Abstract: Abstract The ongoing, 2023–2024 El Niño appears to become a strong event, possibly comparable to the other strong El Niño episodes on record. In itself, and because it coincides with grave tensions – economic, political and environmental across the world – the phenomenon could have major climatic, social, and economic consequences. This Opinion article considers the scientific information available, explores the possible climatic consequences, and assesses the impacts on global food security. The case of India, one of the main agricultural and most populated country in the world, is considered.
