There are several complex and interrelated challenges and barriers to achieving global food and nutrition security in an increasingly variable climate. Without urgent action for mitigation and adaptation, the world faces more loss and damage and this will further threaten the productive capacity and long-term viability of smallholder farmers.
Updated on 15 December 2015 with key action points generated by participants during the Seminar on Food and Nutrition Security, Agriculture and Climate Change, which took place on 7 December 2015 in Lima, Peru.
