UN reported that climate change and associated severe weather, droughts, fires, pests, and diseases are threatening the production of food around the world. It is important to address the stress on staple food like rice which has been discussed here in greater detail. Similarly, Coastal environments, its productivity and communities living there are facing global threats from sea-level rise, ocean acidification and ocean warming. The issue also addresses the aspects like coastal rainfall, SLR, biodiversity, blue carbon and other morphological modifications that happen due to these changes.
