Zimbabwe has set poverty reduction targets in a changing climate, yet the implications of climate variability for poverty remain under-explored. Utilising household datasets to explore the association between poverty, cereal productivity and climate...
Mozambique is highly exposed to recurring natural disaster shocks, including floods, storms, and drought. In addition to their impact on economic growth and loss of lives and livelihoods, natural disasters, especially floods,...
Climate change creates risks for agrifood exporters as extreme weather events and rising temperatures disrupt supply chains and reduce productivity. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises also face risks from new policies, regulations and tech...
Agriculture is key to Africa's economic growth and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The vision for sustainable food systems in Africa includes achieving resilience to climate shocks, increasing agricultural productivit...
Climate change, directly and indirectly, impacts food systems, food trade, food and nutrition security, and the attainment of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, such as achieving zero hunger, ending poverty, ensuring healthy lives, and...
Agricultural development projects often emphasize the need for climate change adaptation and mitigation in production. Yet upstream and downstream functions of agricultural value chains bear a similar importance for the resilience of the agricultural...
Climate change and its pronounced effects have greatly disfranchised the livelihoods of aquafarmers. To leverage these negative effects of climate change, climate-smart aquaculture (CSA) practices have been developed for adoption by farmers. However,...
The study investigated the effects of climate variability on yield of maize, yam, and cassava in South east Nigeria and the role of agricultural extension on climate variability mitigation and adaptation measures Secondary and primary data were used....
This study investigates the trend in Rainfall Onset Dates (ROD), Rainfall Cessation Dates (RCD), Length of Growing Seasons (LGS) and Rainfall Amount at Onset of Rainfall (RAO) using linear regression, Mann-Kendall, Sen Slope and Hurst Exponent for fo...
This Climate Change policy updates the 2017 version, aiming to guide the organization’s response to a worsening climate crisis. It focuses on WFP’s climate-specific and climate-relevant action in the context of chronic and acute food insecurity, with...
This study investigates the compounded effects of armed conflicts and climate-induced disruptions on agricultural input use in Ethiopia, a country experiencing significant fragility due to both factors.
n this integrated cost-benefit analysis, the Nature-Based Infrastructure Global Resource Centre analyzes the potential of nature-based infrastructure (NBI) to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events under different climate scenarios in Ghana.
