Lukas Kornher, PhD, University of Bonn, GermanyLukas Kornher is a Senior Researcher at the University of Bonn’s Center for Development Research (ZEF). He obtained his PhD from the University of Bonn in 2015 and previously worked at the University of Kiel as a Post-Doctoral Researcher. He has extensive work experience in the area of food price volatility, trade, and food and nutrition security. Currently, Lukas Kornher focusses on quantitative research on how market access and trade liberalization affect SDG outcomes, specifically food and nutrition security (SDG2).
Global warming is influencing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, with consequences on and challenging food security. Climate phenomena are already affecting farming systems and the quality and safety of food, pushing additional people toward food insecurity. At the same time, food systems are responsible for high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, further contributing to the climate change. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and measures to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change are likely to impact on environment, public health and food security.
