| Abstract: |
The availability and production of food is threatened by climate change, with subsequent implications for food security and the global economy. In this study we assessed how the impacts of climate change on agriculture and marine fisheries interact under a range of scenarios. The 'business-as-usual' scenario would lead to ~90% of the global population, particularly in least developed countries, being exposed to declines in the productivity of both sectors, and < 3% of the world would experience productivity gains in both sectors. With strong mitigation equivalent to meeting Paris Agreement commitments, most countries including both the most vulnerable and the largest carbon emitters would show net gains in both agricultural and fisheries sectors. |
