This study investigates the long-run and short-run relationships between climate change, agricultural credit, renewable energy, and food security in South Asian countries (1990-2021). Using the Dynamic Common Correlated Effects technique, the findings reveal that climate change negatively impacts food security, while renewable energy positively affects it in the short-run but not the long-run. Agricultural credit, however, shows a positive effect on food security. The study suggests investments in climate services, resilient infrastructure, drought-resistant crops, and improved weather forecasting to mitigate climate change's negative effects on food security.
