Abstract

An essential crop for both sugar and bioenergy, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), is grown all over the world. Extreme weather events become more frequent and more intense as a outcome of rising greenhouse gas emissions and global warming brought on by climate change. Due to the world's relatively low adaptive capacity, high vulnerability to natural disasters, inadequate forecasting systems, and inadequate mitigating strategies, climate change is expected to have significant effects on sugarcane production worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The frequency and severity of extreme environmental conditions are likely to increase due to climate change, which could have had a negative impact on sugarcane production and will likely continue to do so. Geographical location and adaptation capacity influence how much climate change will affect sugarcane. In order to better understand the effects of climate change on sugarcane production, we reviewed sugarcane response to climate change events, sugarcane production in several different countries, and challenges for sugarcane production in climate change in this paper. We then proposed strategies for mitigating the negative effects of climate change and enhancing the sustainability and profitability of sugarcane production.
