Due to climate change, by 2100 we will lose each year in crops the equivalent of what 2 billion people eat

An IIASA study finds that extreme heat and drought are already reducing yields of maize, soybeans, and wheat.

Under a high-emissions scenario, global crop yields could fall by about 35% by 2100.

Annual economic losses could exceed $161 billion, raising concerns about higher food prices and food insecurity.

Countries that depend heavily on agriculture are likely to be hit hardest by climate change impacts.
