This will increase the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action. FAO’s El Niño Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk.22 p.application/pdfFAOCC BY NC SA 3.0 IGOEl Niño: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, August–December 2023Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food securityBrochure, flyer, fact-sheet
