According to the latest estimates by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and leading scientific institutions, the greatest climate threats are extreme weather events: more frequent and severe droughts, floods, storms, forest fires, and an increase in the average global temperature. According to forecasts, temperatures could rise by more than 1.5°C by 2030 and by 2-3°C by the end of the century if no decisive action is taken. These changes exacerbate the loss of natural ecosystems, water scarcity, and biodiversity decline.
Agriculture is directly and indirectly affected by climate change. Rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns are causing a decline in the yield of major crops, particularly in regions dependent on rain-fed irrigation. Frequent droughts and floods lead to soil erosion, deterioration of land quality, and an increase in plant diseases and pests. Climate change also affects sowing times, harvest times, and the types of crops that can be grown in certain regions. These factors pose risks to food security and increase the vulnerability of farms.
