Climate change is projected to have serious impacts on the agriculture of southern Africa, affecting food availability, creating local production shortfalls and resulting in rising commodity prices. This report highlights the risks to agriculture and food systems that may occur in two counties of...


Vergage, FabianCramer, LauraThornton, Philip K.Campbell, Bruce M.[Climate risk assessment and agricultural value chain prioritisation for Malawi and Zambia]Climate risk assessment and agricultural value chain prioritisation for Malawi and Zambia

This paper identifies sixteen cases of large-scale actions in the agriculture and forestry sectors that have adaptation and/or mitigation outcomes, and distils lessons from the cases. The cases cover policy and strategy development (including where climate-smart objectives were not the initial ai...
