Climate change has very extreme effects on water resources, agriculture and food production. Changes in the precipitation patterns and a rise in extreme weather events disarray water availability, causing challenges to irrigation and agricultural practices which are dependent on water.
Jan 1, 2024 · The chapter also considers the interaction between water pollution, soil quality, carbon sequestration, and various processes that contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the worsening of climate change.
In this Review, we present a synthesis of how climate change could amplify the environmental impacts of agriculture, from increases in GHG emissions, water use and scarcity, soil erosion, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, pest outbreaks and pesticide use and pollution, and biodiversity loss.
- 4.1 Centrality of Water Security in Climate Change and Climate Resilient Development. Water security is defined as ‘the capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods, human well-being, and socio-economic development, for ensuring protection against water-borne pollution and water-related disasters, and for preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability’ (Grey and Sadoff, 2007).
- 4.2 Observed Changes in the Hydrological Cycle Due to Climate Change. All components of the global water cycle have been modified due to climate change in recent decades (high confidence) (Douville et al., 2021), with hundreds of millions of people now regularly experiencing hydrological conditions that were previously unfamiliar (Sections 4.2.1.1, 4.2.4, 4.2.5).
- 4.3 Observed Sectoral Impacts of Current Hydrological Changes. The intensification of the hydrological cycle due to anthropogenic climate change has multifaceted and severe impacts for cultural, economic, social and political pathways.
- 4.4 Projected Changes in the Hydrological Cycle Due to Climate Change. The terrestrial hydrological cycle is projected to intensify through a higher exchange of water between the land surface and the atmosphere.
