Climate change is linked to many catastrophic events and causes many disasters for people around the world. We cannot say that just those impoverished countries are impacted by the worsening effects of climate change, when wealthier nations continue to lose billions of dollars and thousands of lives year. This review work's primary goal was to determine how climate change affects crop water requirements and productivity while also offering recommendations. Numerous books and papers, both published and unpublished, were reviewed as part of the methodology. The outcome showed that the impact of climate change will vary by region and could be either good or unfavorable. In some regions of the world, raising the temperature by just one degrees Celsius may significantly reduce wheat yield productivity, but in other regions, it will enhance yield and water productivity. According to those studies, despite an increase in yield and water productivity, the high levels of carbon dioxide in the environment will cause the quality to deteriorate. Additionally. According to the reports, depending on various situations and horizons with sowing dates as well, the water need for wheat production will fall by 10% to 32% as a result of temperature increases. Researchers also underlined that water productivity will occasionally decline if mitigating efforts are not made to address the effects of climate change.
