    (CABI, 2024) Singh, Samar; Chhatwal, Himani; Pandey, Ashutosh
    Variations in environmental conditions caused by natural or anthropogenic activities have been exhibiting their impacts on climate change in the form of heat waves, drought, acid rain, floods, and storms throughout the decades. The resulting climate change has perturbated the interrelated threats to the ecosystem. Climate change affects human health, causing mental illness, undernutrition, and cardiovascular, respiratory, and infectious diseases. This outcome is observed in terms of worldwide disturbance in social dynamics such as health status, socioeconomic status, and public health infrastructure.

    Hotspots associated with climate change and food security risks
    (CABI, 2024) Chhatwal, Himani; Singh, Samar; Pandey, Ashutosh
    Climate change is an emerging problem, threatening nations at a global stage. Our knowledge about the impact of climate change on agriculture has grown over the past two decades, but recently, it has been found that its effects are even more deep-rooted. Anthropogenic and natural activities are increasing global temperatures at an alarming rate, affecting crop productivity. Extreme weather events will impact food supply, stability, and access. In the current times of increasing population, when wholesome food production is a global concern, climate change becomes an inevitable issue that no nation can escape from. This chapter highlights the major hotspots of the world which face an immediate threat from climate change. It also covers the perils of changing climate on the food production system and the adaptation strategies to overcome it. The need is to focus on developing immediate solutions to develop a sustainable food supply in the future.
