Climate change vulnerability and risk assessment of agriculture and food security in Ethiopia: which way forward?
We apply a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to assess constraining and enabling
factors to the uptake of medium- to long-term climate information in a wide range of sectoral
investment and planning decisions. Common applications of climate information are shown to
relate to adaptatio...
