Climate change resulting in the rise of temperature may benefit which of the countries/regions ?

Climate change and the resulting rise in global temperatures are expected to have varied regional impacts. While tropical and low-lying regions face threats from sea-level rise and heat stress [c1][c3], high-latitude regions like Russia and Northern Europe may experience certain benefits. Specifically, global warming leads to the thawing of permafrost and snow, which is likely to increase the amount of available arable land in these northern regions [c1][c2]. Northern Europe is projected to benefit from a prolongation and intensification of the thermal growing season, potentially increasing agricultural productivity [t2][t9]. Similarly, Russia possesses the largest landmass of any northern nation and is well-positioned to capitalize on warming temperatures, which are expected to boost its crop production as previously frozen lands become viable for farming [t3][t8]. In contrast, regions like the East Indies and coastal South America face significant risks from inundation and salinity [c1][c3].
