Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges of our time, with effects that go far beyond the natural environment and affect economies and societies on a global scale. A recent study highlighted how these climate changes could have a significant impact on international trade with major economic losses. Global trade is largely dependent on strategic sea routes known as critical transit points, such as the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Turkish Straits. These areas are essential for the global movement of goods, including agricultural products, which represent a significant share of international trade. A study by an international team led by Ramón Key investigated how climate change could affect these key areas, using advanced models to predict global economic consequences.
