By adopting the sustainable development goals, the world has committed to 
ending hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition by 2030. But 
climate change is already undermining the livelihoods and food security of the 
most vulnerable populations. Ensuring food security and good nutrition in the face 
of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind.
The report 
Climate change and food security: risks and responses
brings together 
evidence from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), updated 
by the latest evidence and scientific findings as well as by results from experience 
on the ground, on the impacts of climate change on food security and nutrition. 
It shows how a cascade of impacts from ecosystems to livelihoods interacts with 
a series of vulnerabilities, undermining food security and nutrition, especially of 
the most vulnerable populations. The report presents ways to adapt, to reduce 
vulnerabilities and to build resilience to climate change. It shows the importance of 
acting now to address climate change, to ensure food security and good nutrition 
for all, now and in the future.
