Agroforestry, livestock, fodder production and climate change adaptation and mitigation in East Africa: issues and options
Agroforestry and livestock-keeping both have the potential to promote anthropogenic climate changeresilience, and understanding how they can support each other in this context is crucial. Here, we discuss relevant issues in East Africa, where recent agroforestry interventions to support livestockkeeping have included the planting of mostly-exotic tree-fodders, and where most parts of the region...
متن کاملVulnerability and adaptation to climate change in the Comoe River Basin (West Africa)
Climate change is impacting water users in many sectors: water supply, farming, industry, hydropower, fishing, housing, navigation and health. Existing situations, like population growth, movement of populations from rural to urban areas, poverty and pollution can aggravate the impacts of climate change. The aim of the study is to evaluate the vulnerability of different water user groups to cli...
متن کاملLong-term tsetse and trypanosomiasis management options in West Africa
Tsetse transmitted animal trypanosomiasis (T&T) is a complex disease that directly and indirectly impacts Africa’s crop and livestock agriculture. This awareness has generated over the past decade a drive and political will towards solving the problem at the continental scale. In his paper the authors use state of he art spatial tools to study how, for West Africa, the variety of agro-ecologica...
متن کاملData Integration for Climate Vulnerability Mapping in West Africa
Vulnerability mapping reveals areas that are likely to be at greater risk of climate-related disasters in the future. Through integration of climate, biophysical, and socioeconomic data in an overall vulnerability framework, so-called “hotspots” of vulnerability can be identified. These maps can be used as an aid to targeting adaptation and disaster risk management interventions. This paper rev...
متن کاملNiches, models, and climate change: assessing the assumptions and uncertainties.
As the rate and magnitude of climate change accelerate, understanding the consequences becomes increasingly important. Species distribution models (SDMs) based on current ecological niche constraints are used to project future species distributions. These models contain assumptions that add to the uncertainty in model projections stemming from the structure of the models, the algorithms used to...
