This section introduces some basic concepts surrounding the climate system, climate change and climate variability. We will provide some insights into the challenges of climate modelling and what the inherent uncertainty really means for us, before exploring the way adaptation has so far been dis...

Climate change, climate variability and adaptation options
Climate change, defined as any change in the average daily weather pattern over an extended period of time (typically decades or longer) whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity (Easterling et al. 2007, IPCC 2007a), is happening now, and is already affecting many natura...
There is increasing interest to combine adaptation and mitigation measures that provide win–win solutions to climate change. Agroforestry systems offer compelling synergies between adaptation and mitigation. This article reviews the empirical evidence from various studies on how trees and agrofor...
Smallholder farmers are vulnerable to environmental, climate and weather-related stress, including climate change. There is an increase in understanding of the benefits of agroforestry systems both at farm and landscape scales, and that incorporating trees on farms through agroforestry systems ha...

Climate risk adaptation by smallholder farmers: the roles of trees and agroforestry
The aim of this resource book (or ‘toolkit’) is to help farmers and local governments work together to adapt to climate change. Using the exercises (we call them ‘tools’) described in these pages will help you understand the role of trees and agroforests in reducing the impact of extreme weather ...
