Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2013This working paper explores the gender dimensions of access to climate change related information. The effective utilisation of information channels is a crucial aspect of adaptation development, yet the people most at risk are often those on the periphery of information dissemination. This is particularly true for women farmers, who are overwhelmingly excluded from many information channels.DocumentTried and tested: learning from farmers on adaptation to climate change

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2012It has been estimated that over 100 million people could be lifted out of poverty, if women were granted equal access to and control of resources. However, climate change and gender have yet to be implemented into agricultural development in an effective way.DocumentFlexibility of scope, type and temporality in Mustang, Nepal. Opportunities for adaptation in a farming system facing climatic and market uncertainty
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013Climate change is projected to increase the seasonality in river flows in the great river systems of the Himalaya and impose challenges to regional food production. Since climate change increases the uncertainty in local weather patterns, people’s ability to maintain local agricultural production will depend on the adaptability of local farming systems.DocumentMedia perceptions and portrayals of pastoralists in Kenya, India and China

Transnational Institute, 2013This paper argues that REDD+ will not stop forest destruction developing countries and the underlying causes of deforestation remain untouched. The paper suggests that because REDD+ is embedded in the logic that environmental destruction in one location can be ‘compensated’ in another, it acts to reinforce the underlying drivers of deforestation and climate change.DocumentClimate change vulnerability and the use of indigenous technologies for adaptation among smallholder farming communities in sub Saharan Africa
African Journals Online - AJOL, 2012This study presents empirical evidence on whether and how smallholder farming communities are experiencing climate change variability and impacts, as well as the indigenous technologies they have adopted to respond to these effects.
