Droughts, floods and #ExtremeHeat are already affecting the people who produce our food.
Here’s why agriculture and food security must be central to #ClimateAction, helping communities prepare, adapt and protect their livelihoods.
#ClimateFinance 🔥 For every 1°C increase in average global temperatures, we are seeing up to a 6% decrease in yield for the four major crops – maize, rice, soy & wheat – that provide 60% of global calories.

#ExtremeHeat 🔥 Rising temperatures are exceeding thermal safety margin of crops, livestock & aquatic species.
Physiological stress can begin in 25–35°C range during critical stages such as flowering & reproduction.

#ExtremeHeat 🔥 ~15% of fisheries have already been impacted by incidents of #ExtremeHeat.
Marine heatwaves will cause fish to decline and shift to new areas four times faster than long-term warming.

#GlobalFireHub #ExtremeHeat 🔥 #ExtremeHeat threatens the livelihoods of 1.23B people.
Agricultural yield losses can triple when heat combines with other hazards such as drought & are projected to get much worse as the world warms.
More in @fao.org-@wmo-global.bsky.social report 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cd9394en 🔥 #ExtremeHeat can flip forests from carbon sinks to carbon sources.
Forests face the dual risk of reduced growth and a dramatic increase in the number of days with high fire risk.
