Abstract EN
This study is concerned with food security effects of global warming in Kuwait.
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approach to monitor impacts of human activities on climate change has essentially remained top-down.
hence, it fallen out of favour among end user communities.
in this procedure, the needs of policymakers at national scale have been peripheral.
Kuwait’s food security is a good illustration of this.
the study is implemented by applying a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model for Kuwait.
the model was calibrated on Kuwaiti data to examine food security impacts of the five shared socio-economic pathways.
the simulation results indicate asymmetrical impacts on Kuwait’s agriculture and food processing industries.
Arid countries would benefit by enhancing national capacities to assess food security implications of global warming scenarios.
