Climate vulnerability monitor
DARA, 2012The Climate Vulnerability Monitor 2nd Edition reveals that climate change has already held back global development and inaction is a leading global cause of death.

Climate change, agriculture and food security in Tanzania
The consequences of climate change for agriculture and food security in developing countries are of serious concern.

This paper estimates the impact of climate change on food security in Tanzania.

The results are in turn imposed on a highly-disaggregated, recursive dynamic economy-wide mo ...
