The effects of climate change and our warming planet are already apparent in our daily lives. Heightened average daytime and evening temperatures are impacting the health of outdoor workers and livestock production. In-land flooding and drought are reducing the yield of agricultural crops and threatening global food security. The environmental effects are profound and reflected in the increase in wildland fires and sea-level rise that threatens coastal communities. The seminar will provide an introduction to the factors contributing to climate change and its potential risks to agriculture, global food security and human health. On-going mitigation and adaptation strategies will be described.
