Following on from the catastrophic droughts that occurred between 2015 and 2017, and in which p…
The report provides case studies, examples and explanations as to the role of climate information and services to support agriculture in the face of climate variability and change, assesses gaps and makes recommendations. This analysis helps highlight both challenges and opportunities for climate service efforts aimed at promoting climate resilient deve…
This study investigated the existing adaptive capacity for climate change impacts by Small-Scale Farmers Associations (SSFAs) in Swaziland’s sugar industry. The analysis of adaptive capacity considered how the livelihood assets (natural, physical, financial, human and social) as discussed in the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) help promote SSFAs…
As a small Indonesian island, Bali is likely to also be affected by climate change impacts, including rising sea levels, drought, and flooding, which will also impact on its paddy production. This paper shows how the focus area of vulnerability assessments in Bali has been identified, based on multiple assessments including literature reviews, statistical…
This case study focuses on su-re.coffee, a project led by an environmental think-tank, su-re.co, in Jembrana areas in the western part of Bali, Indonesia, which is accountable for roughly thirty per cent of the total rice production of the island.
The project has a twofold aim:
Creating economic opportunities; and
Developing climate change strategi…
Given the current concerns with climate change, projected increases in the frequency, intensity, and duration of droughts and resulting impacts on many sectors, in particular food, water, and energy, there is cause for concern regarding the lack of drought preparedness and appropriate drought management policies for virtually all nations. The time is ri…
The 16th Annual Chatham House conference on climate change will assess what national and international actions must be taken now to manage 21st century climate security challenges. Although disunity remains over how to manage the climate challenge, there is agreement that action is now needed to adapt to the impacts of climate change that can no longer…

The event will highlight the effects of climate change on agricultural sustainability and safety, and agricultural trade trends between developed and developing countries, with a focus on standards and regulatory systems as they relate to animal, plant, and human safety.
The first day of the two-day event will look more generally at the effects of clim…
Australia is a country renowned for its unpredictable climate. These erratic weather patterns have directly contributed to Australia being recognised as having the most variable rainfall of any country in the world. At its worst Australia’s extreme climate has the capacity to manifest as severe weather events.
Please join Dr Geoff Love, the Director of…
Presentations by countries will showcase approaches to climate-smart agriculture – agriculture that sustainably increases productivity, resilience (adaptation), reduces/removes GHGs (mitigation), and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals.
This study is the first attempt to assess how psychological capital affects climate change adaptation amongst smallholder farmers. Climate change remains one of the world’s critical challenges and a key factor hindering progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector has widely been stud…
