How can pastoralists adapt to climate change?
id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2009Pastoralists in East Africa have been adapting to unpredictable environments for thousands of years. But poverty and a lack of basic services reduce their ability to cope with climate change. Whether pastoralists can adapt to, or take advantage of, climate change depends on how governments and donors support them to tackle the challenges.DocumentAlleviating poverty through indirect climate change adaptation
id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2008Adapting to climate change is vital for all countries, especially those in developing regions. However, the priority for many people in poor countries is escaping from poverty and maintaining their livelihoods, rather than adapting to climate change.DocumentSurvival of the fittest. Pastoralism and climate change in East Africa
Oxfam, 2008This paper analyses the policies required to enable pastoralist communities to cope with the impact of climate change.DocumentA preliminary assessment of energy and ecosystem resilience in ten African countries
HELIO International, 2007Africa is vulnerable to climate change on two fronts: firstly, because of existing vulnerabilities and secondly, due to capacity limitations for disaster mitigation and inability to adapt to climate change.DocumentClimate change in Tanzania – addressing vulnerable groups in adaptation planning
id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2007Climate change is predicted to have significant impacts on environmental resources in Tanzania. Food production, water and health will all be affected. Certain groups will be more vulnerable to these impacts than others. National adaptation plans and policies will need to prioritise the needs of these groups.DocumentThe South South North Capacity Building Module on Poverty Reduction

WWF-World Wide Fund For Nature, 2006This report highlights some of the major impacts of climate change on conservation for East African countries including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. It also illustrates that climate change in Africa is not only a conservation issue but also a socio-economic one that must be dealt with on a global scale.DocumentTackling climate change and aid in Africa
id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2006Climate change is already affecting many developing countries. In Africa, over 70 percent of workers rely on small-scale farming dependent on direct rainfall. Even small changes to weather patterns can threaten food security and health. These impacts present a huge challenge to the coordination of aid efforts and the design of development policies.DocumentPushing the agenda for climate change in East Africa
id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2005Climate change is one of the most serious development challenges facing humanity. Many of Africa’s poorest countries, which have contributed least to global warming, are amongst the most vulnerable to climate change. While industrialised countries dedicate resources to protect themselves, the impacts of climate change in Africa continue to be ignored.DocumentAdapting to climate change in East Africa: a strategic approach
International Institute for Environment and Development, 2005This paper provides an overview of the likely impacts of climate change in three least developed countries in East Africa: Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. In the coming decades, climate change is likely to alter temperatures and distribution of rainfall, contribute to sea-level rise and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in East Africa.Pages
