This paper considers the possible impacts of climate change on livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa. It examines in particular the impact of increased climate variability on the livestock assets of pastoralists. The paper concludes with a summary of some of the options for dealing with these types o...
The East African region exhibits considerable climatic and topographic variability. Much spatial and temporal variation in the response of different crops to climate change can thus be anticipated. In previous work we showed that a large part of this variation can be explained in terms of tempera...
There is general consensus that the impacts of climate change on agriculture will add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty, particularly in Africa. While these changes will influence agriculture at a broad scale, regional or country-level asse...
Climate change and increasing climate variability threaten the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and some of the worst effects on human health and agriculture will be in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in vulnerable regions. The relationships between climate change and the vu...
General information about the practices of the IARCs in compensating staff, based on a report prepared by Phillip Thorson in 1978 and early 1979 for the Center Directors. The document includes a summary, study terms of reference, and underlying assumptions of the study. Detailed information about...
Despite the importance of livestock to poor people and the magnitude of the changes that are likely to befall livestock systems, the intersection of climate change and livestock in developing countries is a relatively neglected research area. Little is known about the interactions of climate and ...
Agricultural modellers often need detailed soil profile data with which to run their models. We combine an extensive soil profile database with the Harmonized World Soil Database, a 30 arcsecond raster database of soil information worldwide, and describe a statistical process to identify represen...
