“…The majority of the literature was based on studies with a local-to regional-scale focus, though there are also studies examining global impact or using integrated assessment models. Very few studies use systematic methods across sectors taking a global perspective (e.g., Arnell, 2016;Warszawski et al, 2014). One of the challenges faced in Working Group (WG) II has been the need to aggregate and synthesize across multiple studies, sectors and regions, to identify key risks of climate change to be communicated to decisionmakers.…”

Abstract. This paper describes the motivation for the creation of the Vulnerability, Impacts, Adaptation and Climate Services (VIACS) Advisory Board for the Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), its initial activities, and its plans to serve as a bridge between climate change applications experts and climate modelers. The climate change application community comprises researchers and other specialists who use climate information (alongside socioeconomic and other environmental information) to analyze vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation of natural systems and society in relation to past, ongoing, and projected future climate change. Much of this activity is directed toward the co-development of information needed by decisionmakers for managing projected risks. CMIP6 provides a unique opportunity to facilitate a two-way dialog between climate modelers and VIACS experts who are looking to apply CMIP6 results for a wide array of research and climate services objectives. The VIACS Advisory Board convenes leaders of major impact sectors, international programs, and climate services to solicit community feedback that increases the applications relevance of the CMIP6-Endorsed Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs). As an illustration of its potential, the VIACS community provided CMIP6 leadership with a list of prioritized climate model variables and MIP experiments of the greatest interest to the climate model applications community, indicating the applicability and societal relevance of climate model simulation outputs. The VI-ACS Advisory Board also recommended an impacts versionPublished by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union.

“…There are several indications that show the micro- and macro-level climate change impacts on food affordability in the near future, and various climate change scenarios have demonstrated that climate food prices will increase depicting some uncertainties among the results projected through different macro- and micro-economic models ( Nelson et al, 2014 ). Purchasing power of households impacts the affordability of food and ultimately food access which is considerably negatively impacted by climate change ( Arnell, 2016 ; Tol, 2018 ). Most likely, climate change is expected to impact the geography of food production across the globe, like transference in suitable crop and livestock production regions that could cause considerable impacts on food prices, trade, and consequently food access ( Havlík et al, 2014 ; Jones et al, 2017 ).…”

Climatic variability has been acquiring an extensive consideration due to its widespread ability to impact food production and livelihoods. Climate change has the potential to intersperse global approaches in alleviating hunger and undernutrition. It is hypothesized that climate shifts bring substantial negative impacts on food production systems, thereby intimidating food security. Vast developments have been made addressing the global climate change, undernourishment, and hunger for the last few decades, partly due to the increase in food productivity through augmented agricultural managements. However, the growing population has increased the demand for food, putting pressure on food systems. Moreover, the potential climate change impacts are still unclear more obviously at the regional scales. Climate change is expected to boost food insecurity challenges in areas already vulnerable to climate change. Human-induced climate change is expected to impact food quality, quantity, and potentiality to dispense it equitably. Global capabilities to ascertain the food security and nutritional reasonableness facing expeditious shifts in biophysical conditions are likely to be the main factors determining the level of global disease incidence. It can be apprehended that all food security components (mainly food access and utilization) likely be under indirect effect via pledged impacts on ménage, incomes, and damages to health. The corroboration supports the dire need for huge focused investments in mitigation and adaptation measures to have sustainable, climate-smart, eco-friendly, and climate stress resilient food production systems. In this paper, we discussed the foremost pathways of how climate change impacts our food production systems as well as the social, and economic factors that in the mastery of unbiased food distribution. Likewise, we analyze the research gaps and biases about climate change and food security. Climate change is often responsible for food insecurity issues, not focusing on the fact that food production systems have magnified the climate change process. Provided the critical threats to food security, the focus needs to be shifted to an implementation oriented-agenda to potentially cope with current challenges. Therefore, this review seeks to have a more unprejudiced view and thus interpret the fusion association between climate change and food security by imperatively scrutinizing all factors.

Abstract. The Vulnerability, Impacts, Adaptation, and Climate Services (VIACS) Advisory Board was created to provide a strong bridge between climate change applications experts and climate modelers for the Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The climate change application community comprises researchers and other specialists who make use of climate information (alongside other socioeconomic and environmental information) to analyze vulnerability, impacts and adaptation of natural systems and society in relation to past, ongoing and projected future climate change. Much of this activity is directed toward the co-development of information needed by decision-makers for managing projected risks. The initialization of CMIP6 provided a unique opportunity to facilitate a two-way dialogue between CMIP6 climate modelers and VIACS experts who are looking to apply CMIP6 results for a wide array of research and climate services objectives. The VIACS Advisory Board convenes leaders of major impact sectors, international programs, and climate services in order to solicit community feedback that increases applications relevance of the CMIP6 Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs). As an illustration of its potential, the VIACS community provided CMIP6 leadership with a list of prioritized climate model variables and MIP experiments thought to be of greatest importance to the climate model applications community. Climate modelers therefore received useful guidance as to the applicability and societal relevance of their simulation outputs. The VIACS Advisory Board also reflected on contributions to Obs4MIPs and user needs for the gridding and processing of model output. Furthermore, the wide application of climate model outputs by VIACS users provides an error check and ground-truthing of the climate model-based results.
