Critical Consequences of ENSO Transitions

  • Extreme weather events increase mortality rates during transitions
  • Crop failures displace millions from agricultural regions
  • Food prices surge beyond reach of vulnerable populations
  • Farmers face crop planning chaos with uncertain conditions
  • Coastal communities prepare for intensified storm systems
  • Agricultural systems destabilize across global food networks
