​How does climate change effect food security?

• ​Some places are becoming wetter, while others are becoming drier.

• ​Glaciers and ice caps are melting, causing sea levels to rise.

• ​Extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and cyclones are becoming more serious and frequent.

• ​Droughts mean there is not enough water for successful crop growing, while a drastic increase in the amount of rain falling on a region means crops may be flooded and destroyed.
