Climate change has had a detrimental impact on Tuvalu's subsistence farmers over the past 30 years. The agricultural sector has been severely affected by increasing temperatures, sea-level rise, persistent droughts, and more intense tropical cyclones. These extreme weather conditions have further amplified storm surges, wave energy, and surface runoff during the wet season. High temperatures will also reduce agricultural productivity and damage crops, leading to food shortages and economic losses for island residents.
