Did I not mention population? The consequences of multiple crop failures due to climate are what drive migration. They also drive political instability. I'm surprised you would think they are unrelated issues.
My issue is the nonsensical attempts to take complex problems where climate change is a minor contributor and then claim that it is all about climate change. It isn't. 90%+ of the problem is dysfunctional governments and overpopulation which were most certainly not caused by climate change.

As for crop failures: they have occurred since humans started planting crops. The only difference is we have the option of moving food thanks to cheap transportation costs and record high agricultural productivity in countries that are able to produce good government.

The best solution for the third world is better government. Figuring out how to provide better government in third world countries is a difficult problem but is it is a lot easier to deal with than CO2 emissions because we have lots of working examples of good government today.
