Abstract

In recent years, the term "climate change" has been widely used worldwide. Almost everyone knows or has an idea of the meaning of the phrase. Climate change has become part of the global agenda, being the topic of discussion at many international conferences. Climate change poses a threat to global security as it represents a danger to various aspects of human life, such as lives, with human losses occurring from time to time due to weather events, and to food security, as it can limit people's access to food in many ways. One manifestation of climate change is the occurrence of extreme weather events, characterized by a rise in global temperatures, increased frequency of cyclones, floods, and droughts. The objective of this research is to understand what SADC countries are doing at the regional level to mitigate the effects of climate change on food security. While developing the research, documentary and bibliographic techniques are used. However, secondary sources, including the analysis of works carried out by other researchers, have allowed for a better understanding of the problem and broadened the scope of the answer to the research problem.
