Climate change affects negatively human and other being’s life on earth such as; uncertainty of cultivation season, failed harvest, low production, animals are tragically dies due to long dry season.
Timor-Leste facing high rates of hunger 41.8 percent, 45.6 percent stunted child below five, 29.5 percent malnourished people and high rate of unemployment due to poor public policies for agricultural development in order to elevate the food production, creating job opportunities for young people as well as protecting environment.
