The 27th Conference of Parties (COP27) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) took place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2022 against the backdrop of rising food, energy, and debt crises in many developing economies. It was thus significant that the cover decision of COP27, the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan, recognised “the fundamental priority of safeguarding food security and ending hunger, and the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems to the adverse impacts of climate change” (UNFCCC 2022b). Regions with substantial development constraints, limited access to basic services, and a high level of dependence on climate-sensitive livelihoods (for example, smallholder farming and pastoralism) are highly vulnerable to climate hazards (IPCC 2022a). The agricultural sector in developing countries is one of the sectors most adversely affected by climate variability, and, in the future, by the ongoing impact of anthropogenic global warming.
