in the World [8], 793 million people are undernourished [9]. Among the most significant impacts of climate change is the potential increase of food insecurity and

3.1.1 Climate Change and Risk of Hunger
Many factors increase the risk of climate change on hunger and mal nutrition. These
factors include:
• Extreme weather event (intensity and frequency); throw adverse impact on
livelihood and food security by climate related disaster to destroy crop and
infrastructure.
• Gradual and long term climate risk; as increase in sea level rise with on sequently
impact on all the live and activity at costal area and river delta with change the
pattern of flooding and drought as well.
• Food availability, access, stability and utilization; change in climate variables (temperature and rainfall) affected on crop productivity and quality which sacrificed
the poor farmer and vulnerable people with increase the prices of main and major
crops. In addition to the impacts on chronic food insecurity and create a vicious
cycle of disease and hunger. All these factor could be create the state of instability
of the strategic plans of food security.
