Training Guide: Gender and Climate Change Research in agriculture and food security for rural development |
|
| Both women and men play a significant role in safeguarding food security, and their respective roles and responsibilities need to be well understood to ensure that men and women benefit equally from climate-smart agriculture practices. Little research, however, has been undertaken to understand how men and women are adapting to climate change, mitigating emissions and maintaining food security.
As one of many steps toward (...) |

Adaptation to Climate-Change in Semi-Arid Environments - Experience and Lessons from Mozambique |
|
| Southern Africa is one of the regions highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Mozambique is one of the least developing countries in the region experiencing this devastating effect on the agricultural livelihood of its rural population. Climate change will have a significant impact on the Limpopo River Basin and its tributaries which flow across the vast areas of the semi-arid plateau of the southern provinces of (...) |

Climate-Smart Agriculture: Smallholder Adoption and Implications for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation |
|
| There are a wide range of agriculture-based practices and technologies that have the potential to increase food production and the adaptive capacity of the food production system, as well as reduce emissions or enhance carbon storage in agricultural soils and biomass. However,
even where such synergies exist, capturing them may entail significant costs, particularly for smallholders in the short-term. In this paper, we (...) |

Climate change adaptation in agricultural investment in East Asia and the Pacific |
|
| In East Asia and the Pacific, climate change brings an additional threat to existing
development challenges for agriculture. This threat is exacerbated by the vulnerability
associated with characteristics common to the bulk of the region including scarce
land and water resources, exposure to climate variability associated with ENSO
(El Niño Southern Oscillation), and frequent extreme weather/climate events – such
as (...) |

Climate change, water and food security |
|
| The impacts of climate change on the global hydrological cycle are expected to vary the patterns of demand and supply of water for agriculture – the dominant user of freshwater. The extent and productivity of both irrigated and rainfed agriculture can be expected to change. As a result, the livelihoods of rural communities and the food security of a predominantly urban population are at risk from water-related impacts (...) |

| It is now widely recognized that the effects of climate change will impact the fisheries sector and result in increased uncertainty in the supply of fish from capture fisheries and aquaculture. The warming of the sea surface, rivers and lakes, changing precipitation, water salinity and ocean acidity and sea level rise will affect marine, coastal and inland environments. Food quality may also be threatened with increased risk (...) |

| Asia is currently home to 87 percent of all people involved globally in fisheries and aquaculture. The sector contributes significantly to the national gross domestic product of many countries in the region and plays a significant role in food security. Between 15 to 54 percent of the annual protein intake in the region comes from fisheries and aquaculture products. The effects of climate change, such as increasing ocean (...) |
