Climate Disasters and Food Security. 200 Years after Tambora. 1816 is called the year without summer where in many countries the entire crop has been destroyed and livestock died by thous- ands. One of the biggest famine resulted from a volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1815. As a consequence, a mixture of dust and ash seeped into the ground and darkened the sky. In the following year, 1816, the ash cloud reached Europe and usual sun-drenched summer days were rare. Today it seems that climate disasters such as severe droughts, heavy rainfall events and flooding, violent storms occur much more often. These extreme weather events destroy harvests, food stocks and transport routes and thus in particular livelihoods of those who depend on agriculture. Currently, trend projections show an increase of the average temperature of up to 4 degrees Celsius reached by the end of this century. The consequences would be devastating - especially for the world‘s food security since declining crop yields are expected in near future (up to 40%).
