A new report has matched future climate change ‘hotspots’ with populations that are already suffering from chronic food problems, mainly Africa and South Asia. However, China and Latin America are also at risk.

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has published “Mapping Hotspots of Climate Change and Food Insecurity in the Global Tropics” in response to a need to focus climate change adaptation efforts on people and places where the potential for harsher growing conditions poses the gravest threat to food production and food security.
