摘要: Climate impacts on agriculture strongly depend regional and local circumstances. While positive negative effects of climate change global may average almost compensate each other, the uneven spatial distribution is likely to harmfully affect food security in many regions. Food could be severely threatened, if tipping points system are exceeded. Developing countries tropics will face strongest direct impacts, while having lowest level adaptive capacity.
