Climate projections warn of a 6–14% drop in global food production by 2050, depending on emissions and population growth, putting up to 1.36 billion more people at risk of severe food insecurity. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and humanitarian actors must adapt through climate-informed planning, early warning systems, and resilient local food systems. They face limits like funding shortages, coordination gaps, short-term planning cycles, and climate uncertainties. Systemic reforms—such as sustainable, diverse, and adaptive food systems—are essential. Aligning DRR, climate adaptation, and food system transformation can create mutually reinforcing solutions for long-term resilience.
