All six dimensions of food security and nutrition are affected by climate change and climate variability: availability, access, utilization, stability, agency and sustainability. The impacts of climate change on agricultural production trickle down to additional risks to the food security and nutrition of people who are directly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. 

FAO’s work on Climate Risk Management (CRM) focuses on mainstreaming climate risk considerations into FAO’s programming and on supporting evidence-based interventions and decision-making.
