Australian cotton production is characterised by high yielding, high quality cropping systems, earning in excess of $2.5b in export revenues annually.

Rising atmospheric CO2, warmer air temperatures, higher Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) and reduced water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to affect cotton production.

I attended the 3rd Agriculture and Climate Change conference held in Budapest, Hungary from the 24th-26th March 2019.

Climate change will affect cotton through rising atmospheric CO2 levels, higher temperatures, lower humidity (high Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD)) and reduced water availability.
