Climate Change and Its Impact on AgriculturalProductivity in Arid Regions

Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon with far-reaching effects on the environment,
economy, and human health. In arid regions, where agriculture is already challenged by
limited water resources and extreme temperatures, the impacts of climate change are
particularly profound. This paper examines how climate change affects agricultural
productivity in arid regions, with a focus on temperature increases, altered precipitation
patterns, and water scarcity. It discusses both the direct and indirect effects of climate change
on crop yields and farming practices, highlighting strategies for adaptation and mitigation.
The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for sustainable agricultural practices and
policy interventions to address the challenges posed by climate change in these vulnerable
regions.
