In addition to being complex, these problems are urgent, potentially dangerous, and change overtime. They also require long-term, flexible interventions from diverse stakeholders. Whether, and how, to solve sustainability problems is often controversial, as the impact and importance of the problem may vary depending on geographic location. For example, in the United States, sea level rise due to global climate change is a problem that may not directly impact a farming community in the Midwest, while cities on the east coast experience increased, and more severe seasonal flooding.

(2022) studied "The Impact of Climate Change on Rural Farmers in Developing Countries." This literature review investigates the effects of climate change on smallholder farmers in rural areas of developing nations. According to the review, smallholder farmers have significant adverse effects from climate change, such as decreasing crop yields, increased pest and disease challenges, and restricted access to water resources. If farmers are forced to spend more on inputs and might find it difficult to sell their produce in unstable markets, these effects are likely to be made worse by rising food costs.
