Nicaragua is particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its geographic, social, economic
and environmental conditions. Increased temperature, fluctuation of precipitation patterns, and
sea-level rise pose significant impacts for agricultural productivity, water resources availability
and th...

Coffee is grown in more than 60 tropical countries on over 11 million ha by an estimated 25 million farmers, most of whom are smallholders. Several regional studies demonstrate the climate sensitivity of coffee (Coffea arabica) and the likely impact of climate change on coffee suitability, yield,...

The production of tropical agricultural commodities, such as cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and coffee (Coffea spp.), the countries and communities engaged in it, and the industries dependent on these commodities, are vulnerable to climate change. This is especially so where a large percentage of the gl...

From site-level to regional adaptation planning for tropical commodities: cocoa in West Africa
Climate change is one of the main threats to rural livelihoods in Central America, especially for small and medium-sized farmers. Climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) integrates biophysical and socioeconomic information to support policy decisions.
We present a CCVA of agricultural live...

The West African cocoa belt, reaching from Sierra Leone to southern Cameroon, is the origin of about 70% of the world's cocoa (Theobroma cacao), which in turn is the basis of the livelihoods of about two million farmers. We analyze cocoa's vulnerability to climate change in the West African cocoa...

Vulnerability to climate change of cocoa in West Africa: patterns, opportunities and limits to adaptation
Liberia is one of the world’s poorest countries. Efforts to rebuild its economy after several years
of internal conflict were partially set back by the 2014–5 Ebola crisis. The country’s lowland
humid climate and land-use history suggest a potential to increase the production of cocoa
(Theobroma ...
