        This paper aims to investigate the impact of climate change on food security in the villages of the Migan village of Nehbandan district of South Khorasan. In order to achieve this goal, target groups (100 households were randomly selected) were identified to measure the impact of climate change on food security and were indexed to identify the various domains of food security. These indicators include indicators of access to rural food insecurity and food insecurity ranges of rural households. Finally, rural households were classified in terms of food security in four groups: mild food security, moderate food security, food insecurity. Changes in key food security and household livelihoods as a result of climatic changes in the region have been clarified with regard to field observations and key interviews with rural people. The main finding is that societies that have never experienced extreme temperatures, drought and dust have not experienced it, they are currently in abundance. The research findings revealed that all households in the statistical community have food insecurityHouseholds vulnerable to climate change recorded a high level of food insecurity. Households prefer to adopt a variety of strategies in response to climate change that helps improve household food security. Non-agricultural incomes play an important role in reducing food insecurity in households. Manuscript profile

        Increasing greenhouse gases could increase the frequency of changes in precipitation in different regions of the world. So, identify the effects of global warming on precipitation in a country like Iran which is located in the dry area of the earth is of great importance in planning related to water resources are. According to the study, statistical analysis method used. for analysis, total precipitation data of 34 stations from 1984 to 2012 was received from the National Weather Service. Also data of methane Gase (ppb) as one of the most important factors of global warming, the site of NOAA received. Outset this elements by method The Pearson correlation coefficient determined, afterwards long-term changes in precipitation than was calculated. The results of this study showed that, Bharhdr rainfall in the north and northwest parts of the country grew 13 mm; and Precipitation stations southern half of the country have faced long-term reduction of 46 percent. Due to the increasing amount of greenhouse gases, analysis of the data suggests a reduction of 30 mm of precipitation in summer than long-term stations in southern Iran, but in contrast rainfall in western and northern stations, an increasing of 14 mm. The results showed that the autumn precipitation is most relevant to global warming, in this season, about 24 mm of rainfall western stations to long-term decline, but the Southwest and Southeast stations surged 17 mm have experienced. Finally, the results of the Winters precipitation showed which, the West and Northwest stations were reduced 18/6 mm. Manuscript profile

        The phenomenon of climate change has occurred in recent decades as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions and a general warming of the earth. Which has led to significant changes in the meteorological elements and as a result of the status of water resources in the regions. Short term droughts, large floods, marine hurricanes ... are among the consequences of climate change. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of climate change on the runoff of the Caravandr River. In this study, the CORDEX data of the REMO model was used under two RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios during the baseline period (1365-1384) and the upcoming timeframe (1434-1400). In this research, SDSM and Linear Scaling were used for micromachining of climatic data. The results of the SDSM model showed that there is no acceptable correlation between the Caravander River runoff and the 26 major climate scale parameters (NCEP). Linear scaling method was followed by high correlation between precipitation and runoff and the REMO climatic model showed good performance in simulating climatic parameters. The climate parameters were simulated for the upcoming period (1434-1400) and compared with the observation period (1365-1384). According to the results of this study, it can be said that the runoff of the whole basin has increased in both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios in the future time series. The water assessment and planning (WEAP) model was used to study the effect of climate change on water allocation. The results of the WEAP model for three scenarios: increase in agricultural land, industrial progress and population growth indicate an increase in water demand in the catchment area and an increase in unprovched needs for agriculture, drinking and industry in the region.

        Today, climate change poses an environmental challenge to climate scientists, environmentalists, and politicians and governments. Whatever the scientific and theoretical view of climate change, even as a given phenomenon, one must be concerned about this. Because taking precautionary measures will make us safer than possible harm. In this regard, this study aimed to reveal the effect of climate change on dryland wheat calendar (Chamran cultivar) as a cultivated species in Khuzestan province. Precipitation data, minimum and maximum temperatures were sorted during the 1980–2010 climate. And after normalizing the data into the LARS-WG software environment .And its output was simulated by the LARS-WG model under the A2 emission scenario for the 2015-2045 climate period for the four parameters of minimum temperature, maximum temperature, radiation and precipitation. HADGCM2 model data from MarkSim output is also used for the next period (2030-2015) and (2030-2045). The results of this study showed that in the two 15-year periods 2015 to 2030 and 2030 to 2045 the minimum and maximum temperatures will increase according to all pessimistic and optimistic scenarios. This increase in March to April coincides with the harvest period more than other months. Precipitation in January, December and March will decrease in all scenarios. This decline will be more noticeable especially in the forecast period of 2015 to 2030 than in the forecast period of 2030 to 2045. In contrast, in November, February and April there will be an upward trend in all scenarios. Based on the combination of the two elements of temperature and precipitation predicted for the next two periods, all planting periods will have a harvest of 10 to 15 days. Manuscript profile

        هn this study, the temperature and precipitation monthly averages of two synoptic stations of Bandar-Abbas and Minab were investigated during two periods (2044-20-2015 and 2074-2074) based on the general atmospheric circulation model outputs (CanESM2) and three scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Then, the trend of these two parameters was evaluated using Mann-Kendall (MK) test. Also, the simulated and observational data were evaluated using three coefficients including NS, R2, RMSE. The investigation of these coefficients showed high ability of SDSM model for modeling of precipitation and temperature parameters at both stations. According to the results, annual precipitation in RCP2.6 scenario of Bandar-Abbas synoptic station and RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios of Minab station will decrease and the most reduction of rainfall will be related to Minab synoptic station. The average amount of temperature for the future in RCP8.5 emission scenario is more than other emission scenarios. Generally, these results indicated that temperature values will increase at the beginning of the 21st century in the Minab Plain, and the rainfall will increase just in RCP2.6 scenarios. While in the middle of the 20th century (2074-2045) at Minab and Bandar-Abbas synoptic stations, the temperature reduction is observed only in the RCP2.6 scenarios on an annual scale. Therefore, considering the reduction of rainfall and increasing of temperature and also their role in evapotranspiration enhancement, planners and authorities are recommended to seek solutions for proper management of water resources and modification of utilization methods in these areas, especially in the agricultural section and also use solutions to adapt to the new weather conditions in these regions.

        Paris Climate Conference was held in a different manner related to the previous ones. The difference was in determining countries pledges. In this conference states themselves determined their share of mitigation of greenhouse gases. In previous conferences pledges were determined through a top down procedure which was not adequate and also parties were not able to fulfill them. But in Paris conference a bottom up procedure was used that helped countries to take pledges, based on their condition and abilities, they are able to fulfill them. The purpose of this research is to answer this question that how Paris climate conference affects international cooperation? This research suggests that the cooperation in Paris can be a model for cooperation in other international fields. Manuscript profile

        The increase of greenhouse gases and the resulting increase in temperature have caused the balance of the earth's climate system and climate changes in most areas of the earth. Therefore, adapting and dealing with climate changes in the water resources sector along with reducing their reflection should be seriously addressed as part of a comprehensive regional response to the vulnerability caused by climate change. In this study, using LARS-WG exponential microscale software and the HadCM3 oceanic atmospheric general circulation model in the form of different scenarios defined in the fourth IPCC report (basic scenarios), including scenario A1, A2, B1, B2, which are more related to regional issues. And the world is concerned from an economic and environmental point of view, the amount of temperature changes and precipitation in the next 100 years of Bashar river basin was predicted. Then the fifth report scenario (RCP) was used and the results were compared with the basic scenarios. The results showed that in both scenarios in the coming period, we will face a large increase in average air temperature, but the decrease in precipitation will not be significant. In the climate change scenario section, RCPs until the end of the 21st century indicate an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation in the coming years. The amount of temperature changes in RCP2.6 was estimated between 3 and 13% and in RCP8.5 between 4 and 14%; This increase in temperature on a large scale increases evaporation and prolongs drought periods.

        In 2019, Iran ranked eighth in the world in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide produced and polluting the earth, and higher than England, France, Italy, Canada, Turkey, Mexico, Indonesia, etc. But the environmental realities of Iran are even more terrible than these statistics. Because by calculating the destruction of surface and underground water, forests and pastures, this country is facing a much deeper crisis. Iran has a very fragile environmental situation and is at the forefront of the fight against global warming. This vast country is located in the desert belt and dry and crisis-stricken region of the Middle East and between war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. With the destruction of underground water resources and the forests and pastures of the region and the increase in the use of fossil fuels, irreparable damage has been done to the region's environment. In such a situation, economic sanctions against Iran make the situation worse. This issue has not received much attention from politicians and even environmentalists. How will the air on the planet become hotter and more polluted with the sanctions on Iran, and its smoke will reach the eyes of all the people of the world, including the embargoing countries?

        During the last century, science and technology have grown and developed significantly, however, this development, along with all the advantages and added values for the quality of human life, has brought inappropriate effects on the environment. Unfortunately, the human conflict with the problems which has created for the planet, including wars and new diseases, has caused less attention to the impact of climate change on environment and especially the related agriculture activities. If the agricultural sector exposed by climate change and will not be able to meet human food needs, life will be near to its end point. Agricultural activities are not only exposed to these changes, but also by leaving possible negative effects on environment lead to these changes. Threatening food security, the reduction of biological diversity, the loss of soil, the reduction of water resources, and the conversion of forests into farms and their gradual destruction, turn the earth into an unlivable area with the unpredictable occurrence of storms, floods and temperature changes. Therefore, investigating the impact of climate change and its components on different ecosystems and species that affect agriculture can be a step towards achieving new management mechanisms to reduce and adapt to these changes and achieving sustainable environment and agriculture.

        Despite the existence of a legal regime to deal with climate change in the current era, the various consequences of climate change are increasing rapidly and the most negative effects are on the poor and marginalized people around the world. Considering the ineffectiveness of the government's legal responsibility institution in meeting climate commitments, what practical solutions can be considered to deal with this challenge? It seems that considering the uneven path of the legal system of international responsibility to deal with climate change, from the Structural Convention to Paris, it is possible to resort to the moral responsibility of governments by validating moral principles. In this article, with a descriptive and analytical method, after examining the legal regime of climate change and its challenges, ethical principles and its relationship with obligations related to climate change are discussed as a practical solution to deal with climate change.
