Impacts of Climate Change and Population Growth on Food Security in Nigeria

The Impacts of Population Change and Economic Growth on Carbon Emissions in Nigeria

T he main aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of population total, gross domestic product per capita, urbanization rate and energy use on carbon emissions in Nigeria for a period of 1981-2015 using autoregressive distributed lag approach to co-integration (ARDL). The empirical results revealed evidence of a long run relationship among the variables. The generalized ridge ...

Climate Change and Food Security: Health Impacts in Developed Countries

BACKGROUND Anthropogenic climate change will affect global food production, with uncertain consequences for human health in developed countries. OBJECTIVES We investigated the potential impact of climate change on food security (nutrition and food safety) and the implications for human health in developed countries. METHODS Expert input and structured literature searches were conducted and ...

Climate impacts on food security and nutrition

Climate Change and Global Food Systems: Potential Impacts on Food Security and Undernutrition.

Great progress has been made in addressing global undernutrition over the past several decades, in part because of large increases in food production from agricultural expansion and intensification. Food systems, however, face continued increases in demand and growing environmental pressures. Most prominently, human-caused climate change will influence the quality and quantity of food we produc...

Climate change and food security.

Dynamic interactions between and within the biogeophysical and human environments lead to the production, processing, distribution, preparation and consumption of food, resulting in food systems that underpin food security. Food systems encompass food availability (production, distribution and exchange), food access (affordability, allocation and preference) and food utilization (nutritional an...
