Under further global w arming\, climate hazards such as concurrent heat and drought make these sh ocks even more likely\, potentially leading to higher production losses an d widespread food insecurity. Shocks may also be caused or intensified fro m geo-political or socio-economic events. Impacts are exacerbated\, for ex ample\, when several regions or systems are affected\, leading to compound ing or cascading effects across environmental and human systems.\n\nThe fo cus of this webinar lies on expolring potential cascading and compound sho cks to global food production systems and their impacts\, focusing on stat e-of-the-art tools and the current challenges and possibilities of going b eyond impacts on single sectors or shocks towards large-scale and multisec toral cascading impact assessment.\n\nThe speakers are:\n\nDr Corey Lesk -   "How compound extremes impact crops and what they mean for adaptation"\ nDr Franziska Gaupp - "Systemic risk and compound vulnerability in the foo d system: a Somalia case study"\nDr Peter Alexander - "How shocks related to the war in Ukraine impact the global food system"\n\n \;\n\nPlease see here for more information and the registration link.
