text: We examine the implications of our new climate projections by applying some commonly 
  used indices of climate extremes, and a further index quantifying relative vulnerability to food 
  insecurity which combines climate extremes indices with information on a range of factors 
  representing sensitivity and adaptability of food systems to climate hazards. We also use the 
  climate projections to drive a global land surface model to simulate changes in run-off as 
  an indicator of freshwater availability. We assess whether regional extremes are projected to 
  increase or decrease at 2°C global warming, and whether the consequent impact on drought and 
  vulnerability to food insecurity become greater or smaller. We also assess whether these changes 
  are reduced by limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We explore some of the uncertainties in these 
  projections, and, in particular, examine whether the use of ensemble-mean projections is a useful 
  simple guide to impacts projections or whether this can lead to a misleading impression for some 
  impacts. Regarding vulnerability to food insecurity, we consider the impacts of global warming 
  at 1.5°C and 2°C alongside socio-economic inﬂuences that affect the sensitivity to climate change. 
  We also consider our climate-change impacts results in comparison with other studies using older, 
  lower-resolution climate projections.
