Resumen
Descripción
La Niña is the cooling of sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific, which occurs roughly every three to five years, lasting from six to 24 months. On average, half of El Niño events are followed by a La Niña, which typically affects global climate patterns in the opposite way El Niño does. The intensity of the La Niña climatic phenomenon generally peaks between October and January</p> The aim of this report is to:<ul> <li>(a) consolidate information on La Niña’s potential impacts on agr iculture and food security, specifically in the regions which are now dealing with the consequences of El Niño; and</li> <li>(b) provide early action recommendations in the agriculture sector to either reap the beneficial outcomes of La Niña, or prevent, mitigate and prepare for its negative effects.</li></ul>
