidence

) (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2018; Sainz 

et  al., 2019; Lebel et  al., 2020). Salinity intrusions into freshwater 
aquaculture systems have changed oxygen and water quality of inland 
ponds, resulting in mortalities in areas such as India and Bangladesh 
(

medium confidence

) (Dubey et al., 2017; Dabbadie et al., 2018). Rapid 

changes in temperature, precipitation, droughts, floods and erosion 
have created significant production losses for aquatic farmers in 
Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam and Ghana (

medium 

confidence

) (Asiedu et  al., 2017; Pongthanapanic et  al., 2019; Lebel 

et  al., 2020). Algal blooming and inland lake browning related to 
warming was found to negatively affect fish biomass (van Dorst et al.,

5.9.2 

Assessing Vulnerabilities

Aquaculture vulnerability assessments have shown that countries from 
both high and low latitudes are highly vulnerable to climate change, 
where vulnerability is driven by particular exposures, economic reliance, 
type of production sector (freshwater, brackish, marine) and adaptive 
capacity (

high confidence

) (Handisyde et al., 2017; Soto et al., 2018). 

Regional aquaculture vulnerabilities and risk mitigation potentials 
for the major FAO reporting regions are shown in Figure  5.14. Best

2020d), but in practice most only cover some climatic drivers (

medium 

agreement

,

 limited evidence

) (Soto et al., 2018). Holistic vulnerability 

assessments include ecosystem services (Custódio et al., 2020; Gentry 
et al., 2020) and farming practices which can exacerbate production 
pressures (stocking densities, eutrophication, fish stress) (Soto et al., 
2018; Sainz et al., 2019). Common vulnerabilities to inland and marine 
aquaculture include increasing incidence and toxicity of HABs related 
to warming waters, causing fish kills and product consumption risks, 
negatively impacting the productivity and stability of production 
sectors and reliant communities (

high confidence

) (Soto et al., 2018; 

Aoki et al., 2019; Bannister et al., 2019).

There is 

high confidence

 that inland aquaculture in Southeast Asia 

is highly vulnerable to climate change, due to fluctuations in water 
resources either through climatic variability in precipitation, flooding 
or salinity inundation or through competition (Handisyde et al., 2017; 
Nguyen et al., 2018; Soto et al., 2018; Islam et al., 2019; Nguyen et al., 
2019b; Prakoso et  al., 2020). Studies in Bangladesh and Indonesia 
highlighted regional and species-specific vulnerabilities (Prakoso et al., 
2020) and roles of governance in vulnerability reduction (Islam et al., 
2019).

In the marine sector, vulnerability models (Brugère and De Young, 
2015; Handisyde et  al., 2017) have been adapted and applied to 
semi-quantitative spatial risk assessments for Chilean Atlantic 
salmon, where analysis of exposure threat coupled with mortality 
and temperature farm data could enhance salmon production (Soto 
et al., 2019). Vulnerability assessments in Korea (RCP8.5 temperature 
increase of 4–5°C by 2100) (Kim et al., 2019a) and the USA (ocean 
acidification, Barton et al., 2015; Ekstrom et al., 2015) found major 
exposure-related vulnerabilities for seaweeds and shellfish, with 
reduced vulnerabilities under higher production control and adaptive 
capacity. Global bivalve vulnerability assessments (RCP8.5 by 2100) 
show high vulnerabilities for major producing countries related to 
cyclones (China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Viet Nam and North 
Korea), regional risk of high sensitivity and low adaptive capacity 
(Chile, Peru, Spain, Italy), with few major producers (France, the 
Netherlands and USA) anticipated to remain moderately vulnerable 
by 2100 (Stewart-Sinclair et al., 2020).

Climate uncertainty and data limitations hinder vulnerability assess-
ments (

high confidence

), so broader vulnerabilities and qualitative as-

sessments can be used (Brugère and De Young, 2015; Soto et al., 2018; 
Brugère et al., 2019; Cochrane et al., 2019). Filling data gaps with mon-
itoring (

high confidence

), increasing governmental support to assist 

particularly vulnerable small- and medium-scale farmers with increased 
costs associated with risk management and uncertainty (

medium con-

fidence

) and the early inclusion of community stakeholders (

high agree-

ment

, 

medium evidence

) can reduce vulnerabilities (Handisyde et al., 

2017; Dabbadie et al., 2018; Soto et al., 2018; Bindoff et al., 2019; Co-
chrane et al., 2019).

5.9.2.1  Gender and other social vulnerability and roles in 

aquaculture

There are regional differences in women’s roles, responsibilities 
and involvement in adaptation strategies in the aquaculture sector. 
Women comprise 14% of the 2018 global aquaculture workforce 
of 20.5 million (FAO, 2020c), representing up to 42% of the salmon 
workforce in Chile (Chávez et al., 2019), predominantly in processing 
roles (Gopal et  al., 2020). In the majority of lower-middle-income 
countries, seaweed culture is dominated by women in family-owned 
businesses as in Zanzibar and the Philippines (Brugere et  al., 2020; 
Ramirez et  al., 2020), where women are not always paid directly 
but contribute to family incomes (

high confidence

) (Msuya and 

Hurtado, 2017; Brugere et  al., 2020; Ramirez et  al., 2020). In India, 
women collect stocking juveniles and assist in pond construction; in 
Bangladesh, women do the same tasks as men; and in Ghana, women 
undertake post-harvest fishing activities (Lauria et al., 2018). Women 
employed in aquaculture cooperatives gained adaptive capacity, which 
reduced gender inequities (

medium confidence

) (Farquhar et al., 2018; 

Gonzal et al., 2019), but lack of financial access for women can create 
gender inequity at larger commercial scales (Gurung et al., 2016; Call 
and Sellers, 2019). Women in aquaculture experience competing roles 
between employment, childcare and home duties (

high confidence

) 

(Morgan et al., 2015; Lauria et al., 2018; Chávez et al., 2019; see Cross-
Chapter Box  GENDER in Chapter 18) and differ from men in terms 
of perceptions of environmental risk, climate change and adaptation 
behaviour, with limited contributions to decision making (

medium 

confidence

) (Barange and Cochrane, 2018). Therefore, effective 

climate aquaculture adaptation options need to address gender 
inequity, such as suitable technology designs that fit with social 
norms and access to credit to facilitate independent uptake (

medium 

evidence

,

 high agreement

) (Morgan et al., 2015; Oppenheimer et al., 

2019). Generalised best practices for gender-sensitive approaches to 
adaptation are relevant for aquaculture (UNFCCC, 2013).

5.9.3 

Projected Impacts

Projected impacts on regional inland and marine aquaculture production 
are summarised in Figure 5.15.

5.9.3.1  Inland freshwater and brackish aquaculture

Predicted sea level and temperature rise will result in coastal 
inundation into brackish and inland aquaculture systems (

high 

confidence

) (Mehvar et al., 2019; Nhung et al., 2019; Oppenheimer 

et  al., 2019; Fox-Kemper et  al., 2021), with negative impacts on 
aquaculture production in Viet Nam, East Africa and Jamaica (

medium 

confidence

) (Lebel et  al., 2018; Nguyen et  al., 2018; Bornemann 

et  al., 2019). Precipitation and temperature changes will cause 
drought and flooding, negatively affecting near-shore fishpond 
productivity (

limited evidence

) (Canevari-Luzardo et  al., 2019), but 

provide competitive advantages to non-native shrimp in Australia 
(

limited evidence

) (Cerato et  al., 2019). Warming and acidification 

will increase HAB toxicity in freshwater systems, but responses may 
be strain-specific (Griffith and Gobler, 2020; Hennon and Dyhrman, 
2020). As for molluscs in marine systems, projected climate change

this is a noted knowledge gap.

5.9.3.2  Marine Aquaculture

5.9.3.2.1  Finfish culture

Global projections of ocean warming, primary productivity and ocean 
acidification predict suitable habitat expansions and short-term growth 
benefits for finfish aquaculture for some regions (

(see Figure 5.15) until thermal tolerances or productivity constraints 
are exceeded by 2090 (Beveridge et  al., 2018b; Dabbadie et  al., 

2018; Froehlich et al., 2018a; Catalán et al., 2019; Thiault et al., 2019; 
Falconer et  al., 2020a). Sensitivities for marine finfish may be high 
even under +1.5–2.0°C (

medium confidence

) (Gattuso et al., 2018), 

resulting in finfish farms moving northward to maintain productivity 
(e.g., Arctic (Troell et al., 2017)). Downscaled projections of regionally 
specific tolerances (Klinger et al., 2017) may be particularly useful for 
management and planning; a 0.5°C rise is predicted for Chilean salmon 
aquaculture (Soto et  al., 2019), and potential negative impacts on 
productivity in Norway by 2029 have been projected (

(Falconer et al., 2020a). Marine heatwaves are predicted to increase in 
occurrence, intensity and persistence under RCP4.5 or RCP8.5 by 2100 
(Oliver et al., 2019; Bricknell et al., 2021), with risk partly mitigated 
by husbandry (

also increase competition for feed ingredients between aquatic and 
terrestrial animal production systems (see Section 5.13.2.).

5.9.3.2.2  Shellfish culture

Globally, there is overall

 high confidence

 that suitable shellfish 

aquaculture habitat will decline by 2100 under projected warming, 
ocean acidification and primary productivity changes, with 
significant negative impacts for some regions and species before 
2100 (Table 5.9, Froehlich et al., 2018a; Ghezzo et al., 2018). Shellfish 
growth will increase with warming waters until tolerances are 
reached, such as through extreme El Niño events (

high confidence

) 

(Beveridge et al., 2018b; Dabbadie et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2018b; Liu 
et al., 2020). Rising temperatures and ocean acidification will result 
in losses of primary productivity and farmed species from tropical and 
subtropical regions, and gains in higher latitudes (

high confidence

) 

(Froehlich et  al., 2018a; Aveytua-Alcazar et  al., 2020; Chapman 
et al., 2020; Des et al., 2020; Oyinlola et al., 2020), but net marine 
production gains could be achieved under strong mitigation (Thiault 
et al., 2019). Shellfish 

Vibrio 

infections will increase with warming 

waters and extreme events, increasing shellfish mortalities (

medium 

confidence

) (Green et al., 2019; Montanchez et al., 2019), with ocean 

acidification impairing immune responses (

limited evidence

) (Cao 

et al., 2018b). Bivalve larvae are known to be highly vulnerable to 
ocean acidification (

high confidence

) (see Section 3.3, Bindoff et al., 

2019), with projected regional and species-specific levels of impact 
(

high confidence

) (Ekstrom et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2017b; Mangi 

et  al., 2018) (Greenhill et  al., 2020). Ocean acidification is also 
projected to weaken shells, affecting productivity and processing 
(

high confidence

) (Martinez et al., 2018; Cummings et al., 2019) and 

dependent livelihoods (Doney et al., 2020).

5.9.3.2.3  Aquatic plant culture

There is 

medium confidence

 that cultivated seaweeds are predicted 

to suffer habitat loss resulting in population declines and northward 
shifts (Table 5.11).

5.9.3.2.4  Societal impacts within the production system

Marine aquaculture provides distinct ecosystem services through 
provisioning (augmenting wild fishery catches), regulating (coastal 
protection, carbon sequestration, nutrient removal, improved water 

clarity), habitat and supporting (artificial habitat) and cultural (livelihoods 
and tourism) services (Gentry et  al., 2020), which vary with species, 
location and husbandry (Alleway et al., 2019). Projected thermal increases 
of 1.5°C will reduce ecosystem services, further reduced under 2°C 
warming, with associated increases in acidification, hypoxia, dead zones, 
flooding and water restrictions (

medium confidence

) (Hoegh-Guldberg 

et al., 2018). Sudden production losses from extreme climate events can 
exacerbate food security challenges across production sectors, including 
aquaculture, increasing global hunger (

high confidence

) (Cottrell et al., 

2019; Food Security Information Network, 2020). While aquaculture 
provides positive influences such as food security and livelihoods, there 
are negative concerns over environmental impacts (including high 
nutrient loads from sites) and socioeconomic conflicts (Alleway et al., 
2019; Soto et  al., 2019), and adoption of ecosystem approaches is 
dependent on particular user groups and regions (Gentry et al., 2017; 
Brugère et al., 2019; Gentry et al., 2020). In coastal Bangladesh, projected 
saline inundation to wetland ecosystem services will result in ecosystem 
services losses of raw materials and food provisioning, ranging from 
USD 0 to 20.0 million under RCP2.6 to RCP8.5 scenarios (Mehvar et al., 
2019). Mangrove deforestation for shrimp farming in Asia negatively 
impacts ecosystem services and reduces climate resilience (

medium 

confidence

) (Mehvar et al., 2019; Nguyen and Parnell, 2019; Reid et al., 

2019; Custódio et al., 2020), while mangrove reforestation efforts may 
have some effectiveness in re-creating important nursery grounds for 
aquatic species (

low confidence)

 (Gentry et al., 2017; Chiayarak et al., 

2019; Hai et al., 2020). Families are highly vulnerable to climate change 
where nutritional needs are being met by self-production, such as in 
Mozambique, Namibia (Villasante et al., 2015), Zambia (Kaminski et al., 
2018) and Bangladesh (

high confidence

) (Pant et  al., 2014). Climate 

change will therefore affect multiple ecosystem services where ultimately 
decisions on balance or trade-offs will vary with regional perceptions of 
service value (

high confidence

).

5.9.4 

Aquaculture Adaptation

5.9.4.1  Adaptation planning

Aquaculture is often viewed as an adaptation option for fisheries 
declines, thereby alleviating food security from losses of other climate 
change impacts (Sowman and Raemaekers, 2018; Johnson et  al., 
2020) such as Pacific Islands freshwater aquaculture, Bangladesh crop-
aquaculture systems or Viet Nam rice–fish cultivations (Soto et  al.,

2018). Many adaptations are specific to regions, countries or sectors, 
implemented on a regional to national scale (FAO, 2018c; Galappaththi 
et al., 2020b). Adaptation likelihood (potential), effectiveness and risk 
of maladaptation was assessed per major FAO production region for 
inland, brackish and marine aquaculture (Figure  5.16) production 
systems. Potential adaptation measures to reduce production loss can 
be built upon existing adaptation planning and guidelines, to reduce 
the risk of maladaptation including feedback loops (e.g., FAO, 2015; 
Bueno and Soto, 2017; Dabbadie et  al., 2018; FAO, 2018c; Poulain 
et al., 2018; Brugère et al., 2019; Pham et al., 2021; Soto et al., 2021). 
Large climate change adaptation strategies for the aquaculture sector 
exist, such as in the USA (Link et al., 2015), Australia (Hobday et al., 
2017) and South Africa (Department of Environmental Affairs, 2016). 
Lower-income countries often lack financial, technical or institutional 
capacity for adaptation planning (Galappaththi et  al., 2020b), but 
examples include Bangladesh and Myanmar (FAO, 2018c), with 
programmes offering adaptation funding (Dabbadie et  al., 2018). 
Early participation of stakeholders in adaptive planning has promoted 
action and ownership of results (

high confidence

), such as in India 

and the USA (Link et  al., 2015; FAO, 2018c; Soto et  al., 2018) Early 
outreach, education and knowledge gap assessments raise awareness, 
where utilisation of local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge 
and scientific involvement support informed adaptive planning and 
uptake for all stakeholders (

high confidence

) (Cooley et al., 2016; FAO, 

2018c; Rybråten et al., 2018; Soto et al., 2018; McDonald et al., 2019; 
Galappaththi et al., 2020b), as perceptions of climate risk and capacity 
will vary (Tiller and Richards, 2018). Supporting the active involvement 
of women helps address gender inequity and perceived risk, 
particularly for smallholder farmers (

high confidence

) (Morgan et al., 

2015; Barange and Cochrane, 2018; FAO, 2018c; Avila-Forcada et al., 
2020). However, regional and national political influences, financial 
and technical capacity, governance planning and policy development 
will ultimately support or hinder adaptation for aquaculture (

high 

confidence

) (Cooley et  al., 2016; FAO, 2018c; Galappaththi et  al., 

2020b; Greenhill et al., 2020).

5.9.4.2  Species selections and selective breeding

Adaptation options at the operational level include species selections, 
such as cultivation of brackish species (shrimp, crabs) during dry seasons, 
and rice-finfish in wetter seasons in Thailand (Chiayarak et al., 2019), 
use of salt-tolerant plants in Viet Nam (Nhung et al., 2019; Paik et al., 
2020), converting inundated rice paddies into aquaculture, rotating 
shrimp, and rice culture (

high confidence

) (Chiayarak et  al., 2019). 

Species diversification through co-culture, integrated aquaculture–
agriculture (e.g., rice–fish) or integrated multi-trophic culture (e.g., 
shrimp–tilapia–seaweed or finfish–bivalve–seaweed) may maintain 
farm long-term performance and viability by: creating new aquaculture 
opportunities; promoting societal and environmental stability; reducing 
GHG emissions through reduced feed usage and waste; and carbon 
sequestration (

medium confidence

) (see Section  5.10, Ahmed et  al., 

2017; Bunting et al., 2017; Gasco et al., 2018, Soto et al., 2018; Ahmed 
et al., 2019; Dubois et al., 2019; FAO, 2019c; Li et al., 2019; Freed et al., 
2020; Galappaththi et al., 2020b; Prasko et al., 2020; Tran et al., 2020). 
In practice, most aquaculture operations concentrate on single-species 
systems (Metian et al., 2020), and barriers such as land availability, 
freshwater resources and lack of credit access may limit the uptake 

and success of integrated adaptation approaches to climate change 
(Ahmed et al., 2019; Tran et al., 2020; Kais and Islam, 2021).

Selective breeding can promote climate resilience (

medium 

confidence

) (Klinger et al., 2017; Fitzer et al., 2019), and operations 

have already intentionally, or unintentionally, selected for production 
traits for changing conditions (de Melo et al., 2016; Tan and Zheng, 
2020). Exposure of broodstock to future climate conditions may or 
may not confer advantages to offspring (

moderate evidence

,

 low 

agreement

) (Parker et al., 2015; Griffith and Gobler, 2017; Thomsen 

et al., 2017; Durland et al., 2019). Traditional pedigree developments 
require extensive phenotypic data, but genomic selections can rapidly 
select for robust climate-associated traits (Sae-Lim et  al., 2017; 
Gutierrez et al., 2018; Zenger et al., 2018; Houston et al., 2020; Tan and 
Zheng, 2020). Genomic resources are available for salmon, rainbow 
trout, coho, carp, tilapia, seabass, bream, turbot, flounder, catfish, 
yellow drum, scallops, oysters and shrimp, but have been developed 
for disease and growth selections rather than climate resistance 
(Dégremont et  al., 2015a; Dégremont et  al., 2015b; Abdelrahman 
et al., 2017; Gjedrem and Rye, 2018; Gutierrez et al., 2018; Guo et al., 
2018; Liu et al., 2018a; FAO, 2019d; Houston et al., 2020), although 
bivalve selections for ocean acidification and warming resiliency are 
underway (Tan and Zheng, 2020). Targeted genome editing could 
modify phenotypes of major aquaculture species (Li et  al., 2014a; 
Elaswad et al., 2018; Yu et al., 2019; Houston et al., 2020), but uptake 
is dependent upon national regulatory and public approvals. Local 
adaptations within species with higher climate resiliencies may assist 
in selections (Thomsen et al., 2017; Falkenberg et al., 2019; Scanes 
et al., 2020; Toomey et al., 2020), but highlight the need to consider 
specific farming environments for selective processes (Houston et al., 
2020). Projections of climate on aquaculture production traits are not 
well understood (Lhorente et  al., 2019); therefore, genetic diversity 
needs to be maintained to ensure population fitness (

high confidence

) 

(Bitter et al., 2019; Lhorente et al., 2019; Visch et al., 2019; Houston 
et al., 2020; Mantri et al., 2020).

5.9.4.3  Farm site selection, infrastructure and husbandry

Land-based aquaculture systems including hatcheries may reduce 
exposure to climatic extremes (due to better control of the culture 
environment), limit water usage, reduce juvenile reliance and buffer 
climate effects using optimal diets (

high confidence

) (Barton et  al., 

2015; Reid et al., 2019; Cominassi et al., 2020). However, land-based 
aquaculture requires large capital and operational costs and use of 
land, increasing conflicts between land and water use, have increased 
energy demands (increasing GHG if fossil fuels are the primary energy 
source), require necessary expertise and will not reduce outgrowing 
exposures (

high confidence

) (see Section 5.13, Beveridge et al., 2018b; 

Soto et al., 2018; Tillotson et al., 2019; Costello et al., 2020; Prakoso 
et al., 2020).

Geographical selection of marine farm sites may prevent climate 
productivity declines (

medium confidence

) (Froehlich et  al., 2018a; 

Sainz et al., 2019; Oyinlola et al., 2020), particularly for temperature-
related mortality hotspots (Garrabou et  al., 2019), HAB occurrences 
(Dabbadie et  al., 2018) or extreme events (Liu et  al., 2020; Wu 
et al., 2020). However, while downscaled climate forecasts facilitate

localised adaptation planning (Falconer et al., 2020a), such projections 
are rare (Whitney et al., 2020). GIS can be used for climate adaptive 
planning along with routine site assessments (Falconer et al., 2020b; 
Galappaththi et  al., 2020b; Jayanthi et  al., 2020). Building coastal 
protection, stronger cages and mooring systems, and deeper ponds 

and using sheltered bays can reduce escapees and mortalities related 
to flooding, increased storms and extreme events (

) 

(Dabbadie et al., 2018; Bricknell et al., 2021; Kais and Islam, 2021).

adaptation measures, such as conversion of land to mixed plant–
animal systems (Nguyen et al., 2019a), conversion of freshwater ponds 
to brackish or saline aquaculture (Galappaththi et al., 2020b), building 
of dams and dykes (Renaud et al., 2015) and intensification of shrimp 
or fish pond culture to reduce water and land usage (Nguyen et al., 
2019b; Johnson et  al., 2020). Other adaptation options for limited 
water supply are government equitable water allocations and water 
storage (

high confidence

) (Bunting et  al., 2017; Galappaththi et  al., 

2020b).

Feed formulations and improved feed conversion can reduce climate-
associated stress for freshwater species, significantly reducing waste 
and increase sustainability (

medium confidence

) (FAO, 2018c; Gasco 

et al., 2018; Chen and Villoria, 2019). Projected decreases in fish meal 
and global targets of limiting warming to under 2°C may increase 
the ratio of plant-based diets but reduce fish nutritional content 
(see Sections  5.10 and 5.13, Hasan and Soto, 2017; Johnson et  al., 
2020). Companies provide insurance in major production areas, but 
aquaculture is considered high risk with large levels of small claims 
(Secretan et al., 2007). Insurance covers natural disasters and disease, 
helping to reduce and cope with climate-induced risk, enabling faster 
livelihood recoveries and preventing poverty (

high agreement

, 

limited 

evidence

) (Xinhua et al., 2017; Kalikoski et al., 2018; Soto et al., 2018). 

For example, small-scale shrimp farmers were willing to pay higher 
premiums to manage risk, after participation in government pilot 
insurance schemes, ensuring greater pay-outs if a mortality event 
occurred (Nyguyen and Pongthanapanic, 2016; Pongthanapanic et al., 
2019). Technological innovations are more widely implemented in 
larger operations, with Internet access promoting adoption at the 
farm site (Joffre et  al., 2017; Salazar et  al., 2018). Improved farm 
management is a key opportunity (

high confidence

) to reduce climate 

risks on aquaculture, where Best Management Practices can increase 
resiliency (Soto et  al., 2018) and lower additional risk from non-
climatic stressors (Gattuso et al., 2018; Smith and Bernard, 2020), and 
decision-tree frameworks can provide adaptation choices when events 
occur (Nguyen et al., 2016).

5.9.4.4  Early-warning and monitoring systems

Globally, monitoring is increasing to fill scientific uncertainties 
(Goldsmith et  al., 2019) but is not often at spatial scales which 
facilitate farm or regional adaptation management (Whitney et al., 
2020) or data complexities prevent direct uptake by operators, 
resource managers and policymakers (

medium confidence

) (Soto 

et al., 2018; Gallo et al., 2019). Specialised industry portals (Pacific 
shellfish) and government-established monitoring programmes 
(Chilean salmon) and other observational networks (e.g., Global 
Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON)) can provide 
real-time monitoring and early-warning event alerts and facilitate 
aquaculture decision making (

medium confidence

) (Cross et al., 2019; 

Farcy et al., 2019; Soto et al., 2019; Tilbrook et al., 2019; Bresnahan 
et  al., 2020; Peck et  al., 2020). Seasonal forecasting, downscaled 
models and early-warning systems provide valuable regional or 
farm site risk information (Hobday et al., 2018; Galappaththi et al., 
2020b; Whitney et al., 2020), but monitoring will need to be useful 
for farmers, involve farmers, and be accurate, timely, cost-effective, 
reviewed and maintained in order to ensure uptake (

high confidence

) 

(Soto et  al., 2018). Early-warning systems for HABs enable rapid 
decision making and risk mitigation (

medium confidence

), such 

as ocean colour monitoring in South Africa (Smith and Bernard, 
2020), where early harvesting and additional husbandry were used 
to minimise production and economic losses (Pitcher et al., 2019). 
New tools, strategies and observations are needed to predict HAB 
occurrences and range shifts with changing climate (

high confidence

) 

(Schaefer et al., 2019; Tester et al., 2020), as there is uncertainty on 
drivers of incidence and toxicity (Wells et al., 2020).

5.9.5 

Contributions of Indigenous, Traditional and Local 
Knowledge

Indigenous mariculture practices, such as intertidal clam gardens, 
have been occurring for thousands of years, providing knowledge of 
traditional practices still applicable to mariculture (Deur et al., 2015; 
Jackley et  al., 2016; Poulain et  al., 2018; Bell et  al., 2019; Toniello 
et  al., 2019). Indigenous groups differ in opinions on aquaculture 
acceptability, implications for coastal management and territorial rights 
(

high confidence

) (Young et al., 2019). Such perceptions may determine 

culturally appropriate types and benefits of aquaculture (employment, 
food diversification, income, building autonomy and skillsets), such as 
in Australia (Petheram et  al., 2013) and Canada (Young and Liston, 
2010). Marginalised people, like small-scale aquaculture farmers in 
lower-income and lower-middle-income countries, are often overlooked 
and are not represented at a governance level (Barange et al., 2014; 
Kalikoski et  al., 2018). Therefore policy, economic, knowledge and 
other support must ensure representation with traditional and other 
stakeholder ecological knowledge at national, regional and local levels 
to facilitate climate change adaptation and safeguard human rights for 
poor and vulnerable groups (

high confidence

) (Kalikoski et al., 2018; 

Poulain et al., 2018).

5.10 

Mixed Systems

The food and livelihoods of many rural people depend on combinations 
of crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries, and still information on these 
mixed systems is scarce. Rural households in low- and middle-income 
countries earn almost 70% of their income through mixed production 
systems (Angelsen et al., 2014). These systems produce about half of 
the world’s cereals, most of the fruits, vegetables, pulses, roots and 
tubers, and most of the staple crops and livestock products consumed 
by poor people in lower-income countries (Herrero et al., 2017). They 
can help in adapting to climatic risks and reducing GHG emissions 
by improving nutrient flows and improving the recycling of nutrients 
within the production system and by increasing food production and 
diet quality per unit of land and diversifying income sources (Smith 
et  al., 2019c). Indigenous groups often practice mixed production, 
integrating crops, animals, fisheries, forestry and agroforestry through 
traditional ecological knowledge.

Some evidence exists of the buffering capacity that integrated 
systems can provide in the face of climate change (Gil et al., 2017). 
This buffering, often affecting the farming system as a whole rather 
than the individual agricultural enterprises involved, applies to some

Chapter 5

aquaculture–agriculture systems as well as to crop–livestock systems 
(Bunting et al., 2017; Stewart-Koster et al., 2017). In some situations, 
there may be trade-offs and constraints at the household level that 
affect this resilience-conferring ability: for instance, mixed systems 
often need relatively high levels of management skill, and extra labour 
may be required (van Keulen and Schiere, 2004; Thornton and Herrero, 
2015). The diversification of food production systems offers promise 
for enhanced resilience at the global level (Kremen and Merenlender, 
2018; Dainese et  al., 2019; Section  5.4.4.4), though policies need 
to provide adequate incentives for resource efficiency, equity and 
environmental protection (Havet et  al., 2014; Thornton and Herrero, 
2014; Troell et al., 2014).

5.10.1  Observed Impacts

5.10.1.1  Mixed crop–livestock systems

Overall, there is 

high confidence

 that farm strategies that integrate 

mixed crop–livestock systems can improve farm productivity and 
have positive sustainability outcomes (Havet et  al., 2014; Thornton 
and Herrero, 2014; Herrero et al., 2015; Thornton and Herrero, 2015; 
HLPE, 2019). The scale of the improvement varies between regions and 
systems and is moderated by overall demand in specific food products 
and the policy context. Integrated crop–livestock systems present 
opportunities for the control of weeds, pests and diseases. They can 
also provide a range of environmental benefits, such as increased soil 
carbon and soil water retention, increased biodiversity and reduced 
need for inorganic fertilizers (Havet et al., 2014; Thornton and Herrero, 
2014; Herrero et al., 2015; Thornton and Herrero, 2015; HLPE, 2019).

Research indicates that mixed crop–livestock systems are often more 
resilient to climate change 

(medium confidence

). In the southern Afar 

region of Ethiopia, crop–livestock households were more resilient than 
livestock-only households to climate-induced shock (Mekuyie et  al., 
2018). However, the

 

benefits of managing crop–livestock interactions 

in response to climate change depend on local context. For example, 
in higher-rainfall zones in Australia, Nie et al. (2016) found some yield 
reductions and difficulty in maintaining groundcover. The systematic 
review of Gil et al. (2017) concluded that the integration of crop and 
livestock enterprises as an adaptation measure can enhance resilience 
(FAQ 5.1).

Reconfiguration of mixed farming systems is occurring. In semi-
arid eastern Senegal, Brottem and Brooks (2018) found increasing 
reliance on livestock production mostly because of changing climate 
conditions. Many poorer households are having to rely on migration to 
compensate for shortfalls in crop production arising from a changing 
climate. Some farmers have successfully shifted to crop–livestock 
systems in Australia, where they have allocated land and forage 
resources in response to climate and price trends (Bell et al., 2014).

Mixed livestock–crop systems may increase burdens on women, 
require managing competing uses of crop residues, and have higher 
requirements of capital and management skills. These factors can 
be challenging in many lower-income countries (Rufino et al., 2013; 
Thornton and Herrero, 2015; Jost et  al., 2016; Thornton, 2018). The 

policy actions needed for the successful operation of mixed crop–
livestock systems may be similar across widely different situations: 
good access to credit inputs and capacity building needed to facilitate 
uptake (Hassen et al., 2017; Marcos-Martinez et al., 2017), and good 
levels of market infrastructure (Ouédraogo et al., 2017; Iiyama et al., 
2018).

5.10.1.2  Mixed crop–aquatic systems

Households may have a mix of aquatic and land-based food 
production, contributing to food security and nutrition and income 
generation (Freed et al., 2020; see also discussion of aquaponics and 
hydroponics in Section  5.10.4.3. and combined rice–aquatic species 
production in Section  5.9.4). Failures in agricultural outputs due to 
climate-associated factors may result in diversification to fisheries 
as a way of alleviating food production shortfalls; for example, 
fisheries landings may dramatically increase after agricultural failures 
following hurricanes, which can subsequently create overfishing 
collapses (Cottrell et al., 2019). Where climatic impact drivers affect 
multiple sectors, adaptation may become more difficult because of the 
interacting challenges (Cottrell et al., 2019). One study of 12 countries 
with high food insecurity levels found that fish-reliant households 
utilised as much land as those not reliant on fish (Fisher et al., 2017). 
To meet food security requirements, most of these households needed 
to both farm and fish, illustrating the interdependence of aquatic–
terrestrial food systems.

5.10.1.3  Agroforestry systems

Agroforestry is frequently mentioned as a strategy to adapt to and 
mitigate climate change and address food security (de Coninck et al., 
2018; Smith et  al., 2019c). There is strong evidence of net positive 
biophysical and socioeconomic effects of agroforestry systems under 
both smallholder and large-scale mechanised production systems 
(Quandt et  al., 2017; Hoegh-Guldberg et  al., 2018; Sida et  al., 2018; 
Wood and Baudron, 2018; Table 5.10; Cross-Chapter Box NATURAL in 
Chapter 2; Quandt et al., 2019). Many of these effects also reduce climate 
risk. At the same time, agroforestry systems are subject to impacts from 
climate change, potentially reducing the benefits they provide. Still, there 
is limited evidence of observed climate impacts on agroforestry systems, 
and modelling climate impacts is more complex for agroforestry than for 
single cropping systems (Luedeling et al., 2014).

5.10.2  Assessing Vulnerabilities

5.10.2.1  Assessing vulnerability in mixed systems

Important information gaps exist concerning the costs and benefits 
of many adaptation options in mixed systems, where the interactions 
between farming enterprises may be complex. Among communal 
crop–livestock farmers in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, Bahta 
(2016) reported high levels of vulnerability to drought and highlighted 
the need for more coordination between monitoring agencies in terms 
of reliable early-warning information that can be communicated 
appropriately, between farmers’ organisations and the private sector 
to facilitate adaptation options that can overcome feed shortages such

as fodder purchases in times of drought, and between government 
departments at the national and provincial level that address the 
concerns and needs of affected communities. Nyamushamba (2017) 
reviewed the use of indigenous beef cattle breeds in smallholder 
mixed production systems in southern Africa. Some of these breeds 
exhibit adaptive traits such as drought and heat tolerance and 
resistance to tick-borne diseases. However, their adaptation potential 
in crossbreeding programmes is essentially unknown, as most African 
cattle populations are still largely uncharacterised.

5.10.2.2  Social vulnerabilities

As in other production systems, Indigenous groups, gender, race and 
other social categories can result in heightened vulnerability to climate 
change in mixed production systems owing to historical and current 
marginalisation and discrimination (

high confidence

) (Parraguez-

Vergara et  al., 2016; Baptiste and Devonish, 2019; Moulton and 
Machado, 2019; Popke and Rhiney, 2019; Fagundes et al., 2020). A study 
of the Mapuche Indigenous group in Chile found that marginalisation 
and discrimination worsened their vulnerability and observed impacts 
of climate change because they had less access to services and lower 
incomes and were not as high a priority as other groups (Parraguez-
Vergara et  al., 2016). Among fisherfolk on Lake Wamala, Uganda, 
Musinguzi (2018) found evidence of considerable diversification to crop 
and livestock production as a means of increasing households’ food 
security and income, but women had greater workloads and less control 
over new income sources than men. Ngigi (2017) evaluated adaptation 
actions within households in rural Kenya and found that women tended 
to adopt adaptation strategies related to crops, and men to livestock 
and agroforestry activities. Chingala (2017) found substantial gender- 
and age-related differences in control of access to animal feed, animal 
health and water resources in beef producers in mixed crop–livestock 
systems in Malawi. In a review of agriculture–aquaculture systems in 
coastal Bangladesh, Hossain et al. (2018) showed that existing policies 
and adaptation mechanisms are not adequately addressing gender 
power imbalances, and women continue to be marginalised, leading 
to increasing feminisation of food insecurity. Such studies highlight the 
need to consider gender and other social inequities when examining 
adaptation in mixed production systems, particularly in situations in 
which men and women have different levels of control over productive 
assets (Cross-Chapter Box GENDER in Chapter 18).

5.10.3  Projected Impacts

The impacts of climate change on risk in mixed farming systems are 
projected to be dependent on market, ecosystem and policy context 
(

medium evidence

,

 low agreement

). In mixed crop–livestock farms in 

a semi-arid region of Zimbabwe, Descheemaeker (2018) found that 
feeding forages and grain could alleviate dry-season feed gaps to the 
2050s, but their effectiveness depended on the household’s livestock 
stocking density. In comparing different commercial production 
systems, Tibesigwa (2017) found that, under South African conditions, 
climate change to the 2050s will reduce productivity across the 
agricultural sector, with the largest impacts occurring in specialised 
commercial crop farms owing to their relative lack of diversity. Mixed 
farming systems were the least vulnerable in terms of relative effects 

on farm output; this applied to commercial and subsistence sectors 
(Tibesigwa et al., 2017). Other studies suggest increased risk in mixed 
systems in semi-arid conditions. In northern Burkina Faso, Rigolot (2017) 
examined different crop fertilisation and animal supplementation 
levels under RCP8.5 to the 2050s. They found that, although aggregate 
profits could be increased via moderate levels of inputs, the use of 
external inputs may increase risk because of marginal costs exceeding 
marginal benefits in lower rainfall years. In the Western Australian 
wheat belt, Thamo (2017) assessed climate-change-induced shifts in 
farm profitability to the 2050s. For most options, the adverse effects 
on profitability were greater than the advantageous effects, profit 
margins being much more sensitive to climate change than production 
levels. However, in the same system, Ghahramani (2018) evaluated 
adaptation options to 2030 and found that a shift to a greater reliance 
on livestock could be profitable, even in years with low rainfall.

Risk management in integrated production systems may constitute a 
barrier to uptake of adaptation options (Rigolot et al., 2017). Watson 
(2018) highlighted the current lack of financial risk management tools 
that could be used in smallholder coastal communities. Alongside other 
risk management tools such as weather-based index insurance, risk 
pooling may find wide application in different farming systems as an 
effective adaptation measure (

medium agreement

,

 limited evidence

) 

(Hansen et al., 2019a).

Climate change impacts on productivity of agroforestry systems are 
similar to individual perennial crops, although there is limited research on 
tree crops (see Section 5.4.1.2). Impacts include increased temperature 
or water stress, an increase in pathogens affecting crops, changes to 
pollinator abundance, and changes in the nutrient content of one or 
more of the agroforestry components. Many tree products such as fruits 
and nuts are grown in agroforestry settings. The quality and nutrition of 
these products and other specialty crops are often negatively affected 
by rising temperatures, ambient CO

2

 concentrations and tropospheric 

ozone (Ahmed and Stepp, 2016). There is also evidence that the fungus 
coffee rust will be positively affected by climate change (Avelino et al., 
2015; Bebber et al., 2016), with adverse effects on coffee agroforestry 
systems.

While shade trees can ameliorate increasing stand temperatures that 
will significantly impact arabica coffee (Ovalle-Rivera et  al., 2015; 
Schroth et al., 2015), the opposite can also be true. Comparing shade 
and full-sun coffee systems in Ghana, Abdulai (2018) concluded 
that the leguminous tree species providing shade and additional 
nitrogen led to soil water competition with the coffee trees during 
severe drought, resulting in enhanced coffee mortality. On the other 
hand, experimentally induced drought in a soybean-intercropping 
agroforestry system in eastern Canada led to crop losses in the 
monocropping system only, whereas N-fixation declined in both 
systems (Nasielski et  al., 2015). Thus, balancing the synergies and 
trade-offs of multiple component systems is necessary based on local 
context. While species diversification can enhance resilience to climate 
shocks, lack of water can constrain the implementation of agroforestry 
practices in arid locations (Apuri et al., 2018).

For people reliant on both agriculture and fisheries for food production, 
regional differences in productivity effects of climate change are

expected; populations in LMICs that are already vulnerable will be 
most affected by simultaneous reductions in fisheries and agricultural 
productivity (Blanchard et  al., 2017). Twelve out of 17 high-income 
countries in Europe showed projected increases in agricultural 
production where adaptive capacity is higher, and agricultural and 
food fisheries’ dependence was lower. Some LMIC countries (Nigeria, 
Cameroon, Ghana and Gabon) showed relative reductions in both 
fisheries and agricultural production, where food insecurity, human 
population growth and fisheries overexploitation rates are high 
(Blanchard et al., 2017). Model projections under the RCP6.0 scenario 
show decrease in marine and terrestrial production to 2050 in 87 out 
of the 119 coastal countries studied, even though there is a wide 

variance in adaptive capacity and relative and combined dependencies 
on fisheries and agriculture (Blanchard et al., 2017). A projected 2050 
move towards greater consumption of cultured seafood and less meat 
showed that aquaculture requires less feed crops and land, but was 
regionally dependent upon differing patterns of production, trade and 
feed composition (Froehlich et al., 2018b).

Box 5.7: Perspectives of Crop and Livestock Farmers on Observed Changes in Climate in the Sahel

The Sahel region of West Africa has experienced some of the most severe multi-decadal rainfall variations in the world: excessive rainfall 
in the 1950s–1960s followed by two decades of deficient rainfall, leading to a large negative trend until the mid-to-late 1980s with 
a decrease in annual rainfall of between 20% and 30%. Recently, there has been a partial recovery of annual rainfall amounts, more 
significant over the central than the western Sahel. This recovery is characterised by new rainfall features, including false starts and early 
cessation of rainy seasons, increased frequency of rainy days, increased precipitation intensity and more frequent and longer dry spells 
(Salack et al., 2015; Sanogo et al., 2015; Salack et al., 2016; Biasutti, 2019). The Sahel is experiencing a new era of rainfall extremes 
(Bichet and Diedhiou, 2018; Panthou et al., 2018), suggesting an intensification of the hydrological cycle (Doblas-Reyes et al., 2021).

The ways in which crop and livestock farmers in the Sahel have responded to climatic variability have been studied widely (Sissoko, 2011; 
Gonzalez et al., 2012; Jalloh et al., 2013; Gautier et al., 2016; Sultan and Gaetani, 2016; Zougmoré et al., 2016; Segnon, 2019). Local 
communities have developed an extensive Indigenous ecological knowledge system, enabling them to make use of ecosystem services to 
support their livelihoods and to survive environmental change (Nyong et al., 2007; Mertz et al., 2009; Lahmar et al., 2012; Segnon et al., 
2015). These knowledge systems have been crucial in people’s resilience to and recovery from major environmental change, such as the 
severe drought period experienced in the region in the 1970s and 1980s (Nyong et al., 2007; Lahmar et al., 2012; Segnon et al., 2015; 
Gautier et al., 2016; Zouré et al., 2019). As climate change became evident and a primary concern on the global agenda, interest in local 
people’s knowledge and understanding of climate change has also increased (Mertz et al., 2009; Tambo and Abdoulaye, 2013; Traore 
et al., 2015; Kosmowski et al., 2016; Sanogo et al., 2017; Segnon, 2019).

There is no simple understanding of crop and livestock farmers’ response in the Sahel to rainfall variability. Nielsen and Reenberg (2010) 
developed human–environment timelines for the period 1950–2008 for a small village in northern Burkina Faso, relating livelihood 
diversification and crop–livestock management changes that map closely to local rainfall variability, such as fields abandoned in dry 
years and intense animal manure use in wet years. Although they found a significant correlation between crop–livestock management 
practice changes and major climatic events, the climate is only one of many interacting factors that influence local adaptation strategies 
(Mortimore, 2010; Nielsen and Reenberg, 2010; Sendzimir et al., 2011). Robust attribution of observed changes to specific change drivers 
remains a challenge.

Crop and livestock farmers’ knowledge and perceptions of increases in temperature and temperature-related stressors (heatwaves, 
number of extreme hot or cold days) are consistent with the observed meteorological data (Mertz et al., 2009; Mertz, 2012; Tambo and 
Abdoulaye, 2013; Traore et al., 2015; Sanogo et al., 2017; Segnon, 2019). Their perceptions of changes in rainfall amounts have not 
always been consistent with the observational record (Mertz, 2012; Segnon, 2019). Nevertheless, their perception of increases in dry spell 
occurrence during the rainy season and changes in rainfall pattern (onset, cessation, intensity and distribution) were consistent with the 
recent observations (Barbier et al., 2009; Ouédraogo et al., 2010; Tambo and Abdoulaye, 2013; Salack et al., 2015; Traore et al., 2015; 
Kosmowski et al., 2016; Salack et al., 2016; Segnon, 2019). Rainfall patterns within the season, rather than the total amounts of rainfall, 
matter more for crop and livestock farmers in the Sahel (Segnon, 2019).

Crop and livestock farmers in the Sahel have a sophisticated understanding of the local climate. There is considerable potential to 
harness this knowledge, coupled with an enabling institutional environment, in developing policies and adaptation plans (Rasmussen 
et al., 2018); the Sahel is a region where meteorological stations and observed data are scarce (Buytaert et al., 2012; Nkiaka et al., 2017). 
A deeper understanding of the resilience of local ecological knowledge systems, in light of the hydro-climatic intensification currently 
experienced in the region and future changes, may well provide further insights into their long-term effectiveness.

5.10.4  Adaptation Strategies

5.10.4.1  Increasing integration and diversity within mixed systems

There is 

medium confidence

 in the effectiveness of changing 

the nature of the integration between crops and livestock as an 
adaptation: moving from crops to livestock, moving from livestock to 
crops, and moving from one species of livestock to others, for example 
(Roy et al., 2018). Such transitions that increase integration between 
farm enterprises may contribute to risk reduction and increased food 
security. In areas with adequate rainfall and relatively limited rainfall 
variability under climate change, where agricultural diversity is the 
greatest, transitions towards more diverse and integrated systems may 
bring substantial adaptation benefits (Waha et al., 2018).

Barriers to increasing integration and diversification include policies 
which support cereals and crop specialisation, lack of markets, limited 
post-harvest processing, limited technical or biophysical research on 
implementation and poor market infrastructure (Keatinge et al., 2015; 
Bodin et  al., 2016; Garibaldi et  al., 2016; Bassett and Koné, 2017; 
Kongsager, 2017; Rhiney et  al., 2018; Roesch-McNally et  al., 2018; 
Clay and King, 2019; Ickowitz et al., 2019). Proactive policy and market 
development are needed to reduce these barriers (Clay and King, 2019; 
Ickowitz et al., 2019; See 5.14.3.8 for Insurance).

5.10.4.2  Agroforestry as an adaptation–mitigation strategy for 

mixed systems

Agroforestry, the purposeful integration of trees or shrubs with crop 
or livestock systems, increases resilience against climate risks through 
a range of biophysical and economic effects (

high confidence

). 

Traditional agroforestry has been practiced for millennia and provides 
prime examples of sustainable agroecological production systems 
meeting the production, income and socio-cultural needs of farming 
communities within their ecological niches, but market forces have 

often led to their demise (McNeely and Schroth, 2006; Plieninger and 
Schaar, 2008; García-Martínez et  al., 2016; Krčmářová and Jeleček, 
2016; Coq-Huelva et al., 2017; Paudel et al., 2017; Doddabasawa et al., 
2018; Maezumi et al., 2018; Lincoln, 2020). The wide range of options 
to associate different trees with crops, livestock and aquaculture 
allows agroforestry to be practiced in most regions, including those 
with precipitation regimes ranging from semi-arid to humid. While 
most agroforestry systems occur in smallholder settings, there are 
examples of successful industrial-scale mechanised agroforestry 
systems (Feliciano et al., 2018; Lovell et al., 2018). Agroforestry delivers 
medium to large benefits to all five land challenges described in the 
SRCCL—climate change mitigation, adaptation, desertification, land 
degradation and food security—and is considered to have broad 
adaptation and moderate mitigation potential compared with other 
land challenges (Smith et  al., 2019c). Agroforestry is also able to 
deliver multiple biophysical and socioeconomic benefits (Table 5.12).

The adoption and maintenance of agroforestry practices require 
appropriate incentives or the removal of barriers (

high confidence

). 

Agroforestry adoption has been limited to date in both higher-income 
and lower-income countries. Several constraints need to be carefully 
addressed for successful scaling-up of agroforestry systems, including 
costs of establishment, limited short-term benefits, lack of reliable 
financial support to incentivise longer-term returns on investments, land 
tenure, knowledge of and experience with trees and the management of 
multiple component systems, and inadequate market access, (Coulibaly 
et al., 2017; Iiyama et al., 2017; Jacobi et al., 2017; Kongsager, 2017; 
Hernández-Morcillo et  al., 2018; Iiyama et  al., 2018; Lincoln, 2019). 
Kongsager (2017) and Roupsard et al. (2020) also highlight the need 
for vertical integration of measures from local to national scales to 
successfully address local barriers to adoption. Although there are few 
studies evaluating the long-term performance of agroforestry systems 
(Coe et al., 2014; Meijer et al., 2015; Brockington et al., 2016; Kongsager, 
2017; Toth et al., 2017), the available results suggest that successful 
adoption of agroforestry practices depends strongly on the local

5.10.4.3  Links between crops and aquaponics–hydroponics as 

adaptation

Hydroponic systems produce plants in a soilless environment requiring 
mineral fertilizers to meet plant nutritional needs, whereas aquaponics 
combines an aquaculture production system with hydroponics, where 
fish waste provides nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium for plant 
growth and nitrifying and mineralising bacteria act as filters (Goddek 
et al., 2015; Pérez-Urrestarazu et al., 2019; Ghamkhar et al., 2020). The 
relative environmental impact of hydroponic systems is lower com-
pared with conventional systems owing to the significant reductions 
in land use and fertilizer usage (

high confidence

) (Goddek et al., 2015; 

Datta et al., 2018; Pantanella, 2018; Suhl et al., 2018; El-Essawy et al., 
2019; Jaeger et al., 2019; Monsees et al., 2019; Mupambwa et al., 2019; 
Pérez-Urrestarazu et al., 2019; Ghamkhar et al., 2020). While studies 
indicate that aquaponics and hydroponics have higher yields and a 
lower environmental footprint than conventional agriculture (

medium 

confidence

), aquaculture and heated greenhouse production (Panta-

nella, 2018; Romeo et al., 2018), aquaponic production may need to 
be coupled or decoupled or have double-recirculation systems to meet 
the different requirements of farmed fish and crop species (Pantanella, 
2018; Suhl et al., 2018; Mupambwa et al., 2019). Aquaponics and hy-
droponics are a promising adaptation option for urban agriculture, with 
benefits including a protected growing environment from climate ex-
tremes, reduced GHG emissions related to food transportation, reduced 
food waste, rainwater harvesting and use of food waste (

medium agree-

ment

, 

limited evidence

) (Goddek et al., 2015; Al-Kodmany, 2018; Clin-

ton et al., 2018; Weidner and Yang, 2020). Such systems show promise 
for reducing food production environmental footprints and increasing 
food security, particularly in arid or water-stressed environments (Doyle 
et al., 2018; Mupambwa et al., 2019). Barriers to aquaponics and hydro-
ponics adoption include market acceptance of cultured fish species and 
desirability of plant crops, lack of expertise, legal constraints or high 
investment costs and financial feasibility (Bosma et al., 2017; Al-Kod-
many, 2018; Datta et al., 2018; Pantanella, 2018; El-Essawy et al., 2019; 
Martin and Molin, 2019; Pérez-Urrestarazu et al., 2019; Specht et al., 
2019). There is 

high confidence

 (

high agreement

,

 medium evidence

) 

that a major barrier to hydroponic and aquaponics adoption is the re-
quirement for skilled operators (Goddek et al., 2015; Bosma et al., 2017; 
Datta et al., 2018; McHunu et al., 2018; Pantanella, 2018), which could 
be mitigated by decoupling systems and disciplines (Pantanella, 2018). 
As yet, these systems are not widely implemented and information on 
their climate change impacts is limited.

5.10.4.4  Transitions in and between mixed systems as 

adaptation strategy

Transitions in and between the different elements of integrated 
agricultural systems can be an effective adaptation option 

(medium 

confidence

). Havlik et  al. (2014) projected that, by 2030, market-

driven autonomous transitions towards more efficient production 
systems would increase ruminant meat and milk productivity by 
up to 20% and decrease emissions by 736 MtCO

2

e y

−1

, most of this 

arising through avoided emissions from the conversion of 162 Mha of 

natural land. Weindl et al. (2015) assessed the implications of several 
climate projections on land use change to 2045 and found that shifts 
in livestock production towards mixed crop–livestock systems would 
represent a resource- and cost-efficient adaptation option, reducing 
global agricultural adaptation costs and abating deforestation by 
about 76 million ha globally. Both studies suggest that public policy 
support for transitioning livestock production systems to increase their 
efficiency could be an important lever for reducing adaptation costs and 
contributing to emissions reductions. This policy support could include 
modified regulatory and certification frameworks that incentivise 
livestock producers to adapt and mitigate (Weindl et al., 2015).

Recent reviews have summarised literature on production system 
transitions, driven at least partly by a changing climate or changing 
climate variability, that sometimes involves substantial shifts in 
enterprises and land configurations. These reviews found several cases 
of transitions affecting pastoral and mixed systems, with a range of 
responses including intensification, diversification and sedentarisation 
as well as the abandonment of agriculture (see Section  5.14.3.1, 
Vermeulen et al., 2018; Thornton et al., 2019). The consequences of these 
system transitions have been mixed; in some cases, the household-level 
outcomes have been beneficial, while in others not. Policy environments, 
defined in terms of multi-level governance structures and institutions, 
are critical enablers of change. The vulnerability of many crop–livestock 
keepers to climate change is particularly affected by property and grazing 
rights (

high confidence

). Identifying the winners and losers from changes 

in land ownership and the use of communal lands in the coming decades 
is a key challenge for the research agenda, particularly as climate change 
impacts in the marginal lands intensify (Reid et al., 2014).

5.11 

The Supply Chain from Post-harvest to 

Food

The food system is more than just the production of food. It includes 
domestic and international transportation, storage, processing, market 
infrastructure and institutions that make up value chains, as well as the 
food environment in which consumers make food purchasing decisions 
(HLPE, 2017a). Climate change impacts along the value chain alter 
availability, access and stability of food security. Nutrition-dense 
foods tend to be more perishable and are thus more vulnerable to 
limitations of food storage and transportation infrastructure (Ickowitz 
et  al., 2019). Climate-change-related damage to food in storage 
(e.g., electricity failures and loss of cold storage) and transportation 
infrastructure (e.g., extreme weather events damaging roads and other 
infrastructure) could significantly decrease availability and increase 
the cost of highly perishable, nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, 
fish, meat and dairy.

This discussion of the post-harvest food system (i.e., after production 
or catch) focuses on three key elements—food safety, storage, and 
domestic and international transactions—that could see significant 
climate change impacts, either directly or indirectly. Higher temperatures 
and humidity can increase post-harvest loss from pests and diseases, 
increase occurrence of food-borne diseases and contamination, and 
raise the cost of refrigeration and other forms of preservation. Extreme 
weather events can cause disruptions to food transport networks

and storage infrastructure. Changes in regional weather can cause 
production centres to shift locations, potentially requiring changes in 
storage and processing locations. Prices to producers and consumers 
will change, although directions and magnitudes are determined by 
local conditions and policies.

the subset of food loss that is potentially recoverable for food use. As 

a product moves in the post-harvest chain to end users, post-harvest 
food loss from climate change can occur from improper handling to 
damage from microorganisms, insects, rodents or birds. Post-harvest 
losses in quality can be the result of stresses and damage to a plant or 
animal before harvest, including from climate change (Hodges et al., 
2011; Medina et  al., 2015a). Food

may occur at both retail units and homes because fresh ingredients

Box 5.8: Climate Adaptation and Maladaptation in Cocoa and Coffee Production

Coffee and cocoa are important crops in low-latitude regions where agriculture is projected to be heavily impacted by climate change. 
Both crops are at risk from climate change impacts by 2050 (Baca et al., 2014; Ovalle-Rivera et al., 2015; Chemura et al., 2016; Schroth 
et al., 2016; Bacon et al., 2017; Schreyer et al., 2018; de Sousa et al., 2019; Lahive et al., 2019; Pham et al., 2019; Cilas and Bastide, 2020). 
Chocolate and coffee are notable among foods in that their carbon footprint ranges from negative to high, as these industries include 
both low-input agroforestry systems that have many co-benefits, and high-input monoculture systems where crops are grown without 
shade, in some cases on sites that have been deforested (Poore and Nemecek, 2019). While the coffee industry in many countries has 
already transitioned from agroforestry to full-sun production (Jha et al., 2014), the cocoa industry is at a turning point, with many growers 
deciding whether to move to the potentially more productive ‘full-sun system’, despite a general view that the agroforestry system is 
more resilient to climate change impacts (Rajab et al., 2016; Schroth et al., 2016; Farrell et al., 2018; Niether et al., 2020).

Shade-grown cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems provide an array of ecosystem services, including regulating pests and diseases, 
maintaining soil fertility, maintaining biodiversity and carbon sequestration (

high confidence

) (Jha et al., 2014; Rajab et al., 2016; Cerda 

et al., 2017; Pham et al., 2019). For example, a comparison of Indonesian cocoa stands found that total carbon stocks above and below 
ground were five times higher in multi-shade agroforestry stands compared with monoculture stands (57 compared with 11 Mg C ha

−1

), 

and total NPP was twice as high (18 compared with 9 Mg C ha

−1

 yr

−1

). The extra carbon sequestration was achieved without any notable 

difference in cocoa yield (Rajab et al., 2016). At higher levels of shade, there can be negative impacts on the yield of the understory crop, 
but careful management of shade trees allows for both crops to thrive (Andreotti et al., 2018; Blaser et al., 2018; Niether et al., 2020).

Cocoa grown under shade in some situations may be more resilient to climate change (Schwendenmann et al., 2010; Schroth et al., 
2016). Schwendenmann et  al. (2010) implemented drought experimentally in the field and found shade trees increased drought 
resilience. Shade trees insulate the understory crop from the warming and drying sun (Schroth et al., 2016). On the other hand, full-sun 
cocoa systems may be more climate resilient in some cases (Abdulai et al., 2018), as interactions between understory trees and shade 
trees are complex; in addition to shade effects, evapotranspiration and root interactions must be considered (Niether et al., 2017; 
Wartenberg et al., 2020). Moving to a full-sun system may also involve additional inputs in irrigation, fertilizer and labour. Neither (2020) 
reviewed the literature comparing the two cocoa production systems and concluded that the agroforestry system was superior in terms 
of climate adaptation.

The choice of cropping system will have wide-reaching consequences for climate vulnerability and climate justice. Coffee and cocoa 
are often a main source of income for small-scale producers who are among the most vulnerable to climate hazards (Bacon et al., 
2014; Schroth et al., 2016). Most of their produce is exported by large corporations and sold to relatively better-off consumers. In the 
context of climate justice, underlying structural inequities (socioeconomic, ethnicity, gender, caste), marginality and poverty help to shape 
the vulnerabilities of small-scale farmers to climate hazards (Beckford and Rhiney, 2016; Schreyer et al., 2018). Climate change may 
compound their vulnerability, if for example the loss of pollination services leads to a reduction in productivity (Avelino et al., 2015). 
Adaptation needs to consider the inequities associated with the commodity chain, and the adaptative capacity of producers as they 
seek to move into the more advanced processing stages of the commodity chain to realise higher returns from their exports (Ovalle-
Rivera et al., 2015). Blue Mountain Coffee is a ‘specialty’ coffee associated with a protected area forest ecosystem that attracts a high 
price premium owing to its distinct flavour and aroma. The livelihoods of coffee farmers in this region are characterised by multiple 
socioeconomic, environmental and institutional stressors related to climate change, pests, plant diseases and production costs. Some 
coping strategies employed by these coffee farmers have increased their susceptibility to future climate impacts (Guido et al., 2019). Davis 
(2017) showed that these coffee farmers’ food security challenges could be alleviated by improved marketing of fruit tree products under 
shade coffee farming systems. Adaptation measures in such systems need to consider co-benefits and negative trade-offs, especially 
in vulnerable communities, to avoid widening further the inequities, rural livelihood loss, migration and marginalisation, and ensure 
progress towards the SDGs (

waste also contributes to climate change by utilising resources that 
emit GHGs (Galford et al., 2020).

5.11.1  Current and Future Climate Change Impacts on 

Food Safety

Emerging food safety risks from climate change include those posed 
by toxigenic fungi, plant- and marine-based bacterial pathogens, HABs 
and increased use of chemicals (plant protection products, veterinary 
drugs) potentially leaving residues in food (European Food Safety 
Authority Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues et al., 
2017; Deeb et al., 2018; Mbow et al., 2019; FAO et al., 2020).

Mycotoxins, produced by toxigenic fungi found on many crops, 
contaminate food and feed and cause a wide range of adverse 
impacts to human and animal health. Climate change can affect the 
growth and geographical expansion of these fungi (

high confidence

)

 

(Wild et al., 2015; Battilani, 2016; FAO and WHO, 2016; Watson et al., 
2016b; Alshannaq and Yu, 2017; Chen et al., 2018a; Avery et al., 2019; 
Milicevic et al., 2019; Van der Fels-Klerx et al., 2019; FAO, 2020a; FAO 
et al., 2020).

Aspergillus flavus 

is a fungus that infects a range of crops and 

can reduce grain quality. Several strains also produce aflatoxin, a 
particularly problematic mycotoxin

.

 Increasing CO

2

 and drought stress 

has little effect on growth of

 Aspergillus

 but significantly increases the 

production of aflatoxin (Medina et al., 2015b).

In Europe, one estimate is that the risk of aflatoxin contamination 
will increase in maize in a +2°C temperature scenario in Europe, with 
nearly 40% of Europe exceeding the current legal limits (Battilani and 
Toscano, 2016). In Malawi, maize aflatoxin levels above European 
Union (EU) legal thresholds are possible for most of the country by 
mid-21st century (Warnatzsch and Reay, 2020). The occurrence of 
toxin-producing fungi will increase and expand from tropical and 
subtropical areas into new regions and where appropriate capacity 
for surveillance and risk management is lacking (

medium confidence

)

 

(Miller, 2016). The increase in toxigenic fungi in crops, and consequent 
contamination of staple foods with mycotoxins, will increase the risks 
of human and animal exposure (

high confidence

) (Botana and Sainz, 

2015; Rose and Wu, 2015; Battilani, 2016; Avery et al., 2019; Bosch 
et al., 2019; Milicevic et al., 2019; Moretti et al., 2019; Van der Fels-
Klerx et al., 2019; FAO, 2020a).

In aquatic systems, toxins produced during HABs also cause food 
safety problems (

high confidence

) (Botana, 2016; Estevez et al., 2019; 

Section 5.8). Increased poleward expansion of 

Vibrio 

in coastal mid- 

to high-latitude areas has been observed (Baker-Austin et al., 2017). 

Vibrio

-related mortalities from finfish consumption are expected to 

rise with climate change (water temperature, salinity, oxygen and 
pH) (

medium confidence

) (Mohamad et al., 2019a; Mohamad et al., 

2019b). For shellfish species, oxygen deficits (Mohamad et al., 2019b), 
sea level rise (Deeb et al., 2018) and temperature (Green et al., 2019) 
will be most important for food safety.

Food safety is also anticipated to worsen from increased contaminant 
bioaccumulation under climate-induced warming (

high confidence

) 

(Sections 3.5.8, 3.5.9, 5.8, 5.9, Bindoff et al., 2019;), with changes in 
pathogen, parasite, fungi and virus abundance and virulence (Bondad-
Reantaso et al., 2018). Coastal communities who depend on fisheries 
for livelihoods and nutrition are especially vulnerable (Hilmi et  al., 
2014; Golden et al., 2016; Bindoff et al., 2019).

Occurrence of bacterial pathogens such as 

Salmonella

 and 

Campylobacter

 will increase with rising temperatures (

high 

confidence

). Foodborne pathogen risks will increase through multiple 

mechanisms, though in general the impacts of climate change on 
different pathogens are uncertain (Akil et al., 2014; Hellberg and Chu, 
2016; Lake and Barker, 2018). Even species within a genus can be 
affected differently. For example, higher CO

2

 levels depress the growth 

rate of 

F. graminearum

, an economically important pathogen on barley 

but have little effect on 

F. verticillioides

, which is the most reported 

fungal species infecting maize.

Increases in rainfall intensity will have some effect on the transport 
of heavy metals by enhancing runoff from soil and increasing the 
leaching of heavy metals into water systems, with magnitudes 
dependent on local conditions (

high confidence

) (Joris et  al., 2014; 

Wijngaard et al., 2017). Methyl mercury (MeHg) is highly neurotoxic 
and nephrotoxic and bioaccumulates and biomagnifies through the 
food web via dietary uptake (fish, seafood, mammals) (Fort et  al., 
2016). Ocean warming facilitates methylation of mercury, and the 
subsequent uptake of

 

methyl mercury in fish and mammals has been 

found to increase by 3–5% for each 1°C rise in water temperature 
(Booth and Zeller, 2005; FAO, 2020a). A changing climate will release 
mercury from snow and ice, raising the amount of mercury in aquatic 
ecosystems, although its importance relative to industrial sources is 
unknown (Morrissey et al., 2005).

Increased frequency of inland floods has been associated with 
contamination of food with toxic and fat-soluble persistent organic 
pollutants (POPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins (Lake 
et al., 2014; Tirado, 2015; Alava et al., 2017). Exposure to POPs can 
lead to serious health effects, including certain cancers, birth defects 
and impairments to the immune, reproductive and neurological 
systems.

Climate change–contaminant interactions may alter the bioaccumulation 
and biomagnification of POPs and PCBs as well as MeHg (Alava et al., 
2017). Of particular concern is the pollution risk influenced by climate 
change in Arctic ecosystems and the bioamplification of POPs and 
MeHg in seafoods resulting in long-term contamination of traditional 
foods in Indigenous communities (Tirado, 2015; Alava et al., 2017).

The high risk associated with emerging zoonoses (animal diseases 
that can infect humans) and alterations in the distribution, survival 
and transmission of vectors and associated pathogens and parasites 
could lead to an increased use of veterinary drugs and more rapid 
development of microbial resistance (European Food Safety Authority 
et al., 2020; FAO, 2020a) and higher veterinary drug residues in food 
of animal origin, potentially posing health issues for humans (Beyene 
et al., 2015; FAO et al., 2018; European Food Safety Authority et al.,

2020). These outcomes will depend, at least in part, on the extent of 
changes in current regulatory systems for veterinary drugs. Pre-harvest 
stress on animals can increase the contamination of meat products 
with zoonoses. Climate change may also increase rodent populations 
and rodent-born zoonoses (Naicker, 2011). Extreme weather events 
that cause flooding, such as hurricanes or extreme rain events, increase 
the chance of inundating areas that contain waste from animal farms 
where antibiotics are used for production, increasing the spread of 
antibiotic-resistant bacteria into the surrounding environment (FAO, 
2020a).

5.11.2  Current and Future Climate Change Impacts on 

Food Loss in Storage, Distribution and Processing

The potential for climate-change-based food losses exists in all 
parts of the food system—post-harvest storage, distribution and 
processing—with the potential for impacts in one part of the system 
to be passed on to other elements (Davis et  al., 2021). Storing a 
product destined for food use makes it available in times other than 
immediately after harvest, which is especially important for products 
with a pronounced seasonal availability or that are not available 
from other regions with different seasons. Storage of fresh products 
(meat, fish, fruits and vegetables) even with the best cold storage 
technology results in some quality loss relatively quickly. Higher 
temperatures increase the cost of maintaining quality. One estimate 
is that an increase in outdoor temperature from 17°C to 25°C 
increases cold storage power consumption by about 11% (James and 
James, 2010). Post-harvest storage of roots and cereals is subject 
to physical and quality losses from damage by mice, rats and birds 
and by microorganisms such as the toxigenic fungi discussed above, 
all of which are expected to increase in warmer and more humid 
conditions.

The higher temperatures and humidity will generally raise storage 
costs and lower the quantity and quality of stored product, reducing 
producer incomes and raising consumer prices (

high agreement

, 

medium evidence

)

 

(Mbow et al., 2019). For example, in the US state of 

Michigan, climate change will shorten the period of reliably cold local 
storage of potato by 11–17  days and 14–20  days further south by 
mid-century and by 15–29 days and 31–35 days, respectively, by late 
century. These changes would increase future demand for ventilation 
and/or refrigeration immediately after harvest and again in spring and 
early summer (Winkler et al., 2018).

Insects are a main source of food loss. Climate change can alter 
insect damage in at least two ways: increases in reproductive rate 
from temperature increases and changes in pheromone effectiveness 
(

high confidence

). Increasing temperature up to about 40°C raises the 

rates of insect food digestion and reproduction (Deutsch et al., 2018), 
but temperatures above that level are fatal for many insects (Neven, 
2000). Most insects rely on pheromones to facilitate reproduction. 
Higher temperatures, but also increases in atmospheric CO

2 

and O

3 

levels, can affect this process. Insect species that rely on long-range 
chemical signals (such as ladybirds, aphids, bark beetles and fruit 
flies) will be most impacted, because these signals suffer from longer 
exposure to processes that reduce pheromone effectiveness (Medina 

et  al., 2015b; Moses et  al., 2015; Boullis et  al., 2016; Verheecke-
Vaessen et al., 2019).

There are several potential pathways for climate change impacts on 
processing that would negatively affect quality and appearance, but 
with limited research to date. For example, some studies have indicated 
that recent increases in temperature have decreased the appearance 
and milling quality of rice in the USA and East Asia, owing to increased 
occurrence of chalky grains (Lyman et al., 2013; Morita et al., 2016; 
Masutomi et al., 2019; Ishigooka et al., 2021). Impacts on quality of 
perennial crops and annual fruits and vegetables are discussed above 
(Section 5.4.3 and Box 5.2).

5.11.3  Current and Projected Impacts on Transportation 

and Distribution: Domestic and International Trade

Regional differences in resource availability are a key underlying 
driver of domestic and international trade. Climate change can change 
resource availability, in terms of both quantity and quality, altering 
trade flows, prices and incomes of producers. Climate change can also 
affect food access, and its stability can be affected through climate-
change-driven disruption of infrastructure (FAO et  al., 2018; Mbow 
et al., 2019). Extreme events are expected to become more common 
as climate change progresses. Recent examples illustrate the potential 
for trade disruptions. In March 2019, Cyclone Idai affected 1.7 million 
people in Mozambique and 920,000 in neighbouring Malawi, according 
to United Nations (UN) officials. The World Food Program reported that 
satellite imagery of flooding in central Mozambique showed an ‘inland 
ocean’ the size of Luxembourg with potentially large impacts on 
distribution of existing supplies, and uncertain effects on future food 
production and availability. The extreme rainfall events in the US state 
of Iowa in spring 2019 destroyed large numbers of well-built grain 
silos. In addition, major road and bridge damage required rebuilding.

Trade plays a sizeable role in global food supplies. More than 1 billion 
people relied on international food trade in the early 21st century 
(Fader et al., 2013; Pradhan, 2014). Domestic and international trade 
flows can be dramatically affected by climate change impacts 

(medium 

evidence

,

 high confidence)

 (Nelson et al., 2014; Pradhan, 2014; Wiebe 

et al., 2015)

.

 Since the impacts of climate change will not be uniform, 

profitable locations for exports production will change. In addition, the 
effects of increasing local weather variability caused by climate change 
means increasing variability of food availability for domestic use and 
international trade. Finally, extreme events driven by climate change 
can disrupt transportation along the food value chain. Countries more 
at risk of natural hazards that disrupt transportation and distribution, 
and with less extensive routes, are more vulnerable to climate change 
impacts.

 

A global multi-hazard risk assessment (Koks et  al., 2019) 

suggests surface and river flooding, which are projected to increase 
in a warmer climate, are the main hazards for road and railway 
infrastructure, increasingly disrupting international and domestic 
transportation of agricultural commodities.

Climate change impacts will increase most global prices relative to 
early 21st century levels, with varying effects on the cost of food 
imports (

high confidence

) (Nelson et  al., 2014; Wiebe et  al., 2015;

Chapter 5

Fujimori et  al., 2018; Lee et  al., 2018). For example, analysis using 
results from one study (using CMIP5 data for RCP8.5 and SSP2) found 
that net food importing countries in the early 21st century would 
see expenditures on food imports decrease by USD 36 billion in mid-
century in real terms with climate change over a no climate change 
scenario. (Table 5.13).

Global economic models with a focus on agriculture provide a 
perspective on the range of potential changes in market outcomes 
because of climate change. In one study comparing several SSPs to 
a future with no climate change to one with impacts from RCP8.5, 
2050 yields with climate changes impacts are 17% smaller on average 
than those without climate change. Adaptation by farmers reduce 
that to an 11% decline. The change in 2050 prices of all crops and 
regions after climate change impacts and farm-level adaptation is a 
mean 20% increase (Nelson et al., 2014). Substantial differences arise 
from both the heterogeneous impacts of climate change over crops 
and geography and the diversity of modelling approaches in the GCM 
and crop models. A later study with more socioeconomic scenarios and 
fewer models got roughly similar results (Wiebe et al., 2015), as did a 
modelling study focused on food security in South Asian countries (Cai 
et al., 2016).

Most climate scenario modelling to date does not incorporate increasing 
variability nor the use of storage, a critical tool to manage variability. 
Two recent studies are exceptions. In one, climate change generally 
reduces mean yields and increases their variability in the Midwestern 
USA and causes modest increases in price volatility (Thompson et al., 
2018). A second study (Chen and Villoria, 2019) focuses on maize net 
importers across Africa, Asia and Latin America during 2000–2015. 
A 1% increase in the ratio of imports to total consumption reduces 
domestic price variability by 0.29%. A 1% increase in stocks at the 
beginning of the season is correlated with a 0.22% reduction in the 
coefficient of variation.

5.11.4  Adaptation in the Post-harvest Supply Chain

The SRCCL (Mbow et  al., 2019) findings on adaptation support 
targeting food value chains and intervention types to the needs of 
specific locations. Furthermore, adaptation choices will need to be 
dynamic as climate change impacts are expected to worsen over time.

As discussed above and in Section 6.2.5, climate change is expected 
to cause increasingly severe effects on infrastructure needed for food 
security: roads and harbours for transport, water storage facilities 
for irrigation and storage facilities able to withstand climate-related 

damage. Three categories of adaptation could be considered: adoption 
of technologies already in use elsewhere, including Indigenous and 
local knowledge, or available or near ready that become profitable as 
impacts become more severe; development of new technologies; and 
taking advantage of changing comparative advantage across regions. 
Specific examples of post-harvest technical adaptation options that 
are already available but could be more widely adopted include solar 
driers, cold storage facilities and transport and use of ultrasonic 
humidification of selected fruits and vegetables, a technology that has 
been shown in Europe to reduce losses in each post-harvest stage by 
20% or more (Fabbri et al., 2018). Hermetic storage containers using 
community-based farmer research networks to scale out (Singano et al., 
2020; Wenndt et al., 2021) also show promise. Another innovation is to 
introduce 

Aspergillus 

fungi that do not produce aflatoxins in biocontrol 

formulations, as is being undertaken in the Aflasafe project in Kenya 
(Bandyopadhyay et al., 2016).

International trade changes are a potentially important adaptation 
mechanism for both the short-term effects of climate variability and 
long-term changes in comparative advantage with globally substantial 
benefits but that are distributed unevenly (Mosnier et al., 2014; Baldos 
and Hertel, 2015; Fuss et  al., 2015; Costinot et  al., 2016; Hertel and 
Baldos, 2016; Gouel and Laborde, 2021). One estimate is that, with a 
reduction in tariffs as well as institutional and infrastructural barriers, 
the negative impacts of climate change globally would be reduced 
by 64%, with hunger-affected import-dependent regions seeing the 
greatest benefit. However, in hunger-affected export-oriented regions, 
partial trade integration might lead to increased exports at the expense 
of domestic food availability (Janssens et  al., 2020). It is possible for 
policy changes that result in increased trade flows to also increase the 
potential for maladaptation, for example by encouraging conversion of 
environmentally sensitive areas to agriculture (Fuchs et al., 2020; 5.13.3).

As discussed in Section  5.4, climate change is expected to increase 
variability in yields. As long as the variability is not correlated across 
regions, trade flows within a year can partially compensate, with 
in-period exports from countries less affected to those that are. 
Alterations in trade flow patterns to accommodate these impacts will 
reduce the negative effects so long as this variability is not correlated 
across regions (UK, 2015; Janetos et al., 2017).

In terms of food safety impacts, Lake and Barker (2018) highlight a range 
of approaches to enhance preparedness for more serious foodborne 
disease effects from climate change: adoption of novel surveillance 
methods to speed up detection and improve intervention in foodborne 
outbreaks; genotype-based approaches to surveillance of food pathogens 
to enhance spatiotemporal resolution in tracing and tracking of illness; 
improving integration of plant, animal and human surveillance systems 
under the rubric of One Health, increased commitment to cross-border 
and global information initiatives; and improved clarity regarding the 
governance of complex societal issues such as the conflict between food 
safety and food waste and strong user-centric (social) communications 
strategies to engage diverse stakeholder groups.

The range of potential adaptation approaches from production to 
transportation to reduce food loss and waste is captured in Figure 5.17 
(Galford et al., 2020).

The importance of reducing food loss and waste due to climate change 
is widely recognised, but literature on cost-effective reductions is 
sparse, particularly in low-income countries (Parfitt et  al., 2010). A 
list of farm and post-harvest methods to reduce food loss (Sheahan 
and Barrett, 2017) includes potential farm interventions such as 
varietal choice, education in harvest and post-harvest handling, 
hermetic storage technologies (see above), chemical sprays and 
integrated pest management techniques in storage. The evidence on 
their effectiveness, especially in the face of increased climate change 
impacts, is limited.

Food Security, Consumption and Nutrition

5.12.1 Introduction

Food security and nutrition are key desired outcomes of food systems. 
Climate change is already contributing to reduced food security and 
nutrition and will continue to do so (

high confidence

)

 

(Sections 5.4, 5.5, 

5.8, 5.9, 5.10). Climate change impacts affect all four dimensions of 
food security: availability, access, utilisation and stability (Table 5.14), 
through both direct and indirect pathways.

Global food security improved dramatically in the 20th century even 
as global population increased from 2 to 6 billion. While some may 
assume that global food security is primarily provided by large-scale 
producers, research since AR5 has shown the sizeable role of small and 
mid-sized food producers in Asia, Africa and Latin America contributing 
to global food security and nutrition, while being highly vulnerable to 
climate change impacts on food security (Samberg et al., 2016; Herrero 
et al., 2017; FAO et al., 2018; Ricciardi et al., 2018). In 2019, more than 
750 million people in the world, almost 1 in 10 people, suffered from 
severe food insecurity, a figure which has risen since 2014 in every 
region except North America and Europe

(FAO et al., 2020). Overnutrition, a result of high-calorie unbalanced 
diets, is also rising, with over 2 billion adults overweight or obese (FAO 
et al., 2018; Swinburn et al., 2019; FAO et al., 2020; Venkatesh Mannar 
et al., 2020; WHO, 2021). Many low- and middle-income countries now 
have both high under- and overnutrition rates (FAO et al., 2018).

There are multiple drivers of food security, including changing dietary 
patterns, urbanisation and population growth (HLPE, 2017b; FAO et al., 
2018; Swinburn et al., 2019). Vulnerability to climate change impacts 
on food insecurity and malnutrition is worsened by other underlying 
causes, including poverty, multiple forms of inequity (e.g., gender, 
racial, income), low access to water and sanitation, macroeconomic 
shocks and conflict (Smith and Haddad, 2015; Clay et al., 2018; FAO 
et  al., 2018; Cook et  al., 2019). Climate change frequently acts to 
compound these drivers of food insecurity (Table 5.14).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased 
vulnerability to food insecurity and malnutrition of particular groups 
and sectors in the food system, including low-income households, 
farmworkers, food service workers, informal food market sellers and 
low-income countries dependent on food imports (Cross-Chapter 
Box COVID in Chapter 7). Climate change will compound pandemic 
vulnerabilities in the food system (

high agreement

, 

low evidence

)

 

(HLPE, 2020; UNDRR (United Nations Office for Disaster Risk 
Reduction, Regional Office for Asia and Pacific), 2020; WFP-FSIN, 
2020). The pandemic may also increase coordination among sectors 
and a willingness to address food system weaknesses made visible 
by the impacts of COVID-19 (Blay-Palmer et al., 2020; Cohen, 2020; 
Ramos et al., 2020).

Ecosystem services, the provisioning, supporting and regulating 
mechanisms we all depend on for food security and nutrition, are 
also undermined by climate change impacts (Section 5.4.3). Even in 
the absence of climate change, our current food system threatens to

though many solutions to enhancing food security are also potential

5.12.2  Mechanisms for Climate Change Impacts on Food 

Security

Climate change is increasing the number of people experiencing 
food insecurity through greater incidence and severity of climatic 
impact drivers (CIDs), (Seneviratne et al., 2021) such as extreme heat, 
drought and floods. Increasing CO

2

 concentrations have positive 

effects on food and forage crops by enhancing photosynthesis and 
alleviating drought stresses (5.4.3.1, 5.5.3.1) but have negative 
effects on nutrient concentrations in food crops. Ocean acidification 
is also caused by increasing CO

2

, causing negative impacts on aquatic 

systems. Tropospheric ozone concentrations already hinder crop 
production (Section  5.4.1.4). Several CIDs increase the number of 
people experiencing food insecurity (

high confidence

) (SROCC 2019, 

FAO et al., 2018; Mbow et al., 2019; Baker and Anttila-Hughes, 2020;

Vulnerability to climate impacts on food security and nutrition varies 
by region and group. Countries that experience CIDs such as extreme 
heat, severe drought or floods and have a large proportion of the 
population dependent on rainfed agriculture or livestock for their 
livelihoods and food supply have experienced rising food insecurity 
due to climate change impacts (FAO et al., 2018; Cooper et al., 2019; 
Mbow et  al., 2019). Children in Sub-Saharan Africa are particularly 
at risk of undernutrition and mortality from increasing temperatures 
(Belesova et al., 2019; Baker and Anttila-Hughes, 2020). An additional 
estimated 5.9 million children became underweight because of rising 
temperatures in 51 countries affected by ENSO intensity in 2015–2016 

(Anttila-Hughes et  al., 2021). Low-income urban households and 
marginalised groups such as landless and ethnic minorities are at risk 
of increased food insecurity due in part to climate change extreme 
events such as extended drought, floods or cyclones that interrupt 
supply chains and impact livelihoods (Rodriguez-Llanes et al., 2016; 
FAO et al., 2018; Algur et al., 2021). A systematic review in India found 
that women often experience greater workloads and stress during 
drought events (Algur et al., 2021).

In the subsequent sections, the four dimensions of food security 
will be discussed in relation to observed and projected impacts and 
vulnerabilities (Table 5.14).

5.12.3  Observed Impacts

5.12.3.1  Impacts on food availability

All food production systems (crops, livestock, marine, fish, mixed, 
aquaculture) have been undermined by climate change and are 
expected to experience larger impacts in the future as described in 
earlier sections (see Sections  5.4.1, 5.5, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10). In addition, 
sudden production losses from extreme climate events can reduce food 
security (FAO et al., 2018; Cottrell et al., 2019; FAO et al., 2020; Anttila-
Hughes et al., 2021). For example, a 2007 drought-induced crop failure 
in southern Africa led to severe food insecurity in Lesotho because 
of the land-locked country’s dependence on imports from South 
Africa that aggravated food availability and access under conditions 
of declining food production and land degradation (Verschuur et al., 
2021). Pest and disease outbreaks in both crops and livestock due 
to climate change (Sections  5.4.1, 5.5.1) have also impacted food 
availability and access (see Box  5.8 Desert Locust case study). Loss 
in labour productivity from climate-change-related heat stress is a 
growing problem.

Climate change affects agricultural labour productivity through 
increased intensity and frequency of heat stress events, with 
those performing physical labour in high humidity and ambient 
temperatures most vulnerable to heat stress (

high confidence

) (Hsiang 

et al.; FAO et al., 2018; Kjellström et al., 2019; Antonelli et al., 2020; 
Shayegh et  al., 2020). Labour capacity, supply and productivity loss 
in moderate outdoor work due to heat stress is estimated between 
2% and 14%, depending on the location and indicator (Ioannou et al., 
2017; Kjellstrom et al., 2018), with an overall estimate of 5.3% loss 
in productivity for outdoor work between 2000 and 2015 (

medium 

confidence

) (Watts et  al., 2018) but as high as 14% in low-income 

tropical countries (Antonelli et al., 2020; Shayegh et al., 2020). Highly 
vulnerable occupation groups affected by heat stress include farmers, 
farmworkers and livestock keepers working outdoors in low-income 
tropical countries (

high confidence

) (Zander et  al., 2015; Kjellstrom 

et  al., 2016; Flouris et  al., 2018; Kjellstrom et  al., 2018; Levi et  al., 
2018). Farmworkers and small-scale food producers in high- and 
middle-income countries involved in outdoor labour are also affected 
by heat stress (Zander et al., 2015; Gosling et al., 2018; Szewczyk et al., 
2018; Watts et  al., 2021). There is also evidence that heat stress is 
affecting labour supply through variation in nutrition intake (Antonelli 
et al., 2020).

5.12.3.2  Impacts on food access (physical, economic and socio-

cultural) and vulnerabilities

Increased extreme events (e.g., droughts, floods and tropical storms; 
Seneviratne et  al., 2021) due to climate change are key drivers of 
recent rises in food insecurity rates and severe food crises in some 
regions (

high confidence

) (Section  5.4.1, Yeni and Alpas, 2017; FAO 

et  al., 2018; Cooper et  al., 2019; Baker and Anttila-Hughes, 2020; 
Bogdanova et al., 2021; Ilboudo Nébié et al., 2021). Extreme weather 
events reduce physical and economic access to food, increase food 
prices, and compound underlying conditions of food insecurity and 
malnutrition such as low access to diverse healthy foods and safe 
water (FAO et  al., 2018; Niles et  al., 2021). Increased incidence of 
severe drought conditions since 2005 is contributing to food insecurity 
in affected regions, including Africa, Asia and the Pacific (Chapter 7, 
Phalkey et al., 2015; FAO et al., 2018; Cooper et al., 2019; Ilboudo Nébié 
et  al., 2021; Verschuur et  al., 2021;). In Arctic western Siberia, high 
temperatures, melting ice and forest and tundra fires have degraded 
reindeer pastures; Indigenous Peoples have reduced traditional diets 
and increased purchased food with increases in hypertension and 
related health impacts (Bogdanova et al., 2021).

There is growing evidence that anthropogenic climate warming has 
already  intensified climate extreme events induced by large-scale 
SST oscillations such as ENSO (Herring et al., 2018; Seneviratne et al., 
2021). For example, the 2015–2016 El Niño, the strongest in the past 
145 years, induced severe droughts in Southeast Asia and eastern and 
southern  Africa, some intensified by anthropogenic warming (Funk 
et al., 2018). As a result, 20.5 million people faced acute food insecurity 
in 2016 (FSIN, 2017) and an estimated additional 5.9 million children 
became underweight (Anttila-Hughes et al., 2021).

Weather extreme events increased food prices and food price volatility 
(Peri, 2017), thereby worsening food insecurity (Shiferaw et al., 2014; 
Bene et al., 2015; Miyan, 2015; FAO et al., 2018; Ilboudo Nébié et al., 
2021). Rising food prices can affect conflict, political instability and 
migration (Bush and Martiniello, 2017), but the relationship between 

Box 5.9: Desert Locust Case Study: Climate as Compounding Effect on Food Security

At the end of 2019, desert locust swarms infested Eastern Africa and caused widespread damage to crops and pastures, threatening food 
security and livelihoods (Kimathi et al., 2020; Salih et al., 2020). The FAO estimates that over 200,000 ha of crop and pastureland were 
damaged, rendering 2 million people in the region acutely food insecure (IGAD, 2020). The desert locust infestation was facilitated by two 
tropical cyclones that created desert lakes in a usually dry region of Saudi Arabia. Moist soils, warm temperatures and ample vegetation 
provided a suitable environment for desert locust breeding and migration to Yemen and Somalia, where the pest remained uncontrolled 
due to conflict and spread to neighbouring countries. A series of political and socioeconomic weaknesses such as armed conflict, limited 
financial resources and lack of early actions compounded the impact of the current invasion and made it the most damaging in 70 years 
(Meynard et al., 2020; Salih et al., 2020).

Although desert locusts have been here for centuries, this recent outbreak can be linked to a unique feature of the positive IOD event, 
in part caused by long-term trends in SSTs (Wang et al., 2020a). The warming of the western Indian Ocean has increased frequency and 
intensity of severe weather, including tropical cyclones (Roxy et al., 2014; Murakami H, 2017; Roxy et al., 2017). Under a 1.5°C warmer 
climate, extreme positive IODs are anticipated to occur twice as often, which could also increase the occurrence of pest outbreaks (Cai 
et al., 2018).

Climate change increases the need for robust adaptation measures, such as transnational early-warning systems, biological control 
mechanisms, crop diversification and further technological innovations in areas of sound and light stimulants, remote sensing, and 
modelling for tracking and forecasting of movement (Maeno and Ould Babah Ebbe, 2018; Peng et al., 2020). The desert locust outbreak 
and the role of the Indian Ocean warming show that the impacts of climate change can increase unpredictable events. Extreme weather 
events act as a compounding effect, exacerbated further by weak governance systems, political instability, limited financial resources and 
poor early-warning systems (Meynard et al., 2020).

climate change, political instability and conflict is often mediated by 
other underlying factors such as poor governance (Chapter 7.2.7, 
Mach et al., 2019; Selby, 2019).

Low-income urban and rural households who are net food buyers 
are particularly affected by food price increases, with reduction in 
consumption of diverse food groups (

high confidence

) (Green et al., 

2013; Villasante et  al., 2015; FAO et  al., 2018). Depending on the 
context, particular groups, including women, ethnic and religious 
minorities, will be more vulnerable to worsening food insecurity from 
climate change impacts (Clay et  al., 2018; Jantarasami et  al., 2018; 
Nature climate change Editorials, 2019; Algur et  al., 2021 and see 
Cross-Chapter Box  GENDER in Chapter 18). Indigenous Peoples are 
often more vulnerable to climate change, due to conditions of poverty, 
limited resources, discrimination and marginalisation (

high confidence

) 

(Smith and Rhiney, 2016; Vinyeta et al., 2016; Jantarasami et al., 2018). 
Indigenous Peoples may experience loss of culturally significant foods 
and declining traditional ecological knowledge (Dounias and Ichikawa, 
2017; Ross and Mason, 2020; 5.7).

5.12.3.3  Impacts on food utilisation and vulnerabilities

Food utilisation refers to the way the body most effectively uses food, 
and includes food preparation, food quality and intra-household 
distribution. Food utilisation is affected by climate change in several 
ways: food safety, dietary diversity and food quality (Aberman and 
Tirado, 2014).

Climate change have increased food safety risks (

high confidence

), 

including foodborne zoonotic animal diseases (5.5), and marine toxins 
from HABs (Sections  5.8, 5.9) and mycotoxins (Section  5.11). Other 
foodborne and waterborne infectious diseases such as cholera are 
further covered in Chapter 7.

Weather variability and extreme events (Seneviratne et al., 2021) have 
reduced availability and access to diverse foods to sell and to purchase 
in rural markets, thereby reducing access to affordable, diverse foods 
for both rural small-scale producers and net consumers, particularly 
for landlocked and low-income countries (

high confidence

) (Pant 

et al., 2014; Villasante et al., 2015; Alston and Akhter, 2016; FAO et al., 
2018; Park et al., 2019; Niles et al., 2021) and otherwise marginalised 
communities (Algur et al., 2021). One study of 87 countries and 150 
extreme events estimated that low-income food deficit and landlocked 
countries had reduced nutrient supply ranging from −1.6 to −7.6% 
of average supply, a significant portion of a healthy child’s average 
dietary intake (Park et al., 2019).

Rural children in low-income countries are at particular risk of 
undernutrition from climate change impacts, due to a combination 
of factors: potential reduction in food quantity and quality from 
heat impacts; greater exposure from outdoor play and agricultural 
activities; and increased likelihood of heat exhaustion and vector-
borne and diarrheal diseases (Oppenheimer and Anttila-Hughes, 2016). 
A study of child growth data in 30 countries in Africa between 1993 
and 2012 found that increased temperature was significantly related 
to children’s wasting (Baker and Anttila-Hughes, 2020). Another 
study examined 30 years of climate data and child dietary diversity 

outcomes in 19 countries, and found that higher-than-average annual 
temperatures correlated with declines in child diet diversity at levels 
equal to or greater than other factors which often are the focus of 
policy, such as market access or education (Niles et al., 2021).

5.12.3.4  Impacts on food stability

Climate change has already changed the start and duration of the 
growing season and increased variability of rainfall in some places, 
with impacts on food intake and nutritional status and income for 
low-income and small-scale producers (

medium evidence

,

 high 

agreement

, (FAO et al., 2018; Cooper et al., 2019). Evidence to date 

suggests that climate change has negative impacts on the stability 
of food supply over the medium to long term, thereby affecting food 
stability (Myers et  al., 2017b). Increasing number and intensity of 
adverse weather events, driven by climate change (Seneviratne et al., 
2021), are important factors decreasing food stability, through reduced 
availability, increased local price volatility, reduced livelihoods for food 
producers and disruption to food transport (Toufique and Belton, 2014; 
Verma et al., 2014; Ruiz Meza, 2015; Clay et al., 2018; FAO et al., 2018; 
Mbow et al., 2019).

5.12.4  Projected Impacts on Food Security

5.12.4.1  Food availability and access

Climate change will have negative effects on food security and nutrition 
in 2050 (

high agreement

, 

medium evidence

) (Amjath-Babu et al., 2016; 

Springmann et al., 2016; Lloyd et al., 2018; Richardson et al., 2018; see 
Chapter 7; Hasegawa et al., 2021a). How many people are affected 
will depend considerably on non-climatic drivers of food security (van 
Dijk et al., 2021), but modelling studies agreed that climate change 
would increase the risk of food insecurity. For example, one study 
comparing an RCP8.5 scenario with one that has zero climate impacts 
estimates 65 million additional people (10% increase) will experience 
food insecurity due to climate change impacts in 2050 (modelling 
results in Nelson et al., 2018). Another study accounting for climate 
extreme events estimates that, by 2050, the number of people at risk 
of hunger will increase by 20% and 11% under high- and low-emission 
scenarios, respectively, owing to a once-per-100-year extreme climate 
event (Hasegawa et  al., 2021a). Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia 
in this study were projected to be at the greatest risk, with triple the 
amount of South Asia’s current food reserves needed to offset such 
an extreme event. Models suggest that food security and malnutrition 
impacts will be much more severe from 2050 onwards relative to pre-
2050, but the scale and extent of the impacts will strongly depend on 
the GHG emission scenario (FAO, 2018a; Richardson et al., 2018). Due 
to CIDs and non-climate drivers of food insecurity, Sub Saharan Africa 
is projected to be the hardest hit, followed by South Asia and Central 
and South America, but contingent on adaptation level (Richardson 
et al., 2018; Hasegawa et al., 2021a).

Without adaptive measures, heat stress impacts on agricultural labour 
will increase with climate change (

high confidence

) (Im et al., 2017; 

Levy and Roelofs, 2019; Hertel and de Lima, 2020). Climate-change-
related heat stress will reduce outdoor physical work capacity on a

global scale. Depending on GHG concentrations, some regions will 
experience losses of 200–250 outdoor workdays per year at century’s 
end. Using results from one study reporting experimental procedures to 
assess loss of work capacity (Foster et al., 2021), regions hardest hit in 
an SSP5-8.5 scenario include much of South Asia, tropical Sub-Saharan 
Africa and parts of Central and South America (Figure 5.18). de Lima 
et al. (2021) projected that negative impacts of warming on crop yields 
and labour capacity would affect crop production and cost for workers 
and labour-saving mechanisation, raising food price by 5% at +3° from 
the baseline period (1986–2005) globally, with significant implications 
for vulnerable regions (sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia). Large 
uncertainties, however, exist around population diversity and adaptive 
capacity (Vanos et al., 2019). Agricultural labour productivity impacts

to solar radiation (which would worsen heat effects). In addition, work capacity declines as hours in the field extend beyond one hour. Research is underway to take these additional 

factors into account.

of heat attributed to climate change are expected to be worse in low- 
and middle-income countries (Kjellstrom et  al., 2016). Adaptation 
options needed to protect agricultural worker productivity outdoors 
and reduce occupational heat illnesses and deaths include cooled 
working environments, improved surveillance systems and education 
on the need to monitor (

high confidence

) (Xiang et al., 2016; Quiller 

et al., 2017; Flouris et al., 2018; Day et al., 2019; Vanos et al., 2019). 
Currently available options, however, are more difficult to achieve in 
lower-income economies (Kjellstrom et al., 2016; Im et al., 2017).

Under higher-emission scenarios, food availability will be further 
reduced after 2050, due to the potential for widespread crop failure 
and decline in livestock and fisheries stocks (Mbow et al., 2014; Kelley

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

et al., 2017; Challinor et al., 2018; Hendrix, 2018; Bindoff et al., 2019). 
At +3°C from the preindustrial era, all food production sectors will 
experience greater, and pronounced, losses due to climate change 
compared with +1.5°C or +2°C (see Sections  5.2, 5.4.3, 5.8.3 and 
5.9.3).

Food insecurity from food price spikes due to reduced agricultural 
production associated with climate impact drivers such as drought 
can lead to both domestic and international conflict, including political 
instability (Abbott et al., 2017; Bush and Martiniello, 2017; WEF, 2017; 
D’Odorico et  al., 2018; de Amorim et  al., 2018;Chapter 7.2.7). While 
climate change impacts, including drought impacts on food security, 
are important risk factors for conflict, other key drivers are often more 
influential, including low socioeconomic development, limited state 
capacity, weak governance, intergroup inequities and recent histories of 
conflict (

medium confidence

) (Mach et al., 2019; Selby, 2019; Chapter 

7.2.7). The interaction between extreme weather events, conflict and 
human migration may increase vulnerability of particular communities 
of low-income countries (WEF, 2017; D’Odorico et al., 2018; de Amorim 
et al., 2018; Chapter 7). Further research is needed to better understand 
how increased drought risk under future climate change might affect 
food prices and water availability (Abbott et al., 2017).

5.12.4.2  Projected Impacts on Food Safety and Quality

Increasing levels of CO

 directly contribute to reduced food quality 

by reducing levels of protein, iron, zinc and some vitamins, varying 
by crop species and cultivars (

high confidence

) (Section 5.4.3, Myers 

et al., 2014; Smith and Haddad, 2015; Bisbis et al., 2018; Scheelbeek 
et al., 2018; Weyant et al., 2018; Zhu et al., 2018a). Higher levels of CO

2

 

are predicted to lead to 5–10% reductions in a wide range of minerals 
and nutrients (Loladze, 2014). Climate warming will also reduce food 
quality of seafood, by changing the LC-PUFA content in phytoplankton 
(Section 5.8; Hixson and Arts, 2016).

5.12.4.3  Reaching Sustainable Development Goal 2

Current projections indicate that it is 

highly likely

 that the UN SDG2 

(‘Zero Hunger’) by 2030 will not be achieved, with climate impacts on 
one of several drivers of food security and nutrition preventing this goal, 
including in Africa, Small Island States and South Asia (

high confidence) 

(FAO et al., 2018; Otekunrin et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2019; Atukunda 
et al., 2021; Kumar et al., 2021; Vogliano et al., 2021). Integrated policy 
strategies that consider synergies and trade-offs between different 
food system components would strengthen the likelihood of meeting 
SDG2 goals (Dyngeland et al., 2020; Lipper et al., 2020; Vogliano et al., 
2021) (Grosso et al., 2020). Adaptation options which address climate 
risks for food security and nutrition are discussed below.

5.12.5  Adaptation Options for Food Security and 

Nutrition

Since AR5, there has been increased research on adaptation options 
that address climate risks for food security and nutrition. In this section, 
cultivar improvements, urban and peri-urban agriculture, changing 
dietary patterns, integrated multi-sectoral approaches and rights-based 
approaches are assessed for their potential as an adaptation option 
that addresses food security and nutrition. Feasibility and effectiveness 
assessment of several options is in Section 5.14.

5.12.5.1  Potential, barriers and challenges for genetically 

modified crops to address food security and nutrition

While biotechnology can be used as an adaptation strategy 
(Section  5.4.4.3), there is low confidence that genetically modified 
(GM) crops can increase food security and nutrition in smallholder 
farming systems relative to alternative agronomic strategies (National 
Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine, 2016; Qaim, 2016). 
Some underline their potential in building resilience to changing 
climatic conditions, in the form of enhanced drought/heat tolerance, 
pest/disease protection and/or reduced land usage, thus serving to 
bolster food security and nutrition (Sainger et al., 2015; Muzhinji and 

Box 5.10: Food Safety Interactions with 

Food Security and Malnutrition

Climate change significantly increases the future food 
safety risks (

high confidence

) (Sections  5.8.2, 5.8.3, 5.11.1, 

Box  5.9). Increasing temperatures and drought stress are 
expected to lead to greater aflatoxin contamination of food 
crops.  Aflatoxins, a major foodborne hazard, contaminate 
staple crops and are associated with various health risks, 
including stunting in children and cancer (Koshiol et al., 2017). 
In LICs, children with high exposure to aflatoxins were found to 
be more likely to suffer from micronutrient (zinc and vitamin A) 
deficiencies (Watson et al., 2016b). Climate change is expected 
to cause decreases in micro- and macronutrient content of 
foods, leading to an increased burden of infectious diseases, 
diarrhea and anaemia, with an estimated 10% increase in 
disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by 2050 associated with 
undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies  (Aberman and 
Tirado, 2014; Smith and Myers, 2018; Weyant et al., 2018; Zhu 
et al., 2018a; Ebi and Loladze, 2019; FAO, 2020a; Sulser et al., 
2021b).

Children in low-income countries will be at greater risk of 
undernutrition from these multiple climate change impacts, 
including lower food availability, quality and safety and 
increased risk of diarrheal disease (

high confidence

) (Aberman 

and Tirado, 2014). One study of 30 countries in Africa estimated 
that, by 2100, increased temperatures under RCP8.5 could 
increase children’s wasting by 37% in western Africa and 25% 
in southern Africa (Baker and Anttila-Hughes, 2020).

The combination of climate change and the presence of arsenic 
in paddy rice fields is expected to increase the toxic heavy metal 
content of rice and reduce production by 2100, threatening 
food security and food safety mainly in low-income countries 
where rice is the main staple (Neumann et al., 2017; Muehe 
et al., 2019; Farhat et al., 2021).

Ntuli, 2021). Others suggest that the empirical evidence supporting 
GM crops as a climate-resilience strategy remains thin (Leonelli, 2018). 
Technical and social barriers and potential solutions are summarised 
in Table 5.15.

5.12.5.2  Urban and peri-urban agriculture, vertical and 

horizontal

Urban areas have more than half of the global population and consume 
about 70% of the total food supply (FAO, 2019b). The urban population 
is projected to grow further to about 70% of the global population 
by 2050 (UN, 2018). Direct evidence supporting climate resilience of 
urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) is limited and contextual, but 
there is 

medium confidence

 of multi-functional benefits from UPA, 

depending on regions and types of UPA (Artmann and Sartison, 2018; 
Kareem et  al., 2020). UPA takes different forms of production, and 
can be broadly classified into four categories, depending on operating 
characteristics and capital inputs (Table 5.16) (Goldstein et al., 2016). 
Controlled environments can protect crops, livestock and fish from 
extreme weather events or pest and disease outbreak (Mohareb 
et al., 2017). Innovative indoor farming such as vertical farming can 
be highly productive with minimal water and nutrient supply but can 
be capital intensive with high energy demand (O’Sullivan et al., 2019), 
and those with aquaponics can be water demanding (Love et  al., 
2015). Currently, commodities are often limited to crops with short 
growing seasons such as leafy vegetables. Vertically grown crops are 
more expensive than field-grown produce and, thus, not accessible 
for low-income urban dwellers (Al-Kodmany, 2018). Community and 
institutional unconditioned (outdoor) farms and gardens are better 
positioned to provide increased access to healthy food to those who 
need it (Eigenbrod and Gruda, 2015; Goodman and Minner, 2019).

Many UPA farmers are migrant workers or other socially marginalised 
racial and ethnic groups and often limited by access to land (Lawanson 

et al., 2014; Horst et al., 2017). There is 

high agreement

 that proactive 

policies for urban design accounting for food–energy nexus and social 
inclusion including addressing questions of governance and rights to 
green urban spaces are necessary to enhance food provisioning and to 
gain multiple functions of UPA (Lwasa et al., 2014; Horst et al., 2017; 
Mohareb et al., 2017; Siegner et al., 2018; O’Sullivan et al., 2019; Titz 
and Chiotha, 2019; Halvey et al., 2020).

5.12.6  Changing Dietary Patterns

Dietary change in regions with excess consumption of calories and 
animal-sourced foods to a higher share of plant-based foods with 
greater dietary diversity and reduced consumption of animal-sourced 
foods and unhealthy foods (as defined by scientific panels such as 
EAT-Lancet) has both mitigation and adaptation benefits along with 
reduced mortality from diet related non-communicable diseases, 
health, biodiversity and other environmental co-benefits (

high 

confidence

) (Springmann et al., 2016; Springmann et al., 2018; Branca 

et  al., 2019; Henry et  al., 2019; Searchinger et  al., 2019; Swinburn 
et  al., 2019; Willett et  al., 2019; Rosenzweig et  al., 2020; Chapter 
7.4.2.1.3 and WGIII Chapter 12). Reducing food waste, especially of 
environment- and climate-costly foods would further extend these 
benefits (Rosenzweig et al., 2020 and see Section 5.11).

Dietary behaviour is complex: shaped by the broader food system 
(HLPE, 2017a), the food environment (Herforth and Ahmed, 2015; 
Turner et  al., 2018) and socio-cultural factors (Fischler, 1988). Since 
most food-related decisions are made at a subconscious level 
(Marteau et al., 2012), achieving dietary change for personal health 
reasons has proven difficult; it seems unlikely that dietary change for 
climate will be achieved without careful attention to the factors that 
shape dietary choice and behaviour. Food environments, defined as 
‘the physical, economic, political and socio-cultural context in which

  Barriers, challenges and potential solutions for GM crops.

Barriers and challenges

Examples and potential solutions to barriers

Major challenges as a food security and nutrition adaptation include the introgression of GM 
traits into host varieties (Dowd-Uribe, 2014), and confusion around proper growing practices 
that can accelerate resistance (Iversen et al., 2014; Fischer et al., 2015). The combination 
of the kinds of traits and restrictions that come from the predominant intellectual property 
rights instruments used in their commercialisation, and concentration of plant and animal 
breeding industry (Bonny, 2017) mean that benefits from released GM crops tend to be 
captured disproportionately by farmers with more land, wealth and education (Afidchao 
et al., 2014; Ali and Rahut, 2018; Azadi et al., 2018) but also increase debt levels for growers 
(Dowd-Uribe, 2014; Leguizamón, 2014).
Underlying gender inequities also play a critical role in shaping food security and nutrition 
outcomes associated with the introduction of GM crops, in part due to unequal control 
over income and agricultural decision making; in some cases, women reported decreased 
workload and enhanced decision-making power (Gouse et al., 2016), while in others the 
introduction of GM crops could increase workload and devalue womens’ role as seed savers 
(Carro-Ripalda and Astier, 2014; Addison and Schnurr, 2016).
Major hurdles for GM crops include translating promising research results into real-world 
farming systems and consumer trust in the food product. Experimental programmes have 
been dogged by issues, including complications with the introgression of GM traits into 
high-performing varieties (Dowd-Uribe and Schnurr, 2016; Stone and Glover, 2017), strict 
management regimes that clash with the realities of smallholder agricultural systems 
(Iversen et al., 2014; Whitfield et al., 2015), and a lack of attention to farmer decision making 
(Schnurr, 2019).

One case study is the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) programme, a public–private 
partnership that transplants a cold shock protein B, known as Droughtgard, into maize in 
order to mitigate yield losses from drought. Proponents suggest that this GM venture, which 
will be distributed free to smallholder farmers, represents the best strategy for ensuring 
stable yields in the face of climatic change across Africa (Kyetere et al., 2019). Critics argue 
that WEMA maize is not a good fit with the smallholder farming systems it is designed to 
benefit, with particular concerns around how farmers will access the extra inputs, credit and 
labour that WEMA maize requires to be successful (Schnurr, 2019).
Emergent genome-edited crops are considered a more precise, accessible and accelerated 
means of targeting stressors that matter to poor farmers, but evidence is limited (Kole 
et al., 2015; Haque et al., 2018; Zaidi et al., 2019). A more iterative and flexible adaptation 
approach beyond just genomic improvement to tackle the multiplicity of factors limiting 
smallholder production is anticipated to increase the likelihood that these promising 
technologies can enhance food security and nutrition (

medium confidence

) (Giller et al., 

2017; Stone, 2017; Montenegro de Wit, 2019).
To address food security and nutrition, future breeding needs to move from just enhancing 
agronomic traits of a single crop to improving multiple traits of multiple crops suited to 
local conditions that will increase climate resilience of farming systems. To make breeding 
technologies scale-neutral, the policy structure needs to support and protect smallholders 
(

medium confidence

).

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

consumers engage with the food system to make their decisions about 
acquiring, preparing and consuming food’ (HLPE, 2017a): 28), include 
food availability, accessibility, price/ affordability, food characteristics, 
desirability, convenience and marketing.

There are a range of options to change dietary patterns, but more 
research is needed in this area, adjusted to the regional, socioeconomic 
and cultural context. Studies of policy instruments to change diets 
include changes in subsidies, taxes, marketing regulation and efforts 
to change the retail physical environment. Subsidies directed at staple 
foods and animal sourced foods could be shifted towards diversified 

production of plant-based foods in order to change the relative price of 
foods and, thus, dietary choice (Franck et al., 2013; Harris et al., 2021). 
Taxes on animal-sourced foods that are climate-costly and unhealthy, as 
defined by scientific panels such as the EAT-Lancet report, could similarly 
impact relative price (Mbow et al., 2019; Willett et al., 2019). Regulation 
of marketing could change desirability of climate-unfriendly and 
unhealthy foods (Willett et al., 2019). Many of the same strategies used 
to increase sales by conventional food marketing efforts hold potential 
to change the desirability and people’s preferences for plant foods which 
are strongly shaped by social–cultural norms. Studies have shown that 
changes to the number, placing or prevalence of vegetarian options on a

Summary of urban and peri-urban agriculture and evidence for improved food security and nutrition

Urban agriculture has two components: vertical (e.g., grown on or in buildings) and horizontal (grown on land within urban boundaries, in backyards and marginal spaces). The 
horizontal component of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) has gained attention because of multiple functions that could improve food systems and ecosystem services 
under climate change (Revi et al., 2014; Artmann and Sartison, 2018; FAO, 2019b; Mbow et al., 2019; Chapter 6).
UPA cannot fully feed urban dwellers within its boundaries but can make an important contribution to local food security and nutrition (medium confidence) (Martellozzo et al., 
2014; Badami and Ramankutty, 2015; Algert et al., 2016; Mohareb et al., 2017; Clinton et al., 2018; Kriewald et al., 2019). UPA is also expected to play important roles in eco-
system functions in addition to alleviating food shocks caused by natural disasters and reducing food mileage.

 and Description

Synergies

Trade-offs

Ground-based Unconditioned

 

– Multi-species cropping can increase access to diverse healthy 

foods and reduce food costs for low-income households (Algert 
et al., 2016; Horst et al., 2017).

 

– Green cover helps to attenuate heat island effects, and reduce 

runoff and flood risks (Lwasa et al., 2015; Di Leo et al., 2016; 
Gondhalekar and Ramsauer, 2017; Artmann and Sartison, 2018; 
Small et al., 2019).

 

– Green garden spaces can reduce vulnerability to heat stress and 

food insecurity for low-income neighbourhoods and address 
racial inequities in access to green spaces if UA governance 
addresses equity concerns (Horst et al., 2017; Titz and Chiotha, 
2019; Halvey et al., 2020; Hoffman et al., 2020).

 

– Multi-species cropping helps to conserve biodiversity (Lovell, 

2010; Goldstein et al., 2016).

 

– Skill building and job opportunities (Lovell, 2010; Mok et al., 2014; 

Horst et al., 2017), sometimes in regions and for groups that have 
been socially and economically disadvantaged (Horst et al., 2017).

 

– CES benefits through cultivation of specific crops, cultural 

learning, sharing culinary and garden knowledge and 
strengthening social networks for socially marginalised ethnic, 
racial groups (Horst et al., 2017; Nadeau et al., 2019).

 

– UPA provides social and health co-benefits such as increased 

social interaction and physical and mental health benefits (Horst 
et al., 2017; White and Bunn, 2017).

 

– Can divert organic waste produced in cities as compost, to reduce 

water contamination and input costs (Menyuka et al., 2020).

 

– Can increase the value of land and thereby push out 

lower-income households via gentrification (Horst et al., 2017).

 

– Unconditioned UPA is under strong pressure from other lucrative 

land use demands and can be difficult to maintain without 
addressing urban social inequities, (Martellozzo et al., 2014; 
Horst et al., 2017; White and Bunn, 2017).

 

– Yields are lower than conventional, rural production, and water 

demand is high (Goldstein et al., 2016; Bisaga et al., 2019).

 

– Air, soil and water quality in urban areas can disturb crop 

production and reduce food safety (Eigenbrod and Gruda, 
2015; Titz and Chiotha, 2019), and create health risks from 
contamination (Mok et al., 2014), causing mixed or even 
negative public perceptions against the produce (Specht et al., 
2019; Menyuka et al., 2020). Trace metal contamination in soils 
and plants is an increased risk in outdoor UPA (Eigenbrod and 
Gruda, 2015; Titz and Chiotha, 2019).

 

– May provide limited job and income opportunities in low-income 

urban areas (Daftary-Steel et al., 2015; Biewener, 2016).

 

– Outdoor fields are exposed to rising temperatures and urban 

heat islands (Chapman et al., 2017). Low water availability may 
be another limit for UPA as a form of adaptation (Kareem et al., 
2020; Tankari, 2020). In coastal cities, sea level rise and flooding 
from climate change impacts may make significant portions of 
cities unuseable for UPA (Algert et al., 2016; Kareem et al., 2020).

Ground-based Conditioned

 

– Controlled environments can protect crops, livestock and fish 

from extreme weather events or pest and disease outbreak 
(Mohareb et al., 2017).

 

– Some building-integrated conditioned farms can utilise 

wastewater and waste heat from buildings or other urban source 
(De Zeeuw et al., 2011; Thomaier et al., 2015; Mohareb et al., 
2017).

 

– Innovative indoor farming such as vertical farming (VF) is highly 

productive with minimal water and nutrient supply, but highly 
energy-demanding (O’Sullivan et al., 2019).

 

– Some initiatives combine with social justice goals and use 

abandoned buildings in low-income neighbourhoods to grow 
diverse food types for addressing food security of low-income 
groups (Thomaier et al., 2015; Horst et al., 2017).

 

– Power outages and/or system failure can easily destroy the 

production system (Small et al., 2019).

 

– Initial costs and energy requirements are substantially higher 

than those of unconditioned farms (Goodman and Minner, 2019; 
O’Sullivan et al., 2019).

 

– GHG emissions may be higher than conventional rural 

agriculture (Santo et al., 2016) and full mitigation potential only 
realised with low-energy systems (WGIII, 12.4).

 

– Commodities are often limited to short-cycled crops such as leafy 

vegetables and herbs, and the produce is more expensive, making 
it difficult for the urban poor to access (O’Sullivan et al., 2019).

menu (Bacon and Krpan, 2018; Kurz, 2018; Garnett et al., 2019; Gravert 
and Kurz, 2019), the relative price of vegetarian options (Garnett et al., 
2021) and the ‘access’ (order and distance) to vegetarian options in 
the retail physical environment (Garnett et al., 2020) can all increase 
consumption of plant-based foods and decrease meat consumption 
(Bianchi et al., 2018). Studies on food environment ‘nudging’ methods 
found that making the vegetarian meal option the default during 
conference registration or on a meal plan significantly reduced meat 
consumption (Campbell-Arvai et al., 2012; Hansen et al., 2019b). Studies 
simply educating people about the negative health and environmental/
climate outcomes of meat consumption have been found to have very 
little impact (Byerly et al., 2018). More research is needed to understand 
the potential for motivational crowding in shaping pro-climate dietary 
choice, as has been demonstrated in development (Agrawal et al., 2015) 
and conservation interventions (Rode et al., 2015).

5.12.7  Integrated Multisectoral Food Security and 

Nutrition Adaptation Options

Integrated multi-sectoral strategies that incorporate social protection 
are effective adaptation responses (

high confidence

) (Gros et  al., 

2019; Ulrichs et  al., 2019; Medina Hidalgo et  al., 2020; Daron et  al., 
2021; Ilboudo Nébié et al., 2021; Verschuur et al., 2021; 7.4.2, Cross-
Chapter Box-GENDER in Chapter 18). Social protection programmes, 
such as cash transfers, weather index insurance and asset-building 
activities such as well construction, can support short-term responses to 
acute food insecurity in response to extreme events but can also build 
adaptive capacity longer term (Table 5.16, Costella et al., 2017; Ulrichs 
et al., 2019). An assessment of an adaptive social protection programme 
in the Sahel found that tailored seasonal forecasting can improve 
responsiveness to climate-related extreme events, but investment in 
capacity building and dialogue between forecasters, community groups 
and humanitarian organisations is needed (Daron et al., 2021). Forecast-
based financing, which automatically disperses funds when threshold 
forecasts are reached for an extreme event (Coughlan de Perez et al., 
2016), used in Bangladesh prior to a 2017 flood event allowed low-
income, flood-prone communities to access better-quality food in the 
short term without accruing debt (Gros et al., 2019).

Differentiated responses based on food security level and climate risk 
can be effective. A study of drought impacts on food security in Senegal 
between 1997 and 2016 recommended different adaptation strategies 
based on whether the region was a higher risk of acute short-term food 
insecurity and/or faced higher risk of drought (Table 5.16; Ilboudo Nébié 
et  al., 2021). Given identified linkages between higher temperatures 
and extreme events with declines in child dietary diversity, safeguarding 
diverse diets is one important adaptation priority (Niles et al., 2021). 
Humanitarian responses are appropriate for short-term acute hunger, 
while in the medium term, home-grown school feeding programmes 
with diverse foods can support child nutrition and learning, and with 
local procurement can also increase income and food security of 
smallholder farmers (Ilboudo Nébié et al., 2021). Farmer associations 
can manage regional staple food storehouses, in which farmers store 
their harvest and receive credit, and can sell their harvest later in 
the season and pay back the credit with interest, strengthening local 
supplies and farmer income (Ilboudo Nébié et al., 2021).

A study in Lesotho examined the extent to which climate change 
increased the likelihood of an acute drought in 2007, and a related 
food crisis (Verschuur et al., 2021). Given land degradation, reliance on 
rainfed agriculture and food imports from neighbouring South Africa, 
the study recommended crop diversification, increased use of drought 
tolerant crop varieties and expanded trade partners in the medium to 
long term, to both strengthen regional food production and reduce 
risk of crop failure and the likelihood of climate-induced drought 
from trade partners reducing food imports (Verschuur et al., 2021). A 
longitudinal study of smallholder coffee farmers in Nicaragua found 
that crop diversification, alongside crop management and varietal 
improvement, would help farmers strengthen food security long 
term in the face of climate hazards such as drought and coffee leaf 
rust (Bacon et al., 2021). Another medium- to long-term adaptation 
response is to address systemic gender, land tenure and other social 
inequities as part of an inclusive approach (Bezner Kerr et al., 2019; 
Khatri-Chhetri et al., 2020; Bacon et al., 2021). This long-term strategy 
could be part of a human-rights-based approach (HRBA, 5.12.8)

5.12.8  Incorporating Human Rights-Based Approaches 

into Food Systems

A human rights-based approach (HRBA), endorsed by the UN, is one 
strategy for addressing core inequities that are key drivers for food 
insecurity and malnutrition of particular groups such as low-income 
consumers, children, women, small-scale producers and different 
regions of the world (FAO, 2013; Claeys and Delgado Pugley, 2017; 
Caron et  al., 2018; Le Mouël et  al., 2018; Springmann et  al., 2018; 
Tramel, 2018; HLPE, 2019; Willett et al., 2019). Climate change impacts, 
mitigation and adaptation approaches can also worsen inequities 
(Eastin, 2018; Borras et  al., 2020). HRBA includes core principles of 
participation, accountability, non-discrimination, transparency, human 
rights, empowerment and rule of law, which can be integrated into 
policymaking and implementation as part of transforming the food 
system (FAO, 2013; Caron et al., 2018; Toussaint and Martínez Blanco, 
2020). The right to well-being can serve as the overarching umbrella 
of HRBA to addressing climate change within food systems and 
includes a right to health, right to food, cultural rights, the rights of 
the child and the right to healthy environment (Swinburn et al., 2019). 
An HRBA has a specific focus on those groups who are vulnerable 
due to poverty, discrimination and historical inequities and involves 
meaningful participation of vulnerable groups in governance, design 
and implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies, including 
gender responsiveness and integration of Indigenous Peoples’ 
knowledge (UNHRC 2017; Caron et al., 2018; Mills, 2018). There can 
be conflicts and trade-offs, such as between addressing land rights or 
traditional fishing grounds, the right to food, and addressing climate 
justice concerns (Mills, 2018; Borras et al., 2020; Section 5.13). Adaptation 
strategies that incorporate HRBA include legislation, programmes that 
address gender inequities in agriculture, agroecology, recognition of 
rights to land, fishing areas and other natural resources, protection

and challenges associated with the use of the Nexus framework.

5.13.1  Impacts of Global Land Deals on Land Use, 

Vulnerable Groups and Adaptation to Climate 
Change

Land deals, also known as large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs), 
describe recent changes in access to land globally (Borras et  al., 
2011). Since 2000, at least 160  million hectares have been under 
negotiation (Land Matrix, 2021). Land deals surged after the 2007–
2008 food price crisis and farmland investment boom (Fairbairn, 
2014), with a diverse range of drivers (Arezki et al., 2015; Zoomers 
and Otsuki, 2017; Conigliani et al., 2018) including land-based climate 
change interventions (Dunlap and Fairhead, 2014; Davis et al., 2015a; 
Hunsberger et al., 2017; Franco and Borras, 2019). Examples are the 
expansion of biofuel crops (e.g., Yengoh and Armah, 2016; Aha and 
Ayitey, 2017), afforestation and reforestation (A/R) projects (Olwig 
et  al., 2016; Richards and Lyons, 2016; Scheidel and Work, 2018), 
REDD+ (Bayrak and Marafa, 2016; Ingalls et al., 2018), conservation

(e.g. Uson, 2017).

Land deals raise important social justice questions (Franco et  al., 
2017; Hunsberger et  al., 2017; Borras and Franco, 2018b; Borras 
et  al., 2020; Sekine, 2021) (

high confidence

). Specific impacts of 

land deals vary according to their purpose, location, actors, land use 
history and procedural aspects. However, multi-case analyses identify 
severe adverse impacts (Table 5.18). LSLAs are a significant driver of 
tropical forest loss (Davis et al., 2020), increasing emissions through 
deforestation (Liao et  al., 2021) and industrialisation of agriculture 
(Rosa et  al., 2021). LSLAs entail large water appropriations (Breu 
et  al., 2016; Chiarelli et  al., 2016; Adams et  al., 2019), affecting 
local populations’ access to water and food security (Dell’Angelo 
et  al., 2018; Veldwisch et  al., 2018). By increasing exported crops, 
and limiting local populations’ access to land, LSLAs produce food 
security risks (Marselis et  al., 2017; Müller et  al., 2021b). Negative 
livelihoods impacts arise through enclosure of assets, elite capture 
(Oberlack et  al., 2016), crowding out of small farmers (Nolte and 
Ostermeier, 2017) and reducing local populations’ access to commons 
(Dell’Angelo et al., 2016; Giger et al., 2019). Indigenous People are 
affected, facing high levels of violence in land acquisition conflicts 
(Dell’Angelo et al., 2021). The social burdens of land deals tend to be 
gendered (e.g., Fonjong et al., 2016; Nyantakyi-Frimpong and Bezner 
Kerr, 2017; Atuoye et al., 2021).

Local populations can experience declining access to livelihood 
resources and deteriorating food security, increasing gendered 
vulnerabilities (Yengoh et  al., 2015; Faye and Ribot, 2017; Atuoye 
et  al., 2021). Vulnerable groups displaced by land deals may face 
higher exposure to climate change (Dell’Angelo et  al., 2017). 
LSLAs affecting common-pool resources governed by Indigenous 
institutions jeopardise the resilience and adaptive capacity of local 
socio-ecological systems (Dell’Angelo et al., 2016; D’Odorico et al., 
2017; Hak et  al., 2018; Haller, 2019; Haller et  al., 2020). Growing 

land tenure insecurity may force farmers to engage in unsustainable 
farming and forestry practices (Aha and Ayitey, 2017; Gabay and 
Alam, 2017) and hinder agroecological innovations to manage 
climate risks (Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 2020b). Social justice concerns 
and vulnerability of local populations can be addressed by promoting 
land redistribution and recognition, particularly for customary lands 
of Indigenous and ethnic minorities, and land restitution to those 
who were forcibly displaced (Franco et al., 2015; Borras and Franco, 
2018a).

5.13.2  Trade-offs Generated by Agricultural 

Intensification and Expansion

Agricultural intensification seeks to increase agricultural productivity 
per input unit, reducing the pressure on land use and generating 
positive impacts in GHG emissions (Mbow et al., 2019), but valuing 
the final effect requires common metrics in terms of carbon capture or 
emission reductions (Searchinger et al., 2018). It has been suggested 
to address multiple SDGs (SDG2, SDG13, SDG15) but only occasionally 
leads to simultaneous positive ecosystem service and well-being 
outcomes (Rasmussen et al., 2018). When the process relies only on 
increasing input use, there is a risk of generating adverse outcomes 
that may override positive effects, such as CO

2

 emissions, (McGill et al., 

2018), NOx emissions (Hickman et  al., 2017), soil salinisation and 
groundwater depletion (Doody et al., 2015; Daliakopoulos et al., 2016; 
Fragaszy and Closas, 2016; Foster et  al., 2018; Flörke et  al., 2019). 
Agricultural intensification could meet short-term food security and 
livelihood goals, but reduces biological and landscape diversity, and 

ecosystem services (

high confidence

) (Campbell et al., 2017; Balmford 

et  al., 2018; Springmann et  al., 2018; Ickowitz et  al., 2019; Mbow 
et  al., 2019). Agricultural intensification can also affect livelihoods 
of small-scale producers, compromising food security. It can increase 
low-waged casual farm work, increasing gender and income inequity 
(Bigler et al., 2017; Clay and King, 2019; Table 5.18).

Land available for provisioning ecosystem services is declining in 
many places because of agricultural expansion, bioenergy crops 
and reforestation for mitigation (Kongsager, 2018), with adverse 
climate impacts (Froese and Schilling, 2019). Cropland expansion can 
deteriorate biodiversity (Delzeit et  al., 2017), water quality (Ayala 
et al., 2016) and carbon storage (Goldstein et al., 2012) and increase 
water demands (Yokohata et al., 2020).

A systems-based perspective on land use is needed to address 
climate change impacts on nutrition security and ecosystem services 
(Springmann et  al., 2018; IPCC, 2019b; Willett et  al., 2019). Land

sparing sets aside some land for conservation purposes and intensifies 
production on farmland (Balmford et  al., 2018; Benton et  al., 2018; 
IPCC, 2019b), with potential to offset GHG emissions (Lamb et  al., 
2016). Alternatively, ‘land sharing’ approach employs principles such 
as minimising fossil-fuel-based inputs, maximising synergies, and 
addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as 
biodiversity (Kremen and Miles, 2012; Kremen, 2015; Kremen and 
Merenlender, 2018; HLPE, 2019; Section  5.14, Box on Agroecology). 
Community-managed initiatives can address biodiversity and 
ecosystem conservation, livelihoods, food provisioning and other 
ecosystem services (Kremen and Merenlender, 2018; HLPE, 2019).

The concept of sustainable intensification has emerged, looking for 
enhancements in environmental outcomes, while maintaining or 
increasing agricultural systems performance. There is a potential to find 
synergies between agricultural production and landscape systems if 
systems are designed to operate within planetary boundaries (Rockström 
et al., 2017; Liao and Brown, 2018; Pretty, 2018; Pretty et al., 2018).

5.13.3  Competition between Food Systems in Land and 

Ocean

Livestock and aquaculture feeds utilise crops such as soyabean 
and maize, with food conversion efficiencies similar in chicken and 
Atlantic salmon, and higher in pigs and cattle (Troell et  al., 2014; 
Fry et al., 2018b; Fry et al., 2018a). Use of wild fish meal and oil has 
been decreasing, partly due to concerns regarding vulnerable small 
pelagic fish stocks (Bindoff et  al., 2019). The instability of wild fish 
stocks has increased terrestrial crop feed components (Troell et  al., 
2014; Blanchard et al., 2017; FAO, 2017; Cottrell et al., 2018). The use 
of wild fish in fish feeds that may have been directly consumed may 
put low-income households at risk of food insecurity (Troell et  al., 
2014). An increasing demand for aquaculture products intensifies 
competition for feed supplies (

medium confidence

) (Troell et al., 2014; 

Blanchard et al., 2017). Increases in demands for animal protein and 
shifts to pescatarian diets will increase the existing competition for 
land resources, particularly in low- and medium-income countries, 
with negative impacts on food security (Makkar, 2018), but may be 
mitigated by dietary changes, novel feeds and food waste usage for 
aquatic systems (Berners-Lee et  al., 2018; Hua et  al., 2019; Cottrell 
et al., 2020).

Competition over use of major aquaculture feed crops (Fry et al., 2016) 
with terrestrial livestock (Troell et al., 2014), and fish use by terrestrial 
livestock, will also place pressure on fish and crop resources (

medium 

confidence

) (Cottrell et al., 2018). Increases in feed prices will affect 

fish and meat prices (Troell et al., 2014), and changes in agriculture 
will be needed to satisfy aquaculture demands (Blanchard et al., 2017). 
Aquaculture and livestock dietary components may also compromise 
crops and forage fish that provide essential nutrients for low-income 
households increasing nutritional insecurity, in regions of sub-Saharan 
Africa, Asia and Latin America (Troell et al., 2014). Waste fish products 
can supplement fish meal and oil to reduce competition for feed, as 
well as reducing use of fish that could go to human consumption 
(

medium confidence

) (Little et al., 2016; Shepherd et al., 2017; Dave 

and Routray, 2018; Naylor et al., 2021). Use of algae, bacteria, yeast 
and insect diets could replace fishmeal for aquaculture (Cohen et al., 
2018; Hua et al., 2019; Cottrell et al., 2020), not affecting nutritional 
profiles (Campanaro et al., 2019), and fish could be reared on waste 
by-products of other food production systems (Bava et  al., 2019). 
Complete fish oil substitutions with microalgae may be possible 
without compromising omega-3 contents, but energy usage in diet 
production should be considered Cottrell et al. (2020). Substitutions 
of plant-based and alternative feeds may decrease food conversion 
efficiencies (Cottrell et al., 2020), affect omega-3 content of farmed 
seafood (Fry et al., 2016; Shepherd et al., 2017), be problematic for 
the fish themselves (Little et al., 2016; Naylor et al., 2021) and lead to 
reduced productivity (Shepherd et al., 2017).

Competition will be heightened by other climate impacts, such as 
changes in water availability. Water usage is relatively high in animal 
production (Abraham et al., 2014; Sultana et al., 2014; de Miguel et al., 
2015; Palhares and Pezzopane, 2015; Weindl et  al., 2017). In some 
areas, increased demand for plant-based animal feeds will be affected 
by sea level rise and competing usage of available freshwater with 
other users, and ecosystem needs (Karttunen et al., 2017).

5.13.3.1  Agricultural and river runoff

Flooding on agricultural land will enhance nutrient runoff, creating 
eutrophication and increasing harmful phytoplankton blooms, 
affecting fisheries and aquaculture, human health and ecosystem 
biodiversity. Changes in precipitation, monsoons, runoff and flood 
potential combine with deforestation and poor sewage treatment,

5.13.4  Maladaptation Responses and Sustainable 

Solutions

Maladaptation can result in three types of outcomes (Juhola et al., 2016): 
(1) 

rebounding vulnerability

: short term adaptations that decrease 

adaptive capacity and hinder future choices; (2) 

shifting vulnerability

: 

larger-scale adaptation actions that produce spill-over effects in other 
locations; (3) 

eroding sustainable development

: adaptation strategies 

which increase emissions and deteriorate environmental conditions 
and/or social and economic values (Tables 5.20 and 5.21).

Existing climate policies do not adequately consider trade-offs, 
adaptive limits, cumulative costs and potential risks of maladaptation 
(

,

) (Dovie, 2017; Holsman et  al., 

2019; IPCC, 2019b; Work et  al., 2019; Thomas, 2020: Table  5.19). 
Government policies are seldom coordinated across scales and often 
focused on regional short-term risks (

medium evidence

,

 medium 

agreement

) (Dovie, 2017; Holsman et al., 2019; Rahman and Hickey, 

2019; Butler et al., 2020). Past development trajectories and dominant 
political economic structures may narrow adaptation pathways, be 
restrictive and increase the vulnerability of particular groups (Paprocki, 
2018; Quan et al., 2019; Rahman and Hickey, 2019; Work et al., 2019).

Case Studies of Maladaptation

Large-Scale Irrigation Project in Navarre, Spain

Many small-scale producers could not afford the irrigation investment 
and had to sell or rent their land to those who joined the irrigation 
project. Many large-scale farmers using irrigation switched to corn 
and forage and dropped crops with high labour costs. Water costs are 
now paid to a private company, and small-scale farmers lost access 
to communal water rights. The project increased inequity and land 
concentration and lowered crop diversity, with small-scale producers 
more vulnerable to climate change. Large-scale intensive farmers are 
more exposed to crop price volatility than to climate vulnerability but 
have greater access to subsidies and water rights (Albizua et al., 2019).

Constraining Adaptation: Previous Agricultural 
Development Pathways in India

Government policies in colonial and postcolonial India invested in 
infrastructure, export production and synthetic input use (Gupta, 
1998; Davis, 2001), setting the stage for current development 
trajectories and closing out other adaptive options. Although 

such policies increased national food production, they failed to 
address high levels of malnutrition, worsening regional inequities, 
degraded natural resources and an agrarian debt crisis (Singh, 2000; 
Gupta et  al., 2016; Gajjar et  al., 2019). Agricultural livelihoods are 
increasingly considered unviable, with lower adaptive capacity of 
farmers, high debt levels (Gupta et al., 2016), and Indigenous and local 
knowledge loss and denigration (Kumar, 2016) alongside lower crop 
diversification (Srivastava et al., 2016). Government institutions aimed 
at infrastructure often lack adaptive capacity needed to address rural 
livelihoods (Singh et al., 2017; Gajjar et al., 2019).

Adaptation options that consider adverse effects for different 
groups reduce the risk increasing vulnerability, negatively affecting 
socioeconomic factors to deal with climate impacts, or impeding efforts 
to implement SDGs (

groups from different adaptation options could be put in place to 
diminish maladaptation risks (Rodríguez et al., 2019).

Inclusive planning initiatives such as community-based anticipatory 
adaptation combined with ‘two-way learning’ that considers future 
scenarios and different adaptation pathways can prevent maladaptation 
(

Nunn et al., 2020; Piggott-McKellar et al., 2020; Westoby et al., 2020; 
Table  5.20). Promising policy management tools combine temporal 
scales and mitigation–adaptation interactions and consider political 
dynamics, socioeconomic impacts and trade-offs for vulnerable groups, 
long-term support for policy leaders, efforts to establish livelihood 
‘niches’ and ongoing participatory evaluation (Dovie, 2017; Holsman 
et al., 2019; Rahman and Hickey, 2019; Work et al., 2019; Butler et al., 
2020). A focus on the most disadvantaged groups can help small-
scale producers at higher risk to prevent maladaptation (FAO, 2018c). 
Governance mechanisms have emerged that consider food security, 
socio-cultural factors, and land and water rights, using participatory, 
inclusive ‘two-way learning’ methods that involve vulnerable people 
alongside government (IPCC, 2018; Holsman et al., 2019; IPCC, 2019b; 
Rahman and Hickey, 2019; Butler et al., 2020).

5.13.5  Climate Change and Climate Response Impacts on 

Indigenous People

Indigenous people and ethnic minorities, many of them having special 
cultural associations to local foods, are particularly vulnerable to 
climate change owing to changes in the availability of wild foods, crop 
failure and food production losses or increased food prices (Norton-
Smith et al., 2016; Otto et al., 2017).

Changes in sea level rise or coastal erosion can reduce ecosystem services 
to a point where either subsidies are used to enable human populations 
to remain in their place of attachment, or ultimately to displace coastal

residents, thereby removing connections to places of intrinsic value. For 
example, the United Houma Nation in Louisiana is experiencing coastal 
land loss, sea level rise and strong Gulf hurricanes, which leads to the 
relocation of some tribes causing loss of Houma identity (Sullivan and 
Rosenberg, 2018). Another example is the relocation of Alaska Native 
communities due to climate change (Hamilton et al., 2016)

Expansion of agriculture can bring distress to Indigenous communities 
because of environmental deterioration and the stress associated with 
relocation or displacement (Otto et al., 2017). A/R programmes can also 
bring inequities to Indigenous communities (Godden and Tehan, 2016) 
and even violent displacement with tragic results (Celentano et  al., 
2017). A/R programmes can negatively affect a range of substantial 
and procedural Indigenous Peoples’ rights entrenched in international 
human rights law (Table 5.22) and their potential for climate change 
adaptation (

high confidence

).

A significant proportion of land targeted for A/R projects is inhabited 
and used by Indigenous Peoples and local communities (Cagalanan, 
2016). Indigenous Peoples have rights to and/or manage at least 
37.9  million km

2

 of land and influence land management across 

at least 28.1% of the land area (Garnett et  al., 2018). At least a 
quarter of the global land area is traditionally owned, managed, 
used or occupied by Indigenous Peoples, overlapping with 35–40% 
of the area that is formally protected (Garnett et al., 2018; Brondizio 
et  al., 2019). In many cases, A/R is implemented in areas where 
tenure rights are insecure and Indigenous Peoples’ rights are at 
risk of being disregarded (Naughton-Treves and Wendland, 2014; 
Kohler and Brondizio, 2017; Garnett et al., 2018) (

medium evidence

,

 

high agreement

). Many projects are also found in areas where 

complex socio-political contexts challenge management (Jurjonas 
and Seekamp, 2019). It is anticipated that A/R projects will create 
huge pressures on existing land uses and generate further land use 
conflicts (Aggarwal, 2014; Robinson et  al., 2014; Paul et  al., 2016; 
Brancalion and Chazdon, 2017; Pye et al., 2017; Bond et al., 2019). 
In addition, many afforestation projects are conducted in regions 
that are not bio-climatically suitable, leading to the degradation of 
ecosystems that are key to local livelihoods (Veldman et al., 2015; 
Robinson et al., 2016b).

Until 2010, most A/F projects had technical, carbon-related goals 
and did not consider issues of livelihoods, community involvement 
or broader ecosystem impacts (Wolde et  al., 2016). New strategies 
such as nature-based solutions (Seddon et al., 2020) and forest and 
landscape restoration (Brancalion and Chazdon, 2017) integrate a 
larger set of social and environmental objectives. Indigenous Peoples 
enjoy a range of co-benefits of A/F initiatives such as improved habitat, 
fire management or protection from climatic shocks such as drought 
(Robinson et al., 2016b; Seddon et al., 2020), provided they are able to 
manage carbon funds collectively, meet the monitoring and reporting 
requirements, and protect forests from illicit uses and natural disasters 
(Wolde et al., 2016).

Policies and safeguards attached to specific A/R initiatives determine 
their impact (

high confidence

) (Talor, 2015; West, 2016; Brancalion and 

Chazdon, 2017). In countries where there is a great level of devolution 
of rights to Indigenous Peoples, there is a risk that the A/R agenda 
will lead to recentralisation (

limited evidence

,

 medium agreement

) 

(Bayrak and Marafa, 2016). Some A/R initiatives specify the need to 
respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and 
protect biodiversity (

medium evidence

,

 high agreement

) (Seddon 

et al., 2020).

Local communities’ ability to participate in project design, implementation 
and monitoring is directly linked to the autonomy and independence 
of local institutions (Pye et al., 2017), their ability to formulate by-laws 
(Wolde et al., 2016) and handle funds in a transparent way (

medium 

evidence

, 

high agreement

) (Witasari, 2016). It is further dependent on 

cohesion in the community (Cagalanan, 2016), the existence of clear 
rules delineating community membership and the presence of elders and 
community members with relevant local knowledge (Robinson et  al., 
2016b), and gender and out-migration dynamics affecting participation 
structures (

Type of maladaptation

Strategies

Environmental

i)  Prevent negative effects on ecosystem services 

in situ

 (e.g., habitat degradation, pollution) that increase exposure to climate hazards.

ii)  Avoid increasing pressure on other socio-ecological systems.
iii)  Ensure ecosystems’ protective role as natural buffer zones is sustained against current and future climate-related hazards, such as storms, floods and sea 

level rise.

iv)  Provide some duplication and ensure flexibility of adaptation strategies to reduce risk because of uncertainties about climate change impacts and 

ecosystem response (e.g., agrobiodiversity to reduce pest outbreaks).

Socio-cultural

i)  Consider local social characteristics and cultural values that could affect risks and environmental dynamics.
ii)  Support local skills and knowledge related to climate-related hazards.
iii)  Support capacity-building for new skills needed by local communities.

Political-economic

i)  Consider the political dynamics and power imbalances and create inclusive processes to involve the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in 

decisions.

ii)  Work to reduce socioeconomic inequities, poverty and food insecurity.
iii)  Support livelihood diversification.
iv)  Focus on the impacts of adaptation on the poorest, structurally disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, and take power imbalances into account.
v)  Work across the full supply chain to consider linkages and possible ripple effects.

5.13.6  Increased Presence of Financial Actors in the 

Agrifood System

Financial actors, markets, institutions and incentives have gained 
importance in agricultural commodities and farmland markets in the 
past two decades (Clapp and Isakson, 2018; Fairbairn, 2020). New 
types of investment vehicles such as commodity index funds that 

track prices of commodities and farmland have emerged, and the use 
of older vehicles such as forward and futures markets has increased 
(Schmidt and Pearson, 2016; Clapp and Isakson, 2018). These trends are 
connected to climate change as financial investments are influenced 
by the likelihood that climate change will increase commodity and 
farmland price variability (

or in-kind modalities tends to not compensate lost income 
opportunities. Some projects bring employment opportunities, 
but these are short term and limited and rarely viable if the 
opportunity cost of land and labour is considered. Poor farmers 
may drop out to regain access to their land for uses that 
provide cash returns in the shorter term.

Financial investors pool their investments through intermediaries, 
alongside other dynamic forces in the global economy, making 
unambiguous assessments of their effect difficult (Clapp, 2014; Clapp, 
2017). However, assessment of the broader trends at the interface of 
financial investment, food system dynamics and climate change shows 
potential connections.

Climate-induced variability in food production has the potential to 
introduce a new level of uncertainty into food and farmland markets, 
encouraging financial investment into products to capitalise on price 
volatility and to hedge risks. The new financial instruments enable 
investors to speculate more easily on the direction of food and land 
prices, especially when they are volatile (Ouma, 2014; Baines, 2017).

5.13.7  Climate Change Interactions with other Drivers—

Food–Water–Health–Energy–Security Nexus

Linkages between food security and nutrition with water and energy 
as well as other important socio-environmental issues are increasingly 
being described within a nexus framework (see also Chapters 3, 4, 6 
and 7), with food systems frequently located at the centre of nexus 
concepts (Caron et al., 2018).

Climate change will affect the food–energy–water (FEW) nexus, 
commonly in the form of risk multiplier (

high confidence

) (e.g., Conway 

et al., 2015; Barik et al., 2016; Keairns et al., 2016; Abbott et al., 2017; 
Ebhuoma and Simatele, 2017; Caron et  al., 2018; D’Odorico et  al., 
2018; de Amorim et  al., 2018; Mpandeli et  al., 2018; Nhamo et  al., 
2018; Soto Golcher and Visseren-Hamakers, 2018; Yang et al., 2018; 
Amjath-Babu et al., 2019; Froese and Schilling, 2019; Mercure et al., 
2019; Momblanch et  al., 2019; Pastor et  al., 2019; Xu et  al., 2019). 
Xu et  al. (2019) modelled the irrigation demand for large-scale 
maize production in Northeast China and concluded that increasing 
droughts under future climate change would lead to extreme shortage 
of irrigation water without adaptive measures. Barik et  al. (2016) 
described how the growing demand for food in India has led to more 
irrigation with a reduction in groundwater levels in some regions.

Increasing demands for food, energy and water can lead to domestic 
and international conflict, including political instability and migration, 
often in the context of drought (

high confidence

) (Abbott et al., 2017; 

Bush and Martiniello, 2017; WEF, 2017; D’Odorico et  al., 2018; de 
Amorim et al., 2018). de Amorim et al. (2018) conclude that the FEW 
nexus is susceptible to many global risks, including extreme weather 
events and human migrations, and predominantly endangers vulnerable 
communities of less developed countries. There is emerging evidence that 
food and water insecurity enhances social conflicts, including protests 
and violent riots, at least partially, by accelerating existing grievances 
(Heslin, 2021; Koren et al., 2021). Closer coordination at global, regional 
and national levels could be recommended to manage these risks.

Meeting growing demands for food, water and energy under a changing 
climate requires technical solutions and behavioural change as well as 
greater coordination across multilateral institutions and governance. 
Supply-side solutions focus on enhancing production, reducing food 
waste and loss or lowering water demand through both technological 

approaches (e.g., breeding, improved irrigation) and agroecological 
approaches, such as agroforestry, underutilised and more adapted 
crops, and transition towards a circular economy (Alexander et  al., 
2015; Obersteiner et al., 2016; D’Odorico et al., 2018; Nhamo et al., 
2018; Soto Golcher and Visseren-Hamakers, 2018). Demand-side 
solutions focus primarily on changes in consumer behaviour towards 
healthier diets with lower carbon footprints, particularly reduction of 
meat consumption (Alexander et al., 2015; Obersteiner et al., 2016). 
Improving the coordination of multilateral organisations could result 
in improved cross-boundary management of natural resources, 
particularly related to water (Conway et al., 2015; Nhamo et al., 2018; 
Soto Golcher and Visseren-Hamakers, 2018).

As relationships between individual subsystems are systemic, integrated 
solutions would result in better outcomes across the FEW nexus (

strong 

agreement

). Obersteiner et  al. (2016) concluded that single-sector 

policies can create strong trade-offs with other policy targets and SDGs, 
whereas strategies that reduce pressure on food production systems 
diminish trade-offs between FEW nexus components. This suggests that 
achieving multiple SDGs will require balancing societal demands in the 
context of finite natural resources (Jägermeyr et al., 2017; Amjath-Babu 
et al., 2019; Momblanch et al., 2019).

Despite concluding that integrated solutions addressing the systemic 
connections between the FEW nexus would improve development and 
environmental outcomes, there are limitations of integrating multiple 
frameworks, both in terms of describing the complexities and in finding 
solutions (Leck et al., 2015; Weitz et al., 2017; Wichelns, 2017; Shannak 
et al., 2018). Leck et al. (2015) and Weitz et al. (2017) indicate that 
evidence of successful implementation and improved outcomes based 
on the application of nexus concepts is rare.

Implementation Pathways to Adaptation 

and Co-benefits

5.14.1  State of Adaptation of Food, Feed, Fibre and Other 

Ecosystem Products

Since AR5, several adaptation reviews have been done (Ford et  al., 
2015; Lesnikowski et  al., 2016). In a review of 1159 peer-reviewed 
sources, Berrang-Ford et al. (2021b) found that observed adaptations 
in food, fibre and other ecosystem products have consisted mainly of 
changes in autonomous behaviour changes, such as changing planting 
time, followed by technological/infrastructure and ecosystem-based 
adaptation approaches, the majority of which have occurred in Africa 
and Asia (Figures  5.20 and 5.21, Table  5.22). Several adaptation 
options addressed multiple SDGs (e.g., 2, 6, 8, 12) (Figure 5.21).

Assessment of adaptation options was done for 15 potential options 
for land and ecosystem transitions (SM5.7, Figure  5.22a). Several 
adaptation options have high to medium feasibility, with 

robust 

evidence

,

 high agreement

 about the adaptive capacity resilience 

building potential of options in relation to climate change impact 
drivers (

high confidence

). Policy and planning and production shifts 

have limited evidence for feasibility. Most options are technically 
and physically feasible, with generally high political and social

acceptability and environmental feasibility, but have limited evidence 
for institutional feasibility. Most adaptation options have medium to 
high microeconomic feasibility (

high confidence

) but 

limited evidence

 

for macroeconomic viability.

Among five effectiveness indicators (SM5.7, Figure  5.22b), most 
options have 

robust evidence

 of reduced risk vulnerability to climate 

change, with low scores for local governance, substitution of plant or 
animal type, community forest management, livelihood diversification 
and climate services. Higher-scored options to reduce risk included 
increasing biodiversity (at landscape and field level), community seed 
banks, conventional breeding (plant and animals), mixed systems 

and agroecological approaches (

medium confidence

), suggesting 

multiple co-benefits of these options. Most options have high scores 
for enhancing social well-being and economic and environmental 
benefits (

medium confidence

) but limited evidence for strengthening 

institutions for most options. There were low scores for potential 
maladaptation (

medium confidence

).

5.14.1.1  Nature-based solutions or ecosystem-based adaptation

There is growing evidence that nature-based solutions (NBS), which 
emphasise ecological approaches and biodiversity conservation 
(Chapter 1), have high potential to transform land and aquatic systems

(

Tesfaye et al., 2019)

There may be inequality in access to climate services; their use may tend 
to benefit large-scale operations and disadvantage small- and medium-
scale farmers and others who face issues of access due to social and 
economic inequity; also some groups such as pastoralists have not 
yet benefitted from climate services (

high confidence

) (Furman et al., 

2014; Muema et  al., 2018; Awazi et  al., 2019; Nyantakyi-Frimpong, 
2019; Paudyal et al., 2019; Vaughan et al., 2019; Nidumolu et al., 2020; 
Partey et  al., 2020). Other challenges include technology ignorance, 
data privacy and security, data access permissions, software and 
system compatibility, and understanding how to use and derive value 
from accessed data (Chatuphale and Armstrong, 2018; Drewry et al., 
2019). More work is needed to understand the factors that prevent 
farmers and fishers from benefitting from this new information. Recent 
assessments suggest that access to, and value of, climate and weather 
information can be enhanced by the development of digital tools 
(including radio, text messages, etc.) appropriate to the specific needs 
of different vulnerable groups, as well as by including these groups in 

their development and building their capacity (

) 

(Camacho and Conover, 2019; Gumucio et al., 2020; Sultan et al., 2020).

5.14.1.3  Insurance as a climate impact risk management tool

Insurance is a financial adaptation strategy increasingly used in 
agriculture and aquaculture. A relatively new approach to agricultural 
insurance risk is the use of financial derivative products, such as index-
based agricultural insurance (IBAI), marketed by financial institutions 
to farmers to help them deal with weather-related production risks 
(Isakson, 2015; Jensen and Barrett, 2017). The basic idea is to rely on 
easily observed weather indices, such as precipitation or temperature, 
that co-vary with farm production. Insurance payments are received 
when the metric trigger for a region is reached, eliminating the need 
to collect farm-specific information. Proponents of index insurance 
argue that it can resolve the information costs and incentive problems 
inherent in rural financial markets, such as adverse selection, and allow 
provision of insurance coverage at a fraction of the costs of loss-based 
polices (Jensen and Barrett, 2017). Buyers of index policies do not have 
to prove their ownership of assets with weather-related losses. This 
lowers transactions costs and makes it more affordable to insure small 
plots of land.

Box 5.11: Agroecology as a Transformative Climate Change Adaptation Approach

Agroecological approaches can increase food system resilience (

such as agroforestry can provide mitigation measures (

(Section 5.10.4.2, Table Box 5.11.1, Altieri et al., 2015; Martin 

and Willaume, 2016; HLPE, 2019; Bezner Kerr et al., 2021; Snapp et al., 2021). Studies testing agroecological approaches have shown 

robust evidence

,

 medium agreement

 of increasing adaptation effectiveness through reducing risk, improving food security and yield 

stability, reducing input costs, and other supporting and provisioning ecosystem services (Section 5.4.4.4 Diacono et al., 2017; Pandey 
et al., 2017; Schulte et al., 2017; Calderón, 2018; Bezner Kerr et al., 2019; Côte et al., 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Bezner Kerr et al., 
2021; Snapp et al., 2021). Effective locally relevant agroecological approaches involve participatory processes, co-creation of knowledge 
with farmers and attention to social inequities (Bezner Kerr et al., 2021; Santoso et al., 2021; Snapp et al., 2021). To address smallholder 
vulnerability to climate change impacts, however, additional policy support beyond agroecology will be needed that is context specific; 
for example, addressing farmer capacity, limited political power to access land, water, seeds and other key natural resources, structural 
gender inequities, policy and market disincentives that support large-scale monocultures (

Different dimensions of agroecological transitions as a 

transformative climate change adaptation strategy

Links to climate change impacts, benefits, trade-offs and constraints to imple-

mentation with examples

Environmental

: Agroecology can support long-term productivity and 

resilience of food systems by sustaining ecosystem services such as 
pollination, SOC, pest and weed control, soil microbial activity, crop 
yield stability, water quality and biodiversity (

high confidence

,

 

see 

Section 5.4.4.4, Cross-Working Group Box BIOECONOMY this chapter and 
Cross-Chapter Box NATURAL in Chapter 2). (Isbell et al., 2017; Kremen and 
Merenlender, 2018; LaCanne and Lundgren, 2018; Beillouin et al., 2019b; 
Dainese et al., 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Snapp et al., 2021).

 

– Biodiversity of functional species groups and responses to climate hazards play an important 

role in building stability and productivity in agroecological systems (5.4.4.4). A 5-year study, for 
example, in Asia, Africa and Latin America found that smallholder farmers (<2 ha) increased yields 
by 25% through promoting pollination (Garibaldi et al., 2016).

 

– Landscape complexity is an important feature of agroecology which can increase resilience to 

extreme events, such as pest and disease outbreaks or floods, and provide multi-purpose benefits 
(Sections 5.4.4; 5.10.4.2) (Paolotti et al., 2016; Reed et al., 2016; Kremen and Merenlender, 2018; 
LaCanne and Lundgren, 2018; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Holt-Giménez et al., 2021).

 

– Context-specific: some agroecological systems and practices have lower average crop productivity 

than conventional systems, while others can have higher overall crop productivity and farm 
profitability (LaCanne and Lundgren, 2018; Barbieri et al., 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019).

Socio-cultural

:

 

Effective locally relevant agroecological approaches involve 

participatory processes, co-creation of knowledge with farmers and 
attention to social inequities, in doing so building farmer capacity (HLPE, 
2019; Bharucha et al., 2020; Holt-Giménez et al., 2021; Snapp et al., 2021).

 

– Agroecology can emphasise social justice concerns, including gender inequities, considered crucial 

for climate change adaptations in food production to have positive impacts on food security 
and nutrition (Cross-Chapter Box GENDER in Chapter 18; (Smith and Haddad, 2015; HLPE, 2019; 
Sylvester and Little, 2020).

 

– In some contexts, agroecological systems can draw on and support Indigenous knowledge, 

farming systems, networks and socio-cultural values (Catacora-Vargas et al., 2017).

Food security and nutrition

: Agroecological practices can increase 

household food security and nutrition for producer households, with 
more evidence in low- and medium-income countries (

high confidence

) 

(Darrouzet-Nardi, 2016; Demeke et al., 2017; Jones, 2017a; Kangmennaang 
et al., 2017; Pandey et al., 2017; Luna-Gonzalez and Sorensen, 2018; 
Bezner Kerr et al., 2019; Boedecker et al., 2019; Mulwa and Visser, 2020; 
Bezner Kerr et al., 2021; Santoso et al., 2021).

 

– Combinations of practices, such as intercropping, crop rotation and crop diversification, often 

outperform individual practices for yield and food security outcomes (Beillouin et al., 2019b; 
Bezner Kerr et al., 2021).

 

– Agroecological systems more effectively support food security and nutrition when complemented 

by nutrition and health education, participatory research and other public policies and 
programmes which address access to knowledge (

high confidence;

 (HLPE, 2019; Bezner Kerr et al., 

2021; 7.4).

Economic

:

 

Agroecology can support socioeconomic resilience, through 

reducing reliance on purchased inputs, enhancing local and regional 
economies (HLPE, 2019; Bharucha et al., 2020; Holt-Giménez et al., 2021).

 

– Multi-level policies and programmes that support urban and peri-urban networks with 

agroecological producers, including farmers’ markets, public procurement (e.g., school meals, 
hospitals), incentives for short food value chains, and participatory guarantee certification 
schemes which build producer–consumer networks are all ways to support agroecological 
transitions by consumers (

high confidence

) (Catacora-Vargas et al., 2017; Pérez-Marin et al., 2017; 

Mier y Terán Giménez Cacho et al., 2018; Anderson et al., 2019a; HLPE, 2019; Borsatto et al., 2020; 
González de Molina, 2020).

 

– Transitions to agroecology at a global scale, however, may require considerable dietary shifts 

which vary by region, and have implications for total food production and farm-level revenues, 
especially in the short term (medium confidence, (Muller et al., 2017; Seufert and Ramakutty, 
2017; Barbieri et al., 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2019b; Smith et al., 2020a).

 

– To address smallholder vulnerability to climate change impacts, additional policy support beyond 

agroecology will be needed that is context specific; for example, addressing farmer capacity, 
limited political power to access land, water, seeds and other key natural resources, structural 
gender inequities, policy and market disincentives that support large-scale monocultures 
(Anderson et al., 2019a; Holt-Giménez et al., 2021; Snapp et al., 2021).

Long-term investment

:

 

Timeframes are an important consideration, as an 

agroecological transition involves multiple overlapping stages, of reducing 
chemical inputs, experimenting with and applying new agroecological 
practices and adjusting them, redesigning the farm, strengthening short 
value chains and producer networks (Gliessman, 2014; Padel et al., 2020).

 

– In the short term, without policy support, the costs of implementing agroecological practices at 

the farm scale can outweigh ecological and adaptation benefits, although the timeframe required 
is context-specific (Padel et al., 2020).

 

– In the long term, implementing agroecological practices can increase yields, yield stability 

and farm profitability, reduce risks, and build resilience alongside ecological, health and social 
co-benefits, but impacts are context-specific (Section 5.4.4.4, Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Bezner 
Kerr et al., 2021; Snapp et al., 2021).

 

– In Malawi, for example, studies indicate that smallholder producers using agroecological practices 

improved food security and nutrition, livelihoods and provisioning ecosystem services after 2 years 
(Kangmennaang et al., 2017; Bezner Kerr et al., 2019; Kansanga et al., 2021), while in the UK, 
farmers transitioning to agroecological practices took 3 or more years to realise benefits (Padel 
et al., 2020).

Chapter 5

The creation of index insurance requires significant prior research 
and extensive data that may not be available or sufficient in lower-
income countries, including identifying the most appropriate farm and 
climate variables to include and financial and regulatory support from 
the public sector (Economic Commission for Latin America and the 
Caribbean and Central American Agricultural Council of the Central 
American Integration System, 2013; Economic Commission for Latin 
America and the Caribbean and System, 2014). Some insurance 
providers bundle it with other services, such as fertilizer use or seeds 
that may not be useful to particular farmers and can increase their 
overall capital costs (Isakson, 2015). Although proponents see IBAI 
as a way to mitigate farmers’ risks associated with more variable 
weather patterns (Greatrex et al., 2015), critics argue that derivative-
based insurance products tend to benefit wealthier farmers and fail in 
assisting the poorest and most marginalised farmers (Isakson, 2015; 
Taylor, 2016). Thus far, there is 

low agreement 

and 

medium evidence

 

regarding the adaptation potential of derivatives-based insurance 
products, signalling a need for further research in this area.

5.14.1.4  Community-based adaptation approaches

Community-based adaptation (CbA) strategies, which involve locally 
driven, place-based adaptation approaches, can help build adaptive 
capacity to climate change impacts, but require explicit attention to 
power dynamics, respect for local and Indigenous knowledge systems, 
adequate resources, future climatic trends and coordination at 
multiple levels of governance to be effective (

high confidence

) (Spires 

et  al., 2014; Fernández-Giménez et  al., 2015; Nagoda, 2015; Ashley 
et al., 2016; Berner et al., 2016; Ensor et al., 2016; Avtar et al., 2019; 
Lam et al., 2019; Silwal et al., 2019; McNamara et al., 2020; Piggott-
McKellar et al., 2020; Rossa, 2020; Uchiyama et al., 2020). Since AR5, 

there is strong evidence that participation of local stakeholders in 
adaptation planning and implementation improves communities’ 
capacity to monitor and respond to climate change impacts on food, 
fibre and forestry systems, provided that adequate resources and local 
knowledge on climate change exist. Participatory monitoring of climate 
change impacts and participatory scenario development to develop 
community action plans are examples, which can help strengthen 
community preparation for and response to climate impacts.

Community-based monitoring of forests, coral reefs, seagrass and 
mangroves are examples of local natural resource assessment that 
can support food security and livelihoods while informing regional and 
national climate change planning tools (Carter et  al., 2014; Gevaña 
et al., 2018; Avtar et al., 2019). Negotiation among many stakeholders 
at multiple scales, including inclusive mechanisms to address power 
inequities in governance structures and communities, may be needed 
for CbA to be effective (Avtar et al., 2019; McNamara et al., 2020). 
Indigenous knowledge and community-based management of 
fisheries and aquaculture in the Arctic and Asia (Roux et  al., 2019; 
Chen and Cheng, 2020; Galappaththi et al., 2020a; Schott et al., 2020; 
Galappaththi et al., 2021) provide adaptive strategies for sustainable 
use. (Iticha and Husen, 2019). Community-based climate services in 
the Andes (managed through a collaboration of smallholder producers 
and an international partnership) built capacity and knowledge of 
climate change dynamics as well as trust in local climate institutions, 
providing meaningful information for regional responses to climate 
change impacts (Rossa, 2020). Community-based participatory 
scenario planning can help identify multiple climate stressors and 
vulnerabilities to develop effective adaptation plans (Fernández-
Giménez et al., 2015; Bennett et al., 2016; Cross-Chapter Box MOVING 
PLATE this chapter).

Different dimensions of agroecological transitions as a 

transformative climate change adaptation strategy

Links to climate change impacts, benefits, trade-offs and constraints to imple-

mentation with examples

Policy tools

:

 

Investment in agroecological approaches that are designed 

for socio-ecological context, farmer-led schools, co-learning platforms, and 
networks of farmers, scientists, private sector and civil society can support 
agroecological transitions at a regional scale (

high confidence

) (Coe 

et al., 2014; Catacora-Vargas et al., 2017; Pérez-Marin et al., 2017; Mier 
y Terán Giménez Cacho et al., 2018; Anderson et al., 2019a; González de 
Molina, 2020; Lampkin et al., 2020; Padel et al., 2020; Snapp et al., 2021). 
Policies can provide incentives (e.g., price premiums, access to credit, 
extension service, taxes, regulation) to support agroecological transitions 
by producers (HLPE, 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Gerard et al., 2020; 
SAPEA, 2020).

 

– Farm scale and landscape diversity can affect the capacity for producers to implement 

agroecological systems. Small to mid-sized farms can more effectively integrate agroecological 
methods such as increasing landscape diversity, on-farm diversity and intercrops (

medium 

confidence)

 (Garibaldi et al., 2016; Herrero et al., 2017; HLPE, 2019). Barriers to adopting 

agroecological practices for small to mid-sized farms include limited market options, subsidy 
and policy disincentives, lack of extension support, knowledge and insecure land tenure (Jacobi 
et al., 2017; Kongsager, 2017; Hernández-Morcillo et al., 2018; Iiyama et al., 2018; Anderson et al., 
2019a; Gerard et al., 2020).

 

– Barriers for large farms to transition to agroecological practices include knowledge gaps, cost, 

significant infrastructure and farm design changes, labour, psycho-social adjustments, policy 
disincentives and market lock-ins (Hill, 2014; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Lampkin et al., 2020).

 

– Some policies and initiatives support large-sized farms to transition to agroecology (Zhou et al., 

2014; Liebman and Schulte, 2015; Ajates Gonzalez et al., 2018; Bellon and Ollivier, 2018; Lampkin 
et al., 2020; Padel et al., 2020).

Other drivers of agroecological transitions can include crises 
(environmental, economic or social), social movements, changing 
socio-cultural values, addressing social inequities, and discourse 
(Pérez-Marin et al., 2017; Mier y Terán Giménez Cacho et al., 2018; 
Anderson et al., 2019a).

Further research could provide context-specific information about economic and ecological benefits 
of some practices and combinations, with effective policies to support their implementation (

high 

confidence

) (HLPE, 2019; Rosa-Schleich et al., 2019; Snapp et al., 2021). Institutional support to 

monitor the ecosystem services climate change mitigation and adaptation impact of agroecological 
systems can inform policy, using systematic methods and indicators (e.g., Barrios et al., 2020; Mottet 
et al., 2020) including annual reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate 
Change (UNFCCC) (Snapp et al., 2021).

Chapter 5 

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

An assessment of 32 different CbA initiatives in the Pacific Islands, 
including addressing risks to food security, found high-performing 
projects had six key entry points: effective methods to improve 
adaptive capacity, appropriate to the local context, which moved 
beyond narrow geographical definitions of community to consider 
equity of impact, and ecosystem-based approaches, jointly addressing 
climatic and non-livelihood pressures and consideration of future 
climatic trends (McNamara et al., 2020). Low-performing initiatives, in 
contrast, were not sustained; these overlooked future climatic trends 
in their initiatives, such as beehive susceptibility to climate extremes, 
and had dependent, unequal relationships that lacked genuine local 
approval or ownership and did not fit local values and context (Spires 
et al., 2014; McNamara et al., 2020; Piggott-McKellar et al., 2020). CbA 
initiatives can also suffer from not having adequate local knowledge of 
potential strategies to address future climatic scenarios, and may lead 
to maladaptation, increasing socioeconomic inequities in communities 
(Nagoda, 2015). Addressing inequity in power dynamics and building 
technical adaptive capacity of local people are some of the ways that 
CbA initiatives can support more resilient food systems (McNamara 
et al., 2020).

5.14.1.5  Local and regional food systems’ strengthening and 

food sovereignty

Food sovereignty brings together adaptation options based on 
agroecological methods, access to resources, collective and CbA (HLPE, 
2019). Addressing food security and nutrition in light of climate change 
impacts and vulnerabilities is considered to arise from a mixture of 
globalised supply chains and local production, not one or the other 
(Blesh et al., 2019; Stringer et al., 2020). Evidence on strengthening 
local and regional food systems with a food sovereignty approach, 
in terms of access to resources (land, seeds, water), shortened food 
chains and CbA strategies suggest that these strategies can positively 
contribute to climate change adaptation in many contexts (

medium 

confidence

) (SRCCL) but can also lead to conflict especially regarding 

management of mobile resources such as fisheries (Section 5.8, Cross-
Chapter Box MOVING PLATE this chapter). All these options can build 
adaptation through actions that strengthen local capacities and the 
power to act within food systems. Securing and recognising tenure 
for Indigenous Peoples (Hurlbert et al., 2019) and local communities 
(Oates et al., 2020) can improve their ability to adapt by increasing 
the incentive to invest in resilient infrastructure and sustainable 
land management practices. Community seed banks and networks 
strengthen local seed systems and realise farmers’ rights favouring 
access to a variety of local genetic resources, with landraces often 
more adapted to the local social, cultural and ecological environment 
and needs, and better adapted to harsh environments without external 
inputs (Mousseau, 2015; Bisht et al., 2018; Maharjan and Maharjan, 
2018; Otieno et  al., 2018; Mbow et  al., 2019). This plays a key role 
in PPB (Section 5.4.4.5; FAO, 2019e). The integration of informal and 
formal seed system elements is important for the adaptive capacity of 
smallholder farmers (Westengen and Brysting, 2014; Westengen and 
Berg, 2016; FAO, 2019e).

Strengthening both local and regional food systems is a strategy 
to increase resilience (Schipanski et  al., 2016; Palmer et  al., 2017), 
resource use efficiency (Mu et  al., 2019) and self-reliance (

medium 

evidence

, 

low agreement

) (Griffin et al., 2015; Chapin et al., 2016; Karg 

et al., 2016). Collective trademarks (Quiñones-Ruiz et al., 2015) and 
participatory guarantee systems (Niederle et al., 2020) are examples 
of innovative institutional strategies to strengthen local and regional 
food systems. In the urban context, the city region food system (CRFS) 
approach is motivated by reducing dependence on international trade 
and associated instability and to facilitate local decision making (Karg 
et  al., 2016). CRFS includes a network within a regional landscape 
around one urban centre and surrounding peri-urban and rural regions 
(Blay-Palmer et al., 2018). UPA is promoted as an effective strategy to 
adapt to climate change in different contexts (see Section  5.12.5.3, 
Dubbeling, 2015; Lwasa et  al., 2015). To cope with the effects of 
climate change, strengthening regional food systems is becoming 
an explicit part of urban and regional policy, being tested in many 
different cities worldwide (Dubbeling et al., 2017; Blay-Palmer et al., 
2018; Berner et al., 2019; Sellberg et al., 2020; van der Gaast et al., 
2020). Strengthening both local and regional food systems has to be 
balanced against limitations and trade-offs, since modelling exercises 
of regionalisation scenarios show urban agriculture cannot achieve 
food security in areas with rapid population growth (Le Mouël et al., 
2018). Furthermore, international trade can compensate in cases 
where the regional system fails due to extreme events or other related 
climate shocks (Section 5.11.8).

5.14.2  Enabling Conditions for Implementing Adaptation

5.14.2.1  Addressing social inequities in food systems

Addressing gender and other social inequities (e.g., racial, ethnicity, 
age, income, geographic location) in markets, governance and control 
over resources is a key enabling condition for climate-resilient 
transitions in land and aquatic ecosystems (

high confidence

) (Pearse, 

2017; Vermeulen et  al., 2018; Blesh et  al., 2019; Rao et  al., 2019b; 
Cross-Chapter Box GENDER in Chapter 18, Section 5,13,1; Tavenner 
et  al., 2019). Adaptation strategies can have negative impacts on 
marginalised social groups and worsen socioeconomic inequities 
unless explicit efforts are made to address unequal power dynamics and 
differences in access to resources in agricultural, fisheries, aquaculture, 
livestock and forestry systems (

high confidence

)

 

(Glemarec, 2017; 

Haji and Legesse, 2017; Nagoda and Nightingale, 2017; Nightingale, 
2017; Rao et al., 2019b; Huyer and Partey, 2020; Mikulewicz, 2020; 
Taylor and Bhasme, 2020; Eriksen et al., 2021). Technical approaches to 
adaptation that ignore inequities can worsen them; see, for example, 
the case study on Climate Smart Agriculture (Box  5.12). Enabling 
environments support inclusive decision making, capacity building, 
shifts in social rules, norms and behaviours and access to resources 
for marginalised groups for climate change adaptation (e.g., Tschakert 
et al., 2016; Ziervogel, 2019; Eriksen et al., 2021; Garcia et al., 2021).

5.14.2.2  Incorporating Indigenous knowledge and local 

knowledge

Indigenous knowledge (IK) and local knowledge (LK), while an 
important component of many adaptation strategies (Reyes-García, 
2014; Roue, 2018), continues to be marginalised in food systems; 
greater integration will increase effectiveness (

Chapter 5

(Ford et  al., 2015; Brugnach et  al., 2017; Figueroa-Helland et  al., 
2018). Where  Indigenous  Peoples have access to and control over 
their lands and natural resources, food systems can potentially be 
more sustainably managed and more resilient (

high confidence

) 

(Rumbach and Foley, 2014; O’Connell-Milne, 2015; Camacho et  al., 
2016; Janhiainen, 2017; Kihila, 2018). For example, on Solomon 
Islands, community-based adaptation combining with IK-informed 
community mapping helped boost agricultural yields sustainably (Leon 
et al., 2015), and in China people living in rich plant resource regions 
have used their wild plants IK to complement the decrease of crop 
yields during extreme droughts to ensure food security (Zhang et al., 
2016). These cases have led scientists and local communities to call 
for more practical actions to bridge local knowledge, IK and formal 
science (Borquez et al., 2017; Klenk et al., 2017; Mukhopadhyay, 2017; 
Olorunfemi, 2017; Reyes-Garcia et  al., 2019). Despite this increased 
public and scientific recognition, IK is often not acknowledged or used.

Effective adaptation requires a more holistic approach that includes 
the recognition of Indigenous rights, governance systems and laws 
(

high confidence

) (Robinson et al., 2016a; Brugnach et al., 2017; Magni, 

2017; McMillen et al., 2017; McNeeley, 2017; Pearce et al., 2018), and 
to couple IK with proactive and regionally coherent adaptation plans, 
actions and cooperation (Shaffer, 2014; Melvin et al., 2017; Forbis Jr. 
and Hayhoe, 2018; Makondo and Thomas, 2018).

Supporting Indigenous groups’ knowledge and other excluded social 
groups can help preserve and harness underutilised resources to 
enhance nutritional and economic security, with careful measures in 
protecting Indigenous intellectual rights and avoiding commodification 
exploitation (Nakashima et  al., 2012; Nandal and Bhardwaj, 2014; 
Ghosh-Jerath et al., 2015; Ebert, 2017). In some regions, there has been a 
loss of IK about food systems, reducing adaptive capacity (Richards et al., 
2019; Panikkar and Lemmond, 2020). Knowledge exchange between 
Indigenous elders and youth can support adaptive capacity (Osterhoudt, 
2018; Richards et al., 2019; Zin et al., 2019). Education utilising IK and 
LK can help prevent maladaptation options (

high confidence

) (Melvin 

et  al., 2017; Taremwa, 2017; Forbis Jr. and Hayhoe, 2018; Narayan 
et al., 2020). There are examples of integrating IK and LK into resource 
management systems and school curricula and in local institutions with 
existing decision-making process to strengthen their capacity to address 

Box 5.12: Is Climate-Smart Agriculture Overlooking Gender and Power Relations?

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach that aims to increase agricultural productivity, enhance food security, adapt to climate 
change and, where possible, reduce GHG emissions. The effective implementation of climate-smart practices is conceptually linked to an 
enabling environment in which policies, institutions and finance can re-orient agricultural systems, thereby supporting development and 
enhancing food security in a changing climate (Lipper et al., 2014; Karttunen et al., 2017). However, the concept has received criticism 
based on the absence of conceptual clarity of the interrelations between productivity, food security, adaptation and mitigation (Arenas-
Sanchez et al., 2019) and because of limited evidence on the efficacy of CSA for achieving adaptation and mitigation outcomes at a global 
scale (Arslan et al., 2015; Lamanna et al., 2016; Chandra et al., 2018). Some argue that CSA operates within an apolitical framework that 
tends to minimise issues concerning power, inequity and access, and is overly focused on technical approaches (Taylor, 2017; HLPE, 2019). 
CSA is explicitly referenced by more than 30 countries in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) (Ross et al., 2016), 
but measuring the degree of its implementation still represents a challenge.

There is 

low agreement

, 

medium evidence

 on the relationship between CSA and equity (Allen, 2018; Karlsson et al., 2018). CSA can 

potentially benefit women if they are able to take advantage of improvements in productivity, food security and adaptation decision 
making as a result of the implementation of CSA practices. Nevertheless, these advantages can be unequally realised given male 
domination in receiving information and extension services, as well as financial or resource access (Jost et al., 2016). Some (Huyer and 
Partey, 2020) argue that CSA may undermine gender equity (Collins, 2018), entrench and solidify power (Haapala, 2018), and result in the 
disproportional allocation of new labour-intensive activities to women (Jost et al., 2016). Uptake of some climate-smart technologies can 
further marginalise the most disadvantaged local groups (Roncoli et al., 2009; Haapala, 2018). Unequal sharing of benefits and burdens 
with respect to emission reduction costs among different agricultural groups has also been observed (Budiman, 2019).

In contrast, emerging research points to the potential of CSA as a supporting condition for gender equity, provided that equity and power 
concerns are explicitly included in the approach (Chanana-Nag and Aggarwal, 2020). Some CSA technologies and practices, such as direct 
seeding, green manuring and laser land levelling, can have a significant role in reducing the gender gap in labour burden for women 
in agriculture (Khatri-Chhetri et al., 2020). The use of participatory approaches can facilitate community-based adaptation of gender-
sensitive CSA practices (Rosimo, 2018). CSA may also empower both men and women: in two villages in India, CSA adoption empowered 
both sexes in decision making and use and control of income (Hariharan et al., 2018).

In general CSA programmes have tended to overlook questions of inequity (

medium confidence

), including limited attention to social 

conditions that promote Business-As-Usual pathways, although this is now changing. Addressing questions of rights, social injustice, 
unequal power relations and inequity would help make CSA-related policy responses more effective in addressing vulnerability (Chandra 
et  al., 2017; Clapp and Isakson, 2018; Karlsson et  al., 2018; Westengen et  al., 2018; Ellis and Tschakert, 2019; Eriksen et  al., 2019;

2017; McNeeley et al., 2018; McNeeley et al., 2020). However, there are 
limitations of IK and LK to address future climate impacts. Therefore, 
it is important that science-based knowledge and  other knowledge 
coalesce to produce solutions that are sustainable and viable in the face 
of projected impacts of climate change. Community-based adaptation 
approaches can integrate IK and LK and more formal knowledge 
systems, provided efforts to establish relationships of respect, trust and 
common understanding between different stakeholders involved (Herath

5.14.2.3  System transformation and policy enablers

Recent literature highlights the future challenges of producing the 
quantities of food needed to feed a growing world population in a 
way that satisfies nutritional needs, benefits everyone equally and 
equitably, and minimises the negative impacts of food systems on the 
environment and the natural resource base. There is broad agreement 
that current trajectories towards the SDGs and countries’ commitments 
under the Paris Agreement are slow and that transformation of food 
systems is needed (

medium agreement

, 

robust evidence

) (Campbell 

et al., 2018; Brondizio et al., 2019; Dury et al., 2019; EAT-LANCET, 2019; 
FAO, 2019 f; Food and Land Use Coalition, 2019; Sachs et al., 2019; 

Searchinger, 2019a; Searchinger T, 2019b; Loboguerrero et al., 2020; 
Meridian Institute, 2020; Steiner A, 2020).

Recent reviews have summarised literature on production system 
transformations, driven at least in part by a changing climate or 
changing climate variability. Such transformations may involve 
sometimes substantial shifts in farm and livelihood enterprises 
and land configurations, including intensification, diversification, 
sedentarisation and abandonment of agriculture (Vermeulen et al., 2018; 
Thornton et al., 2019). Relevant literature is summarised in Table 5.24, 
showing reported farmers’ perceptions of the drivers of change and 
the different outcomes of these changes. The consequences of these 
production system transitions have been mixed; in about 40% of cases, 
the outcomes at household level have been unequivocally beneficial. 
In the other cases, there were detrimental effects on livelihoods, or 
a mixture of positive and negative effects. The effects on nutritional 
security reported in these studies were limited. Different enablers of 
change appear critical if transitions are to have positive outcomes. 
Policy environments, defined in terms of multi-level governance 
structures and institutions, are a key driver of systems change, as well 
as being enablers of and barriers to adaptation responses (Xu et al., 
2008; Namgay et al., 2014; Galvin et al., 2015; Schmidt and Pearson, 
2016; Liao and Fei, 2017). Policies around property and grazing rights 
are directly linked to small-scale food producer vulnerability, and 
land ownership changes will pose a key challenge as climate change 

Box 5.13: Supporting Youth Adaptation in Food Systems

Young people are key agents in agrifood systems: both a vulnerable group, and one that can foster systemic change (

high confidence

) 

(Brooks et al., 2019; Figure X; IFAD, 2019; Flynn and Sumberg, 2021; HLPE, 2021). Food systems are the largest source of employment for 
young people, but do not always provide adequate livelihoods or decent working conditions (HLPE, 2021). Regions with more youthful 
populations—such as Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Central America—are both highly vulnerable to climate change impacts and 
reliant on agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries for livelihoods (Brooks et al., 2019; IFAD, 2019; HLPE, 2021). Rural youth in 
these sectors are particularly vulnerable, often with less access to land, water, capital and other resources, shaped by family and social 
relations, and fewer opportunities (

high confidence

) (Chingala et al., 2017; Ricker-Gilbert and Chamberlin, 2018; IFAD, 2019; Yeboah et al., 

2020; Flynn and Sumberg, 2021; Nhat Lam Duyen, 2021). In these vulnerable regions, climate change compounds other drivers such as 
poverty to increase youth out-migration to urban areas or other regions (

medium confidence

) (Zin et al., 2019; Weinreb et al., 2020; HLPE, 

2021; Stoltz et al., 2021; Voss, 2021), which can further worsen rural economies. Young low-income rural women may be particularly 
marginalised and vulnerable due to systemic gender inequities in access to land, credit, employment, institutions and other resources 
(

medium confidence

) (Sah Akwen, 2017; IFAD, 2019; Flynn and Sumberg, 2021).

Youth play a critical role in all sectors of the food system (HLPE, 2021; Figure Box 5.13.1), and some are actively pursuing work and 
innovation in agrifood systems (

medium confidence

) (Sah Akwen, 2017; 2019; Yeboah et al., 2020; Flynn and Sumberg, 2021). Climate 

change impacts may reduce youth employment options in food systems in some regions, while they are often politically marginalised 
(Brooks et al., 2019; IFAD, 2019; HLPE, 2021). At the same time, due to heightened awareness about climate change, youth may be 
more willing to apply climate adaptation strategies (

medium confidence

) (Ali and Erenstein, 2017; Jiri et al., 2017; Sah Akwen, 2017; 

Chamberlin and Sumberg, 2021; Doherty et al., 2021). Agrifood policy implementation of adaptation strategies could increase inclusive 
participation of youth to meet their needs (HLPE, 2021). Inclusive investments in water management, infrastructure, agrifood science, 
and policies that increase youth access to land, credit, knowledge, education, skills and other crucial resources can support dignified and 
rewarding agrifood employment (Ahsan and Mitra, 2016; Brooks et al., 2019; HLPE, 2021). Digital technologies can support agrifood 
adaptations, but digital divides must be overcome to avoid worsening inequities (HLPE, 2021). Initiatives which protect and strengthen 
youth engagement and employment in the all points of the food system, including recognition of youth’s critical role and agency through 
rights-based approaches, can support sustainable food transitions (HLPE, 2021). Harnessing youth innovation and vision to address 
climate change alongside other SDGs such as gender inequity and rural poverty will be a crucial strategy to ensure resilient economies in 
food systems (

high confidence

) (Laube, 2016; Brooks et al., 2019; IFAD, 2019; Abay et al., 2021; HLPE, 2021).

impacts in the marginal lands intensify (Reid et al., 2014). Collective 
action at multiple scales and effective governance structures are also 
a key enabler of transformational change, for helping community 
initiatives overcome economic, social and technical barriers, and to 
strengthen social capital and farmer knowledge (Haglund et al., 2011; 
Reed et al., 2017; Vermeulen et al., 2018; Fedele et al., 2019). Market 
development has been shown to be a critical factor for successful 
adaptation at scale in sub-Saharan Africa (Ouédraogo et  al., 2017; 
Iiyama et  al., 2018; Totin et  al., 2018). At the same time, financing 
mechanisms may be a crucial enabler for different food system actors: 
de-risking agricultural production and food system investments for 
producers and input suppliers, for example, that address core market 
failures and compensate actors for extra short-term costs that can 
lead to longer-term benefits, particularly for small-scale producers and 
businesses with comparatively low access to technologies and services 
(Vermeulen et al., 2018; Millan, 2019; see Section 5.14.2.5).

The examples in Table 5.24 highlight the uneven impact of adaptation 
programmes and projects in general, due in part to differences in 
institutional support and failure of policies to take into account 
inequities (Clay and King, 2019; Nightingale et al., 2020). Focusing on 
transformational adaptation, Vermeulen (2018) suggested the need 
to expand the remit of adaptation planning to consider the multi-
functionality of agriculture and a system-wide view of food production 
and consumption. Several authors argue that transformational change 
must address the personal, practical and political spheres, in view 
of the role of power relations and worldviews in shaping practices, 
food security and inequity (O’Brien, 2015; Nightingale, 2017; O’Brien, 
2018; Eriksen et al., 2019; Gosnell et al., 2019). If it involves new or 
unfamiliar technology, transformation may also be highly disruptive, 
and the added vulnerabilities of food system actors at risk will need to 
be addressed (Herrero et al., 2020; see Box 5.5).

‘Transformation’, defined by IPCC (2019a) as ‘a change in the 
fundamental attributes of natural and human systems’, is defined 
here as a redistribution of at least a third in the primary factors of 
production (land, labour, capital) and/or the outputs and outcomes of 
production (the types and amounts of production and consumption of

For reference, the SEI Aid-Atlas (https://aid-atlas.org) only reports flows where adaptation is the principal objective, and therefore adaptation spending on agriculture, forestry and fisheries for the same 
period is significantly lower with USD 16.52 billion, that is, 21.4% of total adaptation spending.

goods and services arising from multi-functional agricultural systems) 
(Vermeulen et al., 2018; Thornton et al., 2019).

5.14.2.4  Finance needs and strategies for adaptation

Current understanding of finance flows and needs for adaptation in 
crop agriculture, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture and forest products 
relies primarily on top-down projections, with limited data (UNFCCC, 
2018; Buchner et  al., 2019; Jachnik et  al., 2019). By one estimate, 
in 2017/2018, agriculture, forestry and land use received 24% of 
public adaptation finance (totaling USD 7 billion; half via multilateral 
development finance institutions and one-quarter from governments) 
and 35% of international grants (with 71% used for adaptation) 
(Buchner et al., 2019). According to data from OECD (2020), finance 
flows for agriculture, forestry and fisheries have risen fairly linearly 
from ca. USD 1.46 billion in 2010 (the year the Rio marker on climate 
change adaptation was introduced) to ca.  5.5  billion in 2018. Over 
the entire tracked period, the three subsectors combined received a 
total of USD 29.82 billion for activities with principal and significant 
adaptation components.

 However, the data set only includes climate-

related development finance from bilateral, multilateral and private 
philanthropic sources, whereas private sector finance flows are not 
captured as this is notoriously difficult to track (UNEP, 2016; OECD, 
2020; cross-ref to Cross-Chapter Box FINANCE in Chapter 17). Most of 
the funding (85%) was directed towards agriculture, with forestry (12%) 
and fisheries (3%) receiving significantly less, but across the subsectors, 
there is consistency in the sense that policy and administrative 
management and development receive the lion’s share of support, 
which is predominantly given in the form of grants (72%), while debt 
instruments (26%) and equity and shares in collective investment 
vehicles (2%) contribute less. From a regional perspective, 80% were 
directed to Africa (47%), Asia-Pacific (27%), and Latin America and 
Caribbean States (7%), whereas Eastern Europe and Western Europe 
and Other States received (2%) each and 17% were destined for 
‘developing countries’ without regional tags. Finally, it is noteworthy 
that 38% of adaptation finance in agriculture, forestry and fisheries is 
marked as also having mitigation benefits, and roughly a quarter of 
funding is reported as having principal or significant gender objectives.

Food, Fibre and Other Ecosystem Products

Whether current levels of growth in adaptation finance for agriculture, 
forestry and fisheries is keeping up with estimated needs cannot be 
assessed because of the large uncertainties that surround adaptation 
cost estimates (Cross-Chapter Box FINANCE in Chapter 17). There is, 
hence, high agreement that better assessment of adaptation costs 
of climate impacts requires considerably more research (Watkiss, 
2015; Diaz and Moore, 2017). A recent study focusing on investments 
needed to offset the effects of climate change on the prevalence 
of hunger concludes that investments in agricultural research and 
development (R&D) have to increase from USD 1.62 billion to USD 
2.77 billion per year between 2015 and 2050 (Sulser et al., 2021a). 
In addition to agricultural R&D, significant investment increases in 
water and infrastructure in the range of USD 12.7 billion and USD 
10.8  billion are required, respectively, a considerable portion of 
which is relevant to the food system. In total, Sulser et al. (2021a) 
estimate that annual investment between USD 21.47  billion and 
USD 29.8  billion are needed to avoid sliding back from climate-
change-related increases in the prevalence of hunger but recognise 
the shortcomings of their approach and acknowledge that ‘a full 
analysis of adaptation to climate change in agriculture would 
require including many other social, economic, and environmental 
dimensions’. For comparison, World Bank (2010) estimated global 
costs of USD 70–100  billion per year for agriculture, forestry 
and fisheries, infrastructure, water resources, health, ecosystem 
services, coastal zones and extreme weather events to adapt to an 
approximately 2°C warmer world between 2010 and 2050. While the 
World Bank includes more sectors, more recent publications consider 
the resulting figures to be significantly too low (Baarsch et  al., 
2015; UNEP, 2016; Rossi and Miola, 2017; Hallegatte et  al., 2018; 
Markandya and González-Eguino, 2019; Chapagain et al., 2020; WGII 
Cross-Chapter Box  FINANCE in Chapter 17). Therefore, despite the 
methodological and data challenges, further efforts are needed to 
better capture the economic risks of climate change and provide 
estimates of adaptation costs at global to national scales as well as 
across sectors (Watkiss, 2015; Diaz and Moore, 2017).

Financial barriers limit implementation of adaptation options in 
agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry (

high confidence

)

 

(Shukla et al., 2019; FAO et al., 2020). Finance strategies can contribute 
to adaptation in these sectors in different ways (Table 5.25) and to 
different degrees. Standardised strategies have not yet been developed 
for specific adaptation needs, and in current practice, finance strategies 
are opportunistically deployed, with developing countries facing 
particular challenges due to under-developed financial mechanisms 
(Omari-Motsumi et al., 2019).

Many types of financial instruments are employed by diverse actors 
(Table 5.26) guided by their mandates (e.g., development, commerce), 
capacity (investor, intermediary, donor) and risk appetite. Actors 
within a sector or local production area can coordinate their financial 
strategies towards common objectives (e.g., reduced supply chain 
loss) or participate in joint financial action such as blended finance 
structures that combine commercial and concessionary finance to 
catalyse additional private investment, enrich the pipeline of bankable 
projects, and test business models (FAO, 2020b).

Expanding access to financial services and pooling climate risks 
can enable and incentivise climate change adaptation (

medium 

confidence

) (Shukla et  al., 2019). To mobilise financial instruments 

(Table  5.27) towards adaptation needs, individual actors can apply 
an adaptation lens to existing or new activities, accounting for 
investment characteristics (e.g., development stage; cash flow profile), 
requirements (e.g., amount; risk–return) and context (e.g., regulatory 
landscape) (Havemann et al., 2020). Risk-layering can match financial 
instruments to severity and probability climate risks (Hochrainer-
Stigler and Reiter, 2021).

Flow of adaptation finance in the agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture 
and forestry sectors is impeded by weak measurement and 
benchmarking of financial and resilience outcomes (Kramer et  al., 
2019; Negra et  al., 2020), and challenges in assessing repayment 
capacity of investee producers and companies (

standards) (Woodard et al., 2019; Negra et al., 2020) inhibit effective 
due diligence and impact assessment, contributing to uncertainty 
and low investor confidence (Havemann et al., 2020; NGFS, 2020). 
Improved characterisation of adaptation finance strategies (e.g., 
insurance, subsidies, blended finance) requires increased transaction 
volume (Millan et al., 2019) and analysis of financial (e.g., risk–return 
profile, investor demand) and resilience (e.g., reduced vulnerability) 
effects.

Use of climate-resilient financial strategies and instruments is limited 
by weak incentives, which commonly take the form of high upfront 
costs (Verdolini et  al., 2018), high transaction and intermediation 
costs (Havemann et al., 2020) and relatively long pay-off time. Tenant 
producers may not experience benefits from adaptation investments 
(Woodard et al., 2019). Investors seek low-risk, liquid investments and 
credit-worthy counterparties (Havemann et al., 2020), yet small- and 
medium-sized producers and supply chain actors often lack access 
to formal credit. Given limited experience and weak information for 
adaptation finance, sub-optimal outcomes may include imbalanced 
allocation of public and private finance (e.g., to less vulnerable regions 
and producers; to lower-resilience investments; to short-term benefits) 
as well as inequitable division of risks and returns (e.g., within blended 
finance structures) (Clapp, 2017; World Bank, 2018; Attridge and 
Engen, 2019). Additionally, while risk-sharing finance strategies can 
deliver adaptation benefits, they do not inherently reduce overall risk 
and commonly cover only specified types of risks (Kellett and Peters, 
2014; Watson et al., 2015).

Table 5.26 |

  Potential adaptation finance objectives for major actors in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry sectors.

Actors

Potential adaptation finance objectives

Private sector

: Focused on capturing positive externalities (i.e., lower risks or costs) from adaptation investments (Woodard et al., 2019). Major considerations include fiduciary 

responsibilities; expected rates of return (i.e., risk-adjusted; benchmarked to comparable investments); investment characteristics (e.g., liquidity, structure, size) and contribution to investor 
portfolio; material business risks (e.g., supply chain reliability; stranded assets); cost control (e.g., product losses; insurance); legal compliance; and sectoral requirements (e.g., climate risk 
disclosure) (Havemann et al., 2020).

Production companies or cooperatives

 

– Supply chain transactions (e.g., trade finance)

 

– Sustainable agricultural infrastructure (e.g., capital investment in storage or processing facilities to reduce exposure to climate risks)

 

– Developing or accessing advisory services (weather data; agronomic information) (Orchard, 2019)

 

– Risk management (e.g., insurance/reinsurance; budget reserves)

Financial investors and intermediaries 
(e.g., banks, asset managers, 
venture capital; non-bank financial 
institutions)

 

– Ownership shares in established companies (i.e., private equity) or large publicly traded companies (i.e., listed equities)

 

– Debt issuance (e.g., working capital; catastrophe bonds; emergency loans)

 

– Real estate investment

 

– Financial derivatives

 

– Technological research and development

 

– (Impact investors) Bespoke non-financial sustainability objectives (e.g., fairtrade products; financial inclusion) (Havemann et al., 2020)

Public sector

: Encompassing nearly commercial (e.g., specialised commodity boards; bond issuances), partially subsidised (e.g., low-interest loans) and fully subsidised (e.g., R&D; grants) 

investments. Major considerations include avoiding negative impacts to citizens (e.g., food price spikes) and specific constituencies (e.g., catastrophic losses to producers) and maintaining/
enhancing public revenues (i.e., taxes from economic activity in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry).

Government agencies and multilateral 
institutions

 

– Strengthen enabling environments for sustainable production and ecosystem protection (e.g., price transparency; information exchange; 

international coordination)

 

– Support demonstration projects for sustainable land and resource management (e.g., grants)

 

– Disaster risk reduction (e.g., national disaster funds; social protection programmes; contingent credit lines; sovereign/sub-sovereign insurance 

(Global Commission on Adaptation, 2019)

 

– Increase resilience through early-warning systems, infrastructure, and capacity building (e.g., climate change adaptation funds)

 

– Increase revenues for adaptation activities (e.g., income/luxury taxes)

 

– Reduce production risks (e.g., agricultural subsidies)

 

– Promote advanced technology implementation (e.g., tax incentives)

 

– Coordinate and align donor funding with national priorities (e.g., multi-donor national climate change funds)

 

– Incentivise and de-risk commercial investments (e.g., interest rate reduction programmes, structured financing, guarantee funds) 

(Woodard et al., 2019)

Methods to strengthen adaptation finance include updating 
regulations and policies to support adaptation finance instruments 
(e.g., climate accounting standards), requiring climate-risk disclosure, 
improved information-sharing among public and private sector actors 
and devolving funding to local actors (

medium confidence

) (Global 

Commission on Adaptation, 2019; Millan et al., 2019).

5.14.3  Climate Resilient Development Pathways

Climate resilient development pathways (CRDPs) introduced in AR5 
(Denton, 2014) can briefly be described as ‘development trajectories 
that integrate adaptation and mitigation to realise the goal of 
sustainable development’ (see IPCC (2019a)) for a more extensive 
definition). Several characteristics were proposed in SR1.5 by which 
such CRDPs could be identified: consistency with principles of 
sustainable development; ability to deliver poverty reduction; ability 
to enhance social, gender, racial, ethnic and intergenerational equity; 
ability to deliver resilience to climate change and other shocks and 
stresses; and ability to protect species, biodiversity and ecosystem 
goods and services. There is an increasing literature, assessed in SR1.5, 
on adaptation pathways approaches, generally for specific regions, 
locations and subsectors.

Two recent examples directly related to agriculture and food are the

  Major types of financial instruments suitable to adaptation finance in agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry sectors (adapted from Havemann et al., 2020).

Financial instrument

Description

Equity

: Ownership stake in a company (e.g., agricultural technology company; processing company) or collective investment vehicle (e.g., agriculture fund; Timber Investment Management 

Organization; commodity index fund) providing returns (via dividends and/or sale of equity shares) corresponding to business-related risk (e.g., higher return for higher risk and/or lower 
liquidity)

Listed equities

Ownership of shares in a company listed in a public market

Private equity

Ownership of shares in a company or other assets

Junior or risk-absorbing equity

Ownership of lower-tier shares in a company (e.g., common stock) or collective investment vehicle (e.g., first-loss tranche)

Debt

: Capital provided directly or indirectly (via banks or other third-party institutions) to users with defined repayment terms (i.e., timeframe, interest rate); more likely to deliver adaptation 

benefits when coupled with capacity building (e.g., technical assistance, education, analytics) (Woodard et al., 2019)

Loan, bond, note, credit line

Direct or indirect provision of capital (e.g., operating loans; dedicated credit line for agricultural trade); concessionary loans may allow for 
below-market interest rates

Soft loan

Direct interest-free loan (e.g., funds provided in advance of good/service delivery)

Emergency loan

Lending in response to climate risks or impacts with repayment terms (e.g., return period) that consider necessary relief, recovery and 
reconstruction

Catastrophe bond

Risk transfer instrument in which insurers or reinsurers provide high interest payments to investors in exchange for a payout (and repayment 
deferment or forgiveness) activated by specific events (e.g., extreme weather)

Impact bond

Subsidised investment providing capital upfront or based on defined outcomes

Subordinated loan

Concessionary capital with a junior position (i.e., accepting higher risk of non-repayment and / or lower rate of return on investment) relative to 
other investors

Securitised investments

Aggregation of equity or debt to offer marketable securities to a wider pool of investors with different risk–return appetites

Guarantees

: Commercial and concessionary guarantees that provide compensation for losses due to specified risks (e.g., political risk, performance risk); more likely to deliver adaptation 

benefits when linked to robust underwriting standards and verification protocols (Woodard et al., 2019)

Credit guarantee

Compensation for specified losses incurred by agricultural lenders

Payment, performance, surety bonds

De-risking mechanism for transactions between providers and buyers of goods/services; may be used in trade finance and other forms of 
intermediation

Insurance

: Policies and other financial instruments that provide compensation for losses based on defined terms and conditions.

Production insurance

Compensation for specified losses related to production (e.g., insurance indexed to specific weather events) or supply chains (e.g., shipping 
insurance)

Market and price insurance

Compensation for specified market-related losses (e.g., price or currency fluctuation)

Grants

: Concessionary funding provided by public or philanthropic entities to support climate adaptation costs or outcomes (no expectation of repayment)

Direct support

Funding for provision of goods (e.g., fertilizer, seeds, nursery stock) or services (e.g., technical assistance, product storage) to producers, local 
companies or intermediaries (e.g., for agronomic or business management expertise); can reduce credit risk when part of blended finance 
arrangements

Performance-based grants

Grants or other concessionary funding contingent on achievement of defined adaptation outcomes (with possible third-party verification 
requirement); may support development and testing of new approaches (i.e., design funding; challenges/prizes)

Governmental instruments

Policy incentives

Public policies designed to stimulate adaptation action among targeted groups (e.g., producers, consumers, agri-businesses, financiers) including 
direct or indirect subsidies (e.g., producer payments, tax breaks, health insurance), procurement policies (e.g., low carbon and sustainability criteria; 
nutrition-sensitive school feeding programmes) and other fiscal measures (e.g., infrastructure development; funding R&D in climate-resilient 
practices or technologies)

 

(Shukla et al., 2019)

Development aid

International or domestic programmes that directly or indirectly fund adaptation actions including financial transfers (e.g., producer support or 
anti-poverty programmes) and subsidised credit (

medium confidence

) (Shukla et al., 2019)

Planning grants

Financial support to governments for adaptation planning (e.g., via readiness programmes)

Other instruments

Fintech

Data analytics and risk analysis models used to better assess borrowers’ repayment risk (e.g., due to crop failure) and reduce transaction costs 
(e.g., streamlined lending processes); applications may include financial inclusion (e.g., micro-financing; lending to small- and mid-size operators), 
alternative repayment programmes (e.g., for larger capital borrowing), insurance (e.g., more granular risk assessment) or digital strategies (e.g., 
crowdfunding, smallholder credit) (Agyekumhene et al., 2018)

Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES)

Funds delivered to land and resource managers in exchange for compliance with specified sustainability practices or environmental outcomes; 
PES depends on willing payers (i.e., direct and indirect beneficiaries of ecosystem services such as governments, companies, conservation groups, 
philanthropies)

quality changes under an IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios 
(SRES) A2 emissions scenario (Läderach et al., 2017); and development 
of participatory pathways to mid-century under RCPs 4.5 and 8.5 
support regional adaptation planning in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand 
for agricultural producers and rural communities (Cradock-Henry et al., 
2020). CRDPs mentioned in SROCC include shifting from providing 
coastal defences to adapting to seawater inundation in coastal regions 
(Renaud et al., 2015) and retreating coastal megacities (Solecki et al., 
2017). Pathway frameworks continue to be used to frame the broad-
scale challenges of development and climate change, thereby linking 
different types of food system actor with different responses through 
time using a variety of approaches, top-down and participatory, 
qualitative and quantitative (Butler et  al., 2016; Antle et  al., 2017; 
Thornton and Comberti, 2017; Collste et al., 2019; Loboguerrero et al., 
2020; Stringer et al., 2020).

While there is consensus that the concept of CRDPs is useful, there 
are major challenges in identifying, operationalising, monitoring and 
evaluating them (Lin et al., 2017; Bloemen et al., 2018). Management 
approaches seldom integrate across spatio-temporal scales and may be 
unable to address unidirectional change and extreme events (Holsman 
et  al., 2019). The socioeconomic complexities and implications of 
pursuing integrated outcomes make it difficult to evaluate synergies 
and trade-offs associated with different actions in local contexts 
through time (Thornton and Comberti, 2017; Ellis and Tschakert, 2019; 
Holsman et  al., 2019; Orchard, 2019). Case studies by Lo (2019) of 
transformation in a fishing town in south China and by Gajjar (2019) 
on undesirable path dependencies in development trajectories in urban 
and rural India show that overall adaptive capacity of populations 
may be decreased though politicisation and entrenchment of existing 
inequities, severely limiting the possibilities for future adaptation. A 
further challenge of implementation is timely detection of tipping 
points and abrupt exposure events in both climate and environmental 
systems (Lenton et al., 2019; Trisos et al., 2020), which may alter the 
efficacy of current and planned adaptation actions, necessitating a 
switch to other, more transformational strategies; in such cases, re-
energising food system actors’ commitment to adaptation action may 
well be needed (Bloemen et al., 2018).

Integrated modelling of CRDPs will increasingly be needed to throw 
light on key SDG synergies and trade-offs into the future (Bleischwitz 
et al., 2018). In investigating possible future pressures on land under 
the SSPs, Doelman (2018) projected that the largest changes take place 
in sub-Saharan Africa in SSP3 and SSP4, mostly because of continued 
high population growth coupled with (projected) sluggish increases 
in agricultural efficiency, among other things, leading to expansion of 
agricultural land for crop and livestock production and reduced food 
security. Lassaletta (2019) evaluated global pig production in the SSPs 
and concluded that the future sustainability of pig systems will depend 
on production efficiency improvements coupled with other factors such 
as use of alternative feed sources and use of slurries on cropland. Such 
studies will be increasingly important for quantifying the potential 
trade-offs and synergies between different SDGs, to guide adaptation 
(and mitigation) action along CRDPs in the future. The current lack 
of widely accepted and simple-to-measure indicators for tracking 
progress in adaptation is a significant hurdle to overcome. There is a 
large literature on the desirable characteristics of future global food 

systems, but much less on robust analysis that explicitly addresses 
and evaluates the pathways towards these desired futures. Gerten 
(2020) estimates that 10.2 billion people can be supported within key 
planetary boundaries via spatially redistributed cropland and dietary 
changes, among other actions. There are few, if any, analyses for 
detailing the plausible pathways to move towards such a future in 
ways that are socially, economically and environmentally acceptable 
through time; whether such pathways could indeed be made climate-
resilient is unknown. Appropriate monitoring and rapid feedback to 
food system actors on what is working and why will be critical to 
the successful operationalisation of adaptation actions within CRDPs 
(Bosomworth and Gaillard, 2019).

Summary Statement

The growing demand for biomass offers both opportunities and challenges to mitigate and adapt to climate change and 
natural resource constraints (high confidence). Increased technology innovation, stakeholder integration and transparent 
governance structures and procedures at local to global scales are key to successful bioeconomy deployment maximising 
benefits and managing trade-offs (high confidence).

Limited global land and biomass resources accompanied by growing demands for food, feed, fibre and fuels, together with prospects for a 
paradigm shift towards phasing out fossil fuels, set the frame for potentially fierce competition for land

5

and biomass to meet burgeoning 

demands even as climate change increasingly limits natural resource potentials (

high confidence

).

Sustainable agriculture and forestry, technology innovation in bio-based production within a circular economy and international 
cooperation and governance of global trade in products to reflect and disincentivise their environmental and social externalities can 
provide mitigation and adaptation via bioeconomy development that responds to the needs and perspectives of multiple stakeholders to 
achieve outcomes that maximise synergies while limiting trade-offs (

high confidence

).

Background

There is 

high confidence

 that climate change, population growth and changes in per capita consumption will increase pressures on 

managed as well as natural and semi-natural ecosystems, exacerbating existing risks to livelihoods, biodiversity, human and ecosystem 
health, infrastructure and food systems (Conijn et al., 2018; IPCC, 2018; IPCC, 2019b; Lade et al., 2020). At the same time, many global 
mitigation scenarios presented in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports rely on large greenhouse gas 
(GHG) emissions reduction in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector and concurrent deployment of reforestation/
afforestation and biomass use in a multitude of applications (Rogelj et al., 2018; AR6 WGIII Chapter 3 and Chapter 7; Canadell et al., 
2021; Lee et al., 2021)

Given the finite availability of natural resources, there are invariably trade-offs that complicate land-based mitigation unless land 
productivity can be enhanced without undermining ecosystem services (e.g., Obersteiner et  al., 2016; Campbell et  al., 2017; Caron 
et al., 2018; Conijn et al., 2018; Heck et al., 2018; WRI, 2018; Smith et al., 2019c). Management intensities can often be adapted to local 
conditions with consideration of other functions and ecosystem services, but at a global scale the challenge remains to avoid further 
deforestation and degradation of intact ecosystems, in particular of biodiversity-rich systems (Cross-Chapter Box on NBS-NATURAL in 
Chapter 2), while meeting the growing demands. Further, increased land use competition can affect food prices and impact food security 
and livelihoods (To and Grafton, 2015; Chakravorty et al., 2017), with possible knock-on effects related to civil unrest (Abbott et al., 2017; 
D’Odorico et al., 2018).

Developing New Bio-Based Solutions while Mitigating Overall Biomass Demand Growth

Many existing bio-based products have significant mitigation potential. Increased use of wood in buildings can reduce GHG emissions 
from cement and steel production while providing carbon storage (Churkina et al., 2020). Substitution of fossil fuels with biomass in 
manufacture of cement and steel can reduce GHG emissions where these materials are difficult to replace. Dispatchable power based on 
biomass can provide power stability and quality as the contribution from solar and wind power increases (WGIII Chapter 6), and biofuels 
can contribute to reducing fossil fuel emissions in the transport and industry sectors (WGIII Chapter 10 and Chapter 11). The use of bio-
based plastics, chemicals and packaging could be increased, and biorefineries can achieve high resource-use efficiency in converting 
biomass into food, feed, fuels and other bio-based products (Aristizábal-Marulanda and Cardona Alzate, 2019; Schmidt et al., 2019). There 
is also scope for substituting existing bio-based products with more benign products. For example, cellulose-based textiles can replace 
cotton, which requires large amounts of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides to ensure high yields.

For lack of space, the focus is on land only, although the bioeconomy also includes sea-related bioresources.

Chapter 5

While increasing and diversified use of biomass can reduce the need for fossil fuels and other GHG-intensive products, unfavourable 
GHG balances may limit the mitigation value. Growth in biomass use may in the longer term also be constrained by the need to protect 
biodiversity and ecosystems’ capacity to support essential ecosystem services. Biomass use may also be constrained by water scarcity and 
other resource scarcities and/or challenges related to public perception and acceptance due to impacts caused by biomass production 
and use. Energy conservation and efficiency measures and deployment of technologies and systems that do not rely on carbon, such 
as carbon-free electricity supporting, inter alia, electrification of transport as well as industry processes and residential heating (IPCC, 
2018; UNEP, 2019), can constrain the growth in biomass demand when countries seek to phase out fossil fuels and other GHG-intensive 
products while providing an acceptable standard of living. Nevertheless, demand for bio-based products may become high where full 
decoupling from carbon is difficult to achieve (e.g., aviation, bio-based plastics, and chemicals) or where carbon storage is an associated 
benefit (e.g., wood buildings, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar for soil amendments), leading to challenging 
trade-offs (e.g., food security, biodiversity) that need to be managed in environmentally sustainable and socially just ways.

Changes on the demand side as well as improvements in resource-use efficiencies within the global food and other bio-based systems 
can also reduce pressures on the remaining land resources. For example, dietary changes towards more plant-based food (where 
appropriate) and reduced food waste can provide climate change mitigation along with health benefits ( WGIII Chapter 7.4 and 12.4, 
Willett et al., 2019) and other co-benefits with regard to food security, adaptation and land use (Mbow et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2019c; 
WGII Chapter 5). Advancements in the provision of novel food and feed sources (e.g., cultured meat, insects, grass-based protein feed and 
cellular agriculture) can also limit the pressures on finite natural resources (WGIII Chapter 12.4, Parodi et al., 2018; Zabaniotou, 2018).

Box Cross-Working Group Box BIOECONOMY.1: Circular Bioeconomy

Circular economy approaches (WGIII-12.6) are commonly depicted by two cycles, where the biological cycle focuses on regeneration in 
the biosphere and the technical cycle focuses on reuse, refurbishment and recycling to maintain value and maximise material recovery 
(Mayer et al., 2019a). Biogenic carbon flows and resources are part of the biological carbon cycle, but carbon-based products can be 
included in, and affect, both the biological and the technical carbon cycles (Kirchherr et al., 2017; Winans et al., 2017; Velenturf et al., 
2019). The integration of circular economy and bioeconomy principles has been discussed in relation to organic waste management 
(Teigiserova et al., 2020), societal transition and policy development (Directorate-General for Research Innovation, 2018; Bugge et al., 
2019) as well as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery strategies (Palahi et al., 2020). To maintain the natural resource base, 
circular bioeconomy emphasises sustainable land use and the return of biomass and nutrients to the biosphere when it leaves the 
technical cycle.

Biomass scarcity is an argument for adopting circular economy principles for the management of biomass as for non-renewable 
resources. This includes waste avoidance, product reuse and material recycling, which keep down resource use while maintaining product 
and material value. However, reuse and recycling is not always feasible, such as when biofuels are used for transport and bio-based 
biodegradable chemicals are used to reduce ecological impacts where losses to the environment are unavoidable. A balanced approach 
to management of biomass resources could take departure in the carbon cycle from a value-preservation perspective and the possible 
routes that can be taken for biomass and carbon, considering a carbon budget defined by the Paris Agreement, principles for sustainable 
land use and natural ecosystem protection.

Land Use Opportunities and Challenges in the Bioeconomy

Analyses of synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sectors show that outcomes 
depend on context, design and implementation, so actions have to be tailored to the specific conditions to minimise adverse effects 
(Kongsager, 2018). This is supported in literature analysing the nexus between land, water, energy and food in the context of climate 
change, which consistently concludes that addressing these different domains together rather than in isolation would enhance synergies 
and reduce trade-offs (Obersteiner et al., 2016; D’Odorico et al., 2018; Soto Golcher and Visseren-Hamakers, 2018; Froehse and Schilling, 
2019; Momblanch et al., 2019).

Nature-based solutions addressing climate change can provide opportunities for sustainable livelihoods as well as multiple ecosystem 
services, such as flood risk management through floodplain restoration, saltmarshes, mangroves or peat renaturation (Cross-Chapter 
Box NATURAL in Chapter 2; UNEP, 2021). Climate-smart agriculture can increase productivity while enhancing resilience and reducing 
GHG emissions inherent to production (Lipper et al., 2014; Singh and Chudasama, 2021). Similarly, climate-smart forestry considers the 
whole value chain and integrates climate objectives into forest sector management through multiple measures (from strict reserves

to more intensively managed forests) providing mitigation and adaptation benefits (Nabuurs et al., 2018; Verkerk et al., 2020; WGIII 
Section 7.3)

Agroecological approaches can be integrated into a wide range of land management practices to support a sustainable bioeconomy and 
address equity considerations (HLPE, 2019). Relevant land use practices, such as agroforestry, intercropping, organic amendments, cover 
crops and rotational grazing, can provide mitigation and support adaption to climate change via food security, livelihoods, biodiversity 
and health co-benefits (Ponisio et al., 2015; Garibaldi et al., 2016; D’Annolfo et al., 2017; Bezner Kerr et al., 2019; Clark et al., 2019; 
Córdova et al., 2019; HLPE, 2019; Mbow et al., 2019; Renard and Tilman, 2019; Sinclair et al., 2019; Bharucha et al., 2020; Bezner Kerr 
et  al., 2021;WGII Cross-Chapter Box  NATURAL in Chapter 2). Strategic integration of appropriate biomass production systems into 
agricultural landscapes can provide biomass for bioenergy and other bio-based products while providing co-benefits such as enhanced 
landscape diversity, habitat quality, retention of nutrients and sediment, erosion control, climate regulation, flood regulation, pollination 
and biological pest and disease control (WGIII Chapter12 Box on UNCCD-LDN, Christen and Dalgaard, 2013; Asbjornsen et al., 2014; 
Holland et al., 2015; Ssegane et al., 2015; Dauber and Miyake, 2016; Milner et al., 2016; Ssegane and Negri, 2016; Styles et al., 2016;

Englund et al., 2020). Such approaches can help limit environmental impacts from intensive agriculture while maintaining or increasing 
land productivity and biomass output.

Intensive agriculture vs. agroecological agriculture

fields and no semi-natural habitats.

 Right: Agroecological agriculture, supplying a range of ecosystem services, relying on biodiversity and crop and animal diversity 

instead of external inputs, and integrating plant and animal production, with smaller fields and presence of semi-natural habitats. Credit: Jacques Baudry (left); Valérie 
Viaud (right), published in van der Werf et al. (2020).

Transitions from conventional to new biomass production and conversion systems include challenges related to cross-sector integration 
and limited experience with new crops and land use practices, including needs for specialised equipment (WGII Chapter 5.10, Thornton 
and Herrero, 2015; HLPE, 2019). Introduction of agroecological approaches and integrated biomass/food crop production can result in 
lower food crop yields per hectare, particularly during transition phases, potentially causing indirect land use change, but can also support 
higher and more stable yields, reduce costs, and increase profitability under climate change (Muller et al., 2017; Seufert and Ramakutty, 
2017; Barbieri et  al., 2019; HLPE, 2019; Sinclair et  al., 2019; Smith et  al., 2019c; Smith et  al., 2020a). Crop diversification, organic 
amendments and biological pest control (HLPE, 2019) can reduce input costs and risks of occupational pesticide exposure and food 
and water contamination (Gonzalez-Alzaga et al., 2014; European Food Safety Authority Panel on Plant Protection Products and their 
Residues et al., 2017; Mie et al., 2017), reduce farmers’ vulnerability to climate change (e.g., droughts and spread of pests and diseases 
affecting plant and animal health; Delcour et al., 2015; FAO, 2020a) and enhance provisioning and sustaining ecosystem services, such as 
pollination (D’Annolfo et al., 2017; Sinclair et al., 2019).

Barriers towards wider implementation include absence of policies that compensate landowners for providing enhanced ecosystem 
services and other environmental benefits, which can help overcome short-term losses during the transition from conventional practices 
before longer-term benefits can accrue. Other barriers include limited access to markets, knowledge gaps, financial, technological or

labour constraints, lack of extension support and insecure land tenure (Jacobi et al., 2017; Kongsager, 2017; Hernández-Morcillo et al., 
2018; Iiyama et  al., 2018; HLPE, 2019). Regional-level agroecology transitions may be facilitated by co-learning platforms, farmer 
networks, private sector, civil society groups, regional and local administration, and other incentive structures (e.g., price premiums, 
access to credit, regulation) (Coe et al., 2014; Pérez-Marin et al., 2017; Mier y Terán Giménez Cacho et al., 2018; HLPE, 2019; Valencia 
et al., 2019; SAPEA, 2020). With the right incentives, improvements can be made with regard to profitability, making alternatives more 
attractive to landowners.

Governing the Solution Space

Literature analysing the synergies and trade-offs between competing demands for land suggest that solutions are highly contextualised 
in terms of their environmental, socioeconomic and governance-related characteristics, making it difficult to devise generic solutions 
(Haasnoot et al., 2020). Aspects of spatial and temporal scale can further enhance the complexity, for instance where transboundary 
effects across jurisdictions or upstream–downstream characteristics need to be considered, or where climate change trajectories might 
alter relevant biogeophysical dynamics (Postigo and Young, 2021). Nonetheless, there is broad agreement that taking the needs and 
perspectives of multiple stakeholders into account in a transparent process during negotiations improves the chances of achieving 
outcomes that maximise synergies while limiting trade-offs (Ariti et al., 2018; Metternicht, 2018; Favretto et al., 2020; Kopáček, 2021; 
Muscat et  al., 2021). Yet differences in agency and power between stakeholders or anticipated changes in access to or control of 
resources can undermine negotiation results even if there is a common understanding of the overarching benefits of more integrated 
environmental agreements and the need for greater coordination and cooperation to avoid longer-term losses to all (Aarts and Leeuwis, 
2010; Weitz et al., 2017). There is also the risk that strong local participatory processes can become disconnected from broader national 
plans, and thus fail to support the achievement of national targets. Thus, connection between levels is needed to ensure that ambition for 
transformative change is not derailed at the local level (Aarts and Leeuwis, 2010; Postigo and Young, 2021).

Decisions on land uses between biomass production for food, feed, fibre or fuel, as well as nature conservation or restoration and other 
uses (e.g., mining, urban infrastructure), depend on differences in perspectives and values. Because the availability of land for diverse 
biomass uses is invariably limited, setting priorities for land use allocations therefore first depends on making the perspectives underlying 
what is considered as ‘high-value’ explicit (Fischer et al., 2007; Garnett et al., 2015; de Boer and van Ittersum, 2018; Muscat et al., 2020). 
Decisions can then be made transparently based on societal norms, needs and the available resource base. Prioritisation of land use for 
the common good therefore requires societal consensus-building embedded in the socioeconomic and cultural fabric of regions, societies 
and communities. Integration of local decision making with national planning ensures local actions complement national development 
objectives.

International trade in the global economy today provides important opportunities to connect producers and consumers, effectively 
buffering price volatilities and potentially offering producers in low-income countries access to global markets, which can be seen as an 
effective adaptation measure (Baldos and Hertel, 2015; Costinot et al., 2016; Hertel and Baldos, 2016; Gouel and Laborde, 2021; WGII 
Chapter 5.11).. But there is also clear evidence that international trade and the global economy can enhance price volatility, lead to food 
price spikes and affect food security due to climate and other shocks, as seen recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic (WGII Chapter 5.12, 
Cottrell et al., 2019; WFP-FSIN, 2020; Verschuur et al., 2021). The continued strong demand for food and other bio-based products, mainly 
from high- and middle-income countries, therefore, requires better cooperation between nations and global governance of trade to more 
accurately reflect and disincentivise their environmental and social externalities. Trade in agricultural and extractive products driving land 
use change in tropical forest and savanna biomes is of major concern because of the biodiversity impacts and GHG emissions incurred in 
their provision (WGII Cross-Chapter Paper 7, Hosonuma et al., 2012; Forest Trends, 2014; Henders et al., 2015; Curtis et al., 2018; Pendrill 
et al., 2019; Seymour and Harris, 2019; Kissinger et al., 2021).

In summary, there is significant scope for optimising use of land resources to produce more biomass while reducing adverse effects (

high 

confidence

). Context-specific prioritisation, technology innovation in bio-based production, integrative policies, coordinated institutions 

and improved governance mechanisms to enhance synergies and minimise trade-offs can mitigate the pressure on managed as well as 
natural and semi-natural ecosystems (

medium confidence

). Yet, energy conservation and efficiency measures, and deployment of 

technologies and systems that do not rely on carbon-based energy and materials, are essential for mitigating biomass demand growth as 
countries pursue ambitious climate goals (

high confidence

).

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 5.1: How is climate change (already) affecting people’s ability to have enough nutritious food?

Climate change has already made feeding the world’s people more difficult. Climate-related hazards have become more common, disrupting 
the supply of crops, meat and fish. Rapid changes in weather patterns have put financial strain on producers, while also raising prices and 
limiting the choices and quality of produce available to consumers.

Most of our food comes from crops, livestock, aquaculture and fisheries. Global food supply increased dramatically 
in the last century, but ongoing climate change has begun to slow that growth, reducing the gains that would have 
been expected without climate change. Regionally, negative effects are apparent in regions closer to the equator, 
with some positive effects further north and south.

Climate impacts are also negatively affecting the quality of produce, from changes in micronutrient content to 
texture, colour and taste changes that reduce marketability. With warmer and more humid condition, many food 
pests thrive, food decays more quickly, and food contains more toxic compounds produced by fungi and bacteria.

Warming of the oceans has reduced potential fish catch. The increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has led to 
ocean acidification, which is already impacting the production of farmed fish and shellfish. Changes in local climate 
have forced producers to shift to new locations, changing what they grow or where they work (e.g., pole-ward 
shifting fishing grounds).

Climate hazards have increased over the past 50  years and are the major cause of sudden losses of production 
(food production shocks). Food shocks occur following droughts, heatwaves, floods, storms and outbreaks of 
climate-related pests and combine to cause multiplying impacts. Climate hazards sometimes disrupt food storage 
and transport, which impairs the food supply.

All of these negative impacts can lead to increased food prices, and reduced income for producers and retailers as 
there are fewer products to sell. Together, these impacts threaten to reduce the supply of varied, nutrient-rich foods 
to poor populations that already suffer ill health.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 5.2: How will climate change impact food availability by mid and late century and who will suffer most?

Climate change impacts will worsen over time, with the period after mid-century seeing more rapid growth in negative impact than in the 
early part of this century. The impacts will be global, but people with fewer resources, and those who live in regions where impacts will worsen 
more rapidly, will be hurt the most.

Climate change impacts will worsen over time, but the extent depends on how rapidly greenhouse-gas emissions 
grow. If the current rate of emissions continues, the impacts will worsen, especially after mid-century, with rapid 
growth in the number and severity of extreme weather events. Yields of plants, animals and aquaculture will 
decline in most places, and marine and inland fisheries will suffer. Food production in some regions will become 
impossible, either because the crops or livestock there cannot survive in the new climatic conditions, or it is too hot 
and humid for farm workers to be in the fields.

After harvest, agricultural production passes through the agricultural value chain, supplying animal feeds, industrial 
uses and international markets, with some stored for use in the future. Each of these transitions will be affected 
by climate change. Food storage facilities will face more challenges in dealing with spoilage. Transportation of 
perishable fruits, vegetables and meats will become costlier to maintain quality. Households and food services will 
need to spend more on food preservation.

Low-income countries and poor people are at higher risk, as they have limited social safety nets and suffer more 
from rising food prices and an unstable food supply. But large famers will also be hurt. Rural communities, especially 
smallholder farmers, pastoralists and fishers, are extremely vulnerable because their livelihoods mainly depend on 
their production. The urban poor will have to spend more on food.

A flood, for example, may force low-income families out of their homes, affect their employment and reduce their 
access to food supplies, with prices often rising after natural disasters. Families will have less access to safe water 
supplies, and this combination of lower food supplies, uncertain employment, displacement from home and rising 
food costs will increase the number of children who are undernourished.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 5.3: Land is going to be an important resource for mitigating climate change: how is the increasing 
competition for land threatening global food security and who will be affected the most?

Climate change will affect food production. Meeting future food needs requires greater land shares unless we change what we eat and how 
we grow food. Additionally, large-scale land projects that aim to mitigate climate change will increase land competition. Less land will then 
be available for food production, increasing food insecurity. People at greater risk from land competition are smallholder farmers, Indigenous 
Peoples and low-income groups.

Why is land important?

Land is a limited resource on which humans and ecosystems depend on to grow plants, which capture carbon 
dioxide and release oxygen, and provide food, timber and other products. We also have cultural, recreational and 
spiritual connections to land.

Why will climate change affect land use?

Climate change results in more frequent heatwaves, extreme rainfall, drought and rising sea levels, which negatively 
affect crop yields. More land is thus needed to grow crops, increasing land competition with other food systems 
that use crops to feed their animals (e.g., livestock, fish). Where land will be flooded, humans cannot grow crops, 
but food production could be adapted to grow seafood instead. Extensive land allocations aiming at reducing 
carbon emissions, such as afforestation, reduce land availability for food. Unless carefully managed, competition 
for land will increase food prices and food security.

Solutions to reduce land competition and protect food security

Sustainable land management allows land to remain productive and support key functions. Other land practices 
include growing cover crops to improve soil quality. Governments can provide incentives to producers to grow 
alternative foods and use sustainable practices. Making sure that vulnerable groups (e.g., low-income communities, 
Indigenous people and small-scale producers) strengthen land tenure rights will help protect food security.

Food by-products used as alternative food sources and other products reduce waste and increase sustainability. 
Dietary changes are another important solution. People that eat high amounts of meat or unhealthy foods could 
reduce consumption of these foods and have more diverse diets. These dietary changes will benefit their health and 
reduce pressure on land. Regulated labelling, education and other policies which encourage healthy diets can 
support these shifts.

Box FAQ 5.3 (continued)

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 5.4: What are effective adaptation strategies for improving food security in a warming world?

A variety of adaptation options exist to improve food security in a warming world. Examples of adaptation for crop production include crop 
management and livelihood diversification. For livestock-based systems, an example is matching number of animals with the production 
capacity of pastures. For fisheries, eliminating overfishing is an effective adaptation practice. For mixed cropping and nature-based systems, 
an appropriate adaptation is agroforestry.

Adaptation strategies to enhance food security vary from farm-level interventions to national policies and 
international agreements. They cover the following dimensions of food security: availability, access, utilisation 
(food quality and safety) and stability.

For the production of crops, adaptation strategies include field and farm-level options such as crop management, 
livelihood diversification and social protection such as crop insurance. The most common field management options 
are changes in planting schedules, crop varieties, fertilizers and irrigation. For example, farmers can shift their 
planting schedules in response to the early or late onset of the rainy season. Moreover, there are new crop insurance 
schemes that are based on changes in weather patterns.

For livestock-based systems, adaptation options include matching the number of animals with the production 
capacity of pastures; adjusting water management based on seasonal and spatial patterns of forage production; 
managing animal diet; more effective use of fodder, rotational grazing; fire management to control woody 
thickening of grass; using more suitable livestock breeds or species; migratory pastoralist activities; and activities to 
monitor and manage the spread of pests, weeds and diseases.

For ocean and inland fisheries, adaptation options are primarily concentrated in the socioeconomic dimension and 
governance and management. In general, eliminating overfishing could help rebuild fish stocks, reduce ecosystem 
impacts, and increase fishing’s adaptive capacity. Aquaculture is often viewed as an adaptation option for fisheries 
declines. However, there are adaptation strategies specific to aquaculture, including proper species selections at the 
operational level, such as the cultivation of brackish species (shrimp, crabs) in inland ponds during dry seasons and 
rice–freshwater finfish in wetter seasons.

For so-called mixed farming systems that produce a combination of crops, livestock, fish and trees, these systems’ 
inherent diversity provides a solid platform for adaptation. A good example is agroforestry, the purposeful 
integration of trees or shrubs with crop or livestock systems, which increases resilience against climate risks.

Overall, nature-based systems or ecosystem-based strategies in food systems, such as agroecology, can be a useful 
adaptation method to increase wild and cultivated food sources. Agroecological practices include agroforestry, 
intercropping, increasing biodiversity, crop and pasture rotation, adding organic amendments, integration of 
livestock into mixed systems, cover crops and minimising toxic and synthetic inputs with adverse health and 
environmental impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 5.5: Climate change is not the only factor threatening global food security: other than climate action, what 
other actions are needed to end hunger and ensure access by all people to nutritious and sufficient food all year 
round?

Our food systems depend on many factors other than climate change, such as food production, water, land, energy and biodiversity. People’s 
access to healthy food can be also be affected by factors such as poverty and physical insecurity. We are all stakeholders in food systems, 
whether as producers or consumers, and we can all contribute to the goal of a food-secure world by the choices we make in our everyday lives.

Today more than 820 million people are hungry, and hunger is on the rise in Africa. Two billion people experience 
moderate or severe food shortages, and another 2 billion suffer from overnutrition, a state of obesity or being 
overweight from unbalanced diets, with related health impacts such as diabetes and heart disease. The changing 
climate is already affecting food production. These effects are worsening, affecting food production from crops, 
livestock, fish and forests in many places where people already do not have enough to eat. Food prices will be 
affected as a result, with increasing risk that poorer people will not be able to buy enough for their families. Food 
quality will increasingly be affected too.

Our ability to grow and consume food depends on many factors other than climate change. There are tight 
connections between food production, water, land, energy and biodiversity, for example. Other factors like gender 
inequity, poverty, political exclusion, remoteness from urban centres and physical insecurity can all affect people’s 
access to healthy food.

Food systems are complicated

 (

Figure FAQ5.5.1). To improve food production, supply and distribution, we need 

to make changes throughout the food supply chain. For instance: improving the way farmers access the inputs 
needed to grow food; improving the ways in which food is grown, with climate and market information, training 
and technical know-how, water-saving and water-harvesting technologies; adopting new low-cost and less 
carbon-intensive storage and processing methods; and creating local networks of producers and processors For 
food consumers, we could consider shifts to different diets that are healthier and make more efficient use of natural 
resources; depending on context, these could involve rebalancing consumption of meat and highly processed 
foods, reducing food loss and waste, and preparing food in more energy-efficient ways. Policymakers can enable 
such actions through appropriate price and trade policies, implementing policies for sustainable and low-emission 
agriculture, providing safety nets where needed, and empowering women, youth and other socially disadvantaged 
groups.

Our food systems need to be robust and sustainable; otherwise we will not be able to manage the additional 
pressures imposed on them by climate change. We can all contribute to this goal.
