Les modèles agricoles et climatiques sont capables de pré-dire l’impact du changement climatique sur les rende-ments de différentes récoltes dans diverses régions. Cet impact est toutefois difficile à prévoir sur la vie des indivi-dus. Chaque groupe ou type de personnes vivra différemment les con...

Implications de la recherche centrée sur le genre au Sénégal pour l’adaptation au changement climatique
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing soil or biomass carbon stocks are the main agricultural pathways to mitigate climate change. Scientific and policy attention has recently turned to evaluating the potential of practices that can increase soil carbon sequestration. Forty perce...

Global food chains and increasingly interlinked economies mean countries need to work together to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.
As climate change pushes livestock, crop and tree production systems towards new realities, societies may seek more comprehensive solutions. Examples of truly radical adaptation — pre-emptive actions at scale that address the root causes of climate risks and reduce climatic footprint — are still ...
