Integrated Development Society, 2014This study provides estimates of the impacts and economic costs of climate change for key risks in Nepal.DocumentImpact of climate change on food security in Nigeria
AFRREV STECH: An International Journal of Science and Technology, 2014This journal article is aimed at examining, through literature search, the impact of climate change on food security in Nigeria with a view to making suggestions on strategies to mitigate the impact of climate change on the environment generally and food security in particular.DocumentWhat drives deforestation and what stops it? A meta-analysis of spatially explicit econometric studies
Center for Global Development, USA, 2014This paper presents a meta-analysis of what drives deforestation and what stops it. The researchers find that forests are more likely to be cleared where economic returns to agriculture and pasture are higher, either due to more favorable climatological and topographic conditions, or due to lower costs of clearing forest and transporting products to market.DocumentExploring strategic priorities for regional agricultural research and development investments in Southern Africa
International Food Policy Research Institute, 2014The primary goal of this study was to identify a range of agricultural research priorities for achieving sector productivity and overall economic growth in southern Africa, at both the country and regional levels.DocumentBuilding national forest and land-use information systems: Lessons from Cameroon, Indonesia, and Peru
World Resources Institute, Washington DC, 2014This working paper, published by the World Resources Institute, looks at efforts in Cameroon, Indonesia, and Peru to invest in the infrastructure and capacity to track the impacts of changes from from forest and land-use-based climate change mitigation actions.DocumentFood & climate: Connecting the dots, choosing the way forward
Center for Food Safety, 2014This report aims to outline the climate requirements for successful food production, and examines two competing food production methods – industrial and organic – to reveal how they contribute to climate change, how resilient they are in the face of escalating climate shocks, and how organic and related agricultural systems can actually contribute to solving the climate crisis.DocumentCrop adaptation to climate change in the semi-arid zone in Tanzania: the role of genetic resources and seed systems
2014Background Rural livelihoods relying on agriculture are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Climate models project increasingly negative effects on maize and sorghum production in sub-Saharan Africa. We present a case study of the role of genetic resources and seed systems in adapting to climatic stress from the semi-arid agroecological zone in Tanzania. ResultsDocumentHow does climate change alter agricultural strategies to support food security?
International Food Policy Research Institute, 2014The purpose of the paper is to identify how climate change affects how people should approach the process of transforming agricultural systems (including crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry) to support global food security and poverty reduction in a sustainable way.DocumentThe land-use sector within the post-2020 climate regime
Nordic Council of Ministers, 2014This report analyses the current status of the land-use sector under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol, and formulates options for how various incentives and systems could be harmonised under a future climate treaty.DocumentRural Peoples’ Perception to Climate Variability/Change in Cross River State-Nigeria
Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014This study attempts to assess perception level of rural people to climate change in selected communities in Cross River State, Nigeria. Results showed 71.7 per cent of the people are aware of climate change. They also indicated that the onset of rains is now delayed while cessation is earlier against the trend in the past.Pages
