Climate Change.

• -pattern of precipitation expected to change, wet areas wetter and dry areas drier. Could lead to water shortages and potential conflict.
• Extreme weather events expected to become more frequent and most likely to affect less developed countries most as they are less prepared to deal with the impacts.
• Food shortages due to decrease in agricultural productivity.
• Flooding in coastal and low-lying areas due to rise in sea levels.
• Geographical range of species expected to change, arrival of new animals in different ecosystems could cause significant damage specifically extinction to some animals.
• A decline in plankton numbers if temps increase, has an impact on marine food chains.
