As a consequence, these greatly affect agriculture and food security, water resource, forest and biodiversity, public health and urban settlement and infrastructure. These areas are inter-linked and impacted millions of people. Whereas, in terms of food security it is a slow disaster which increases hunger and famine in the global south countries where hunger is already widespread.
