Many, many different ways.

A lot will have to with water availability as precipitation and surface water patterns change. In very general terms, this will obviously affect natural environments like forests, grasslands and deserts and has obvious implications for agricultural practices and the global food security market. That said, people with doctorates spend their entire careers trying to understand and fully explore this question so it's impossible to give any more than a general answer here.
