lswcapRecently, climate change such as global warming has emerged as an important task. Various studies are being conducted on the impact of climate change on life. In the midst of this, a study has found that by 2100, agricultural productivity will decrease by 25% and fishing productivity by 60% due to climate change.
Temperature drop is an important factor for temperate crops. It is caused by a drop in temperature, such as ripening of plant flowers and fruits, and has the advantage of reducing diseases and diseases. Therefore, if the temperature rises due to global warming, temperate crops will suffer. In addition, due to the rise in seawater temperature, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the sea is decreasing, and deaddon, which cannot be inhabited by most marine life, is increasing in the seas around the world.
Studies conducted by international research teams from France, Australia, Canada and the UK predict how climate change will affect future agriculture and fisheries. The research team estimated what changes would occur to agriculture and fisheries if global warming continued, based on various studies, such as the study on the relationship between climate change and the food system published in 2012, as well as the study on the biodiversity of fisheries and climate change published in 2012.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that greenhouse gas emissions will be high by 2100. According to Scenario RCP 8.5, agricultural productivity will decrease by 5% to 25% compared to 2001, and fishing productivity will decrease by 15% to 60% can do. In the case of agricultural productivity, developing countries such as Africa, Southeast Asia and South America could be severely hit, and in the case of fisheries, Southeast Asia could be more severely hit than South America and Africa.
According to the research team, more than 90% of the world’s population will face food problems if climate change as expected in RCP 8.5 occurs. Related information can be found here.
