Because vulnerability is a conceptual construct rather than a directly observable phenomenon,
most vulnerability assessments measure a set of “vulnerability indicators”. In order to identify
the core approaches and range of variation in the field, we conducted a systematic literature
review on lo...

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...

Identifying constraining and enabling factors to the uptake of medium- and long-term climate information in decision making
There is increasing interest in using systematic review to synthesize evidence on the social and environmental effects of and adaptations to climate change. Use of systematic review for evidence in this field is complicated by the heterogeneity of methods used and by uneven reporting. In order to...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the policy environment in Senegal influences pastoral climate change adaptation. The analysis of the link between policy environment and pastoral adaptation is based on a case study in the Ngnith municipality of the Senegal River delta and other localit...

Pastoral adaptation and policy environment: How discourses shape knowledge, policy and adaptation
This brief is based on analysis of how past and present policy processes affect the capacity of pastoralists to adapt to climate change in Senegal, using Ngnith Municipality in the delta of the Senegal River as a case study. Drawing on a combination of literature review and original fieldwork. Ou...

The dairy sector in Kenya produces over 4 billion liters of milk per year and supports 1.3 million producer households with a vital contribution to incomes and nutrition. However, total national production fails to meet demand. There is a need for increased efforts to support value chain developm...

Governance of food systems is a poorly understood determinant of food security.
Much scholarship on food systems governance is non-empirical, while existing
research is often case study-based and theoretically and methodologically
incommensurable. This frustrates aggregation of evidence and gener...
