Climates’ dual grip: Mapping upper and lower bounds for thermal stress risk for rice, wheat, and maize in Bangladesh

The stability of food production is a major concern, given the impact of climate change, the growing human population, and changing dietary patterns. Variations in climate and extreme weather events can significantly affect the productivity of major cereal crops, which can have significant implications for the income and rural livelihoods of farmers, particularly in regions prone to climate change risks. However, research in this area has been hampered by a lack of readily available data and generalizable interpretations of the effects of weather extremes, which could be used for national climate change preparedness, adaptation, and agricultural decision making.
