Our new study is the 1st global analysis of climate change’s impact on staple crops to account for real-world adaptation measures taken by farmers, applying measurements to projections of ag damages. We find: those with the most to lose, lose the most:

We explore the impacts of climate change on global agriculture while accounting for adaptation.
Even if farmers change their agricultural practices in response to higher temperatures, five out of six staple crops will still suffer severe losses due to climate change.

We’re partnering w/ @UNDP to disseminate new climate risk insights to govts around the world, and developing a system to identify communities most at risk of yield declines and where targeted support can be most effective. Learn more: 10/10.

Our team is working to help governments make informed decisions about where to direct adaptation investments, recognizing that many farmers still lack access to even basic agricultural resources, such as better fertilizer and accurate weather data. 9/10

The study is also the first to systematically measure how much farmers adapt to changing conditions. They find that when farmers take measures to adapt, they can offset about ⅓ of climate-related losses in 2100. 7/10.
