  Evidence to support climate change adaptation in Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland

  Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Policy Analysis Network, 2015

  In southern Africa, the predicted 2°C rise in temperature will destabilise farming systems. Coping mechanisms, livelihood strategies and the cost of adaptation options for smallholder farmers are not sufficiently understood in the region because the majority of research is focused on ecological assessment and identifying the vulnerability of households.
