Fall Armyworm could threaten the food security and livelihoods of millions of small-scale farmers in Asia as the invasive crop-eating pest is highly likely to spread further from India, with South East Asia and South China most at risk. It could have a devastating impact on Asia's maize and rice crops, which are among the most cultivated in the region.

According to a new study, coastal floods could impact up to 3.65 million people every year in Europe by 2100. Without increased investment in coastal adaptation, the expected annual damage caused by coastal floods in Europe could increase from €1.25 billion today to between €93 billion and €961 billion by the end of the century.
