A Sign of Things to Come: Examining Four Major Climate Related Disasters 2010-2013, and their Impacts on Food Security | Sudan Vision Daily
CGIAR Climate's insight:
In this report, case studies are used to examine the effect of specific extreme weather events on vulnerable groups’ food security, working within the same food-systems approach. This approach covers access, availability and utilization, and stability. In addition to seeking a better understanding of the interaction between recent extreme weather and food security for each case study, the report considers the potential influence of climate change and the possible implications for food security if the frequency or magnitude of extreme weather events were to increase.
The report draws on a wide range of academic and other literature. It has been prepared in close consultation with climate scientists, food systems researchers, and scenarios experts from the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI) and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).
