Описание: Over the past few decades, agriculture and related sectors in West Africa have been challenged by climate change, which has become one of the most important developmental issues in the region. Whereas negative environmental and socio-economic impacts have been extensively documented in West Africa, future climate projections suggest that the situation will only get worse if relevant actions are not taken. Indeed, most of the West African countries remain characterized by a limited use of production technologies and information, and local economies heavily rely on a rain-fed agriculture.Despite the increasing number of studies focusing on climate change related issues, the methodological (i.e., conceptual and analytical) approaches seem to become stagnant with mixed practical results in terms of mitigation and adaptation outcomes. Against this backdrop, the forthcoming book is aimed at showcasing innovative and promising approaches that can be used to advance our current knowledge of climate change trends, impacts, vulnerability, resilience and adaptation in West Africa.With the focus on agriculture and environment, the book compiles the latest developments in climate change research in West Africa by providing an overview of recent approaches used to better understand the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation to climate change. It also considers the methods and frameworks for assessing the sustainability of climate change adaptation.

Автор: Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Название: Livestock Activity Data Guidance (L-ADG): Methods and guidance on compilation of activity data for Tier 2 livestock GHG inventories ISBN: 9251321175 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251321171 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 54510.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The purpose of the Livestock Activity Data Guidance (L-ADG) is to improve the accuracy of livestock emission estimates in national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and enable countries to measure and report progress towards their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Livestock emissions – including enteric fermentation, manure management and emissions from dung and urine deposited on pasture – account for about 11 percent of global GHG emissions.
A recent review found that among 140 developing countries, 92 have included livestock-related emissions in their NDCs. However, very few have national GHG inventories that are able to track changes in livestock emissions resulting from mitigation policies and measures, which requires a Tier 2 approach as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This occurs because a lack of activity data and incomplete or poor-quality data hamper the use of the Tier 2 approach.
The L-ADG focuses on estimating activity data from the main ruminant types found in developing countries - cattle, sheep and goats - and provides guidance on how to: identify and assess the availability and quality of existing activity data; structure a Tier 2 inventory to make use of available data; compile activity data when data exists but is incomplete or of insufficient quality; estimate activity data when data is missing; and assess the quality of data and identify priorities for continuous improvement.
Название: Managing Climate Risks Through Social Protection: Reducing Rural Poverty and Building Resilient Agricultural Livelihoods ISBN: 9251318840 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251318843 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 39730.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: This report shows that managing climate risks through social protection is a valid and effective investment to safeguard the livelihoods of small-scale producers and strengthen their essential role in ensuring food security across the globe.
Climate change is accelerating the frequency and intensity of extreme natural hazards and those living in rural areas are disproportionately affected. Life in high-risk geographical locations, heavy reliance on agriculture and natural resources, limited coping capacity as a result of low incomes, lack of savings, weak social networks, and low asset bases are all contributing factors.
This paper argues that, given the imminent challenges climate change poses for poverty reduction and sustainable development, the need for coherent and integrated climate risk management approaches addressing the underlying causes of vulnerability – as well as increasing the ability of the rural poor to adapt to and cope with natural hazards ? has never been more pressing.
