Abstract
Implications of rapidly changing climate on different sectors of socioeconomic activities including agriculture have focussed the attention of global community to devise ways to address the negative consequences. The scenario has been compounded owing to increasing extreme events and resulting in severe impacts on life and livelihood in general and food security in particular. The status of impacts of climate change on agriculture in different regions of the world by global organizations has been presented. Various initiatives at global, regional, and local levels are underway to cope up with the adverse impacts and achieve sustainability in crop production. The chapter attempts to present the current and future status of climate change, impacts on agriculture, and emerging climate and agrometeorological services in the world and India to support climate resilient agriculture.
