Modeling the economywide effects of water and energy interventions in the face of climate change
The Ethiopian economy relies predominantly on rainfed agriculture for income generation, export earnings, and rural livelihoods.
Substantial model variability exists regarding the likely meteorological impact of climate change on Kenya, particularly with respect to future precipitation levels.
Climate change is projected to cause an increase in average temperatures in Zambia and a decline in rainfall, particularly in the southern and western regions.
Changes in frequency and intensity of climate and weather events are a key challenge to agricultural production among farmers in Zambia.
Sustainable food production needs to increase if it is to meet the rising and evolving food demands caused by growing populations, increasing incomes and urbanization. However, it faces numerous challenges.
