Resumen
Descripción
Increases in surface air temperature associated with rising greenhouse gas concentrations threaten plant growth and yield, putting millions of farmers and communities at risk throughout the world. Together with changes in precipitation and increases in extreme events such as flooding and droughts, climate change threatens countries’ food security, and their ability to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. The FAOSTAT Temperature Change domain contains statistics of surface air temperature (0C), disseminated by country and region, with global coverage, over the period 1961–2019, for 190 countries and 37 territories. It shows recent warming trends in all countries in the world, facilitating public understanding of the climate change challenges to agriculture, and helping to identify possible responses necessary to minimize risk to food production.
