Improved food security for sustainable development is a key issue articulated at EU and international levels. Today, challenges around food security are numerous, diverse, and interrelated. Due to climate change, extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts and heatwaves are projected to increase in intensity and frequency, adversely affecting poor people already vulnerable to climate change impacts and exacerbating global food insecurity. In this policy brief, we outline six priority areas of urgent action for policy makers and private sector leaders in dryland areas to make the next harvests work for a sustainable future in the era of climate change.
