Regulating Food Insecurity and Climate Change to Attain Sustainable Development

Abstract

The impacts of global climate change are affecting virtually all aspects of human lives and creating food insecurity. Food insecurity is one of the huge threats brought about by climate change. This is affecting the livelihood of the people and producing poverty in different dimensions especially in the developing countries. Undoubtedly, human activities are the major causes of global warming and climate change and as such, there is a need to curb them. It is against this backdrop that this paper argues for strict regulation to contain and curtail climate change by ensuring that humans act responsibly. By so doing, realization of sustainable growth and development in all aspects of human endeavours which includes food security will be realized.
