CGIAR Climate's insight:
"On average, we are looking at yield decreases. By the 2030s most of the changes in crop yields are negative," says Andy Challinor, University of Leeds climate researcher, author on the paper, and on the new IPCC report, too. "The second half of the century is when the negative impact in yields becomes more common."

Andy Challinor is Theme Leader for ‘Adaptation pathways under progressive climate change’ under CGIAR Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).
