Climate change with multifaceted stressors and impacts is among the defining challenges for ecological sciences, human beings, and planet Earth in the twenty-first century. Nevertheless, evidence of scientific literature on climate change and the quality of climate models for predicting future climatic changes has become sophisticated in recent decades; the account of altered pest dynamics on crop production and other ecological cycles due to climate change demands significant attention as well. In this chapter, we discussed how climate change such as elevated temperatures, high CO₂ levels, and erratic precipitation patterns leading to droughts, floods, and other extreme weather conditions may influence pests’ populations. For instance, climate change can trigger changes such as the expansion of pest distribution in spatial and temporal bases, increased pest infestation intensity, crop yield loss, increased risk of …
