Land rehabilitation on the central plateau of Burkina Faso and building resilience to climate change through farmer-managed natural regeneration in Niger
Ecosystems and Livelihoods Adaptation Network, 2011This case study examines adaptation measures that have been implemented in the Sahel region since the 1980s, including farmer‐managed natural regeneration (FMNR). In Burkina Faso, efforts have been implemented to rehabilitate barren crusted land using contour bunds and improved planting pits.DocumentCommunity-based rangeland rehabilitation for adaptation to climate change and carbon sequestration
Ecosystems and Livelihoods Adaptation Network, 2011Since the 1960s, the Sahel region in Africa has experienced a general decline in the volume of rainfall. Between 1961 and 1998, droughts have affected Sudan with varying degrees of severity.DocumentPromoting ecosysterm-based adaptation practices and iterative learning in Bangladesh's drought-prone areas: livelihood adaptation to climate change project (LACC)
Ecosystems and Livelihoods Adaptation Network, 2011The impacts of climate variability and change are global concerns, but in Bangladesh, where large parts of the population are vulnerable to a range of natural hazards, they are particularly critical.DocumentClimate change: storm brewing for Uganda's booming tea industry
Participatory Research with Farmers, International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), 2011Tens of thousands of Uganda’s tea producers – many of them Fairtrade certified – will need to take decisive action to protect their crop and their livelihoods if the latest climate change predictions come true.DocumentTowards a green economy: Agriculture - investing in natural capital
United Nations [UN] Environment Programme, 2011This document makes a case for investing in 'greening' the agriculture sector, emphasising the potential global benefits of making this transition.DocumentIntegrating climate change into agricultural research for development in Africa
International Institute for Environment and Development, 2011African agriculture faces the dual challenge of being vulnerable to climate change and largely underfunded.DocumentVulnerability and capacity assessment: impacts of climate change on Guyana's agriculture sector
Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, 2009The bulk of Guyana's agricultural activity occurs on the narrow coastal plain which is highly susceptible to flooding as it is mostly below or at sea level. Compounding this dilemma is the fact that climate change is predicted to significantly alter rainfall and temperature patterns throughout the country. This vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) examines the measures employed by farOrganisationFauna & Flora International (FFI)
Fauna & Flora International's work spans across the globe, with over 100 projects in nearly 40 countries, mostly in the developing world. It aims to act to conserve threatened species and ecDocumentNational adaptation strategy to address climate change in the agricultural sector of Guyana: strategy and action plan
Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, 2009This study, commissioned by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) under the Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate Change (MACC) project, set out to identify and understand the extent and depth to which climate change is being integrated into agricultural development practices and decision making in Guyana.DocumentCase study on the impact of climate change on the agriculture of an indigenous community in Guyana
United Nations Development Programme, 2009Much like developing countries, indigenous peoples the world over are among the least responsible for climate change, yet they are expected to be some of those most blighted by its effects.Pages
