==== 5.1.1.2 Effects of climate change on food security ====

<div id="section-5-1-1-2-effects-of-climate-change-on-food-security-block-1"></div>

Climate change is projected to negatively impact the four pillars of food security – availability, access, utilisation and stability – and their interactions (FAO et al. 2018 <sup>[[#fn:r10|10]]</sup> ) ( ''high confidence'' ). This chapter assesses recent work since AR5 that has strengthened understanding of how climate change affects each of these pillars across the full range of food system activities (Table 5.1 and Section 5.2).

While most studies continue to focus on availability via impacts on food production, more studies are addressing related issues of access (e.g., impacts on food prices), utilisation (e.g., impacts on nutritional quality), and stability (e.g., impacts of increasing extreme events) as they are affected by a changing climate (Bailey et al. 2015). Low-income producers and consumers are likely to be most affected because of a lack of resources to invest in adaptation and diversification measures (UNCCD 2017 <sup>[[#fn:r12|12]]</sup> ; Bailey et al. 2015 <sup>[[#fn:r13|13]]</sup> ).
