A parallel session on the second day at the ongoing 19th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change taking place in Warsaw, Poland supported the views by the African Alliance of Rangeland Management and Development that rising temperatures, droughts and declining precipitation trends are likely to hit pastoral system as well as small scale farmers especially hard, since they depend on rain for their survival, reports Africa Science News.

Delegates heard examples from Gambia, where flood and drought early warning systems help pastoralist farmers, from Bangladesh, where saline resistant crops have been developed.
