<p>Global climate change is becoming more severe, as evidenced by the global mean temperature reaching a record high of 1.45 &plusmn; 0.12 &deg;C above the pre-industrial levels in 2023.01 Ocean temperatures and sea levels are also at record highs: average global sea surface temperature for February 2024 over 60&deg;S&ndash;60&deg;N was 21.06&deg;C, the highest record for any month in the dataset.01 At the same time, Antarctic sea ice and glaciers are reaching record lows.02 These changes in climatic parameters are causing long-term shifts in weather patterns and more frequent extreme weather events. As a result, critical resources such as water availability as well as energy production and food security are being affected.01 This paper examines the impacts of climate change on energy, food, and water security, and explores potential solutions to reduce vulnerability and improve resilience.</p>
