Abstract
The aim of this article is to focus on world economic prospects, especially the risk and opportunities facing the world food supply due to climate changes. The brightening and dimming phenomena require more awareness on global scale. Negligence of such problems will intensify future challenges reflected in water scarcity, decline in the cultivated arable lands, and the increase in number of refugees. Despite these challenges, adopting risk macroeconomic and environmental policies to face the upcoming economic risks is highly needed. Inattention of such problems will intensify future challenges and devastate development. The study proposes the required policies to adopt effective macroeconomic and environmental policies to face the challenging future development objectives.
