This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change will impact many sectors of the economy: rural agriculture, biodiversity, hydrology, etc. Farmers are particularly affected since agriculture, livestock, fisheries, horticulture and agroforestry depend on specific soil, rainfall and temperature conditions. Mt. Elgons ecosystem is well known for its agricultural production hence our choice to study how the implementation of environmental policies affect the livelihoods of local communities.

Download or read book The Economic Impact of Climate Change on Kenyan Crop Agriculture: A Ricardian Approach written by Jane Kabubo-Mariara and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper measures the economic impact of climate on crops in Kenya. The analysis is based on cross-sectional climate, hydrological, soil, and household level data for a sample of 816 households, and uses a seasonal Ricardian model. Estimated marginal impacts of climate variables suggest that global warming is harmful for agricultural productivity and that changes in temperature are much more important than changes in precipitation. This result is confirmed by the predicted impact of various climate change scenarios on agriculture. The results further confirm that the temperature component of global warming is much more important than precipitation. The authors analyze farmers' perceptions of climate variations and their adaptation to these, and also constraints on adaptation mechanisms. The results suggest that farmers in Kenya are aware of short-term climate change, that most of them have noticed an increase in temperatures, and that some have taken adaptive measures.

This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is expected to bring new challenges and opportunities for the livelihoods of rural communities in Uganda, where more than 80% of the population depends on rain-fed agriculture. The purpose of this review was to analyze national policies on climate change adaptation, agriculture, forests, management of forested and agroforested landscape ecosystems and their goods and services, and the roles of stakeholders in the national arena. Recognizing the role of forest cover in climate change mitigation and adaptation, this review is based on stakeholder engagement and analysis of published literature on the policy, institutional and socioeconomic drivers of forest cover change around Mount Elgon. The bulk of Ugandas forests are on land under private ownership and deforestation has occurred mainly in such forests. Several national laws and international conventions ratified by Uganda offer a framework under which forests are managed. Management of protected forests is shared between central and local authorities. Several natural resource policies are likely to have significant unintended impacts that may enable or limit the adaptation of stakeholders and ecosystems to climate change. The current climate change policy, which is an overarching document that addresses climate change in Uganda, suggests that policy responses, either sector specific or crosscutting in nature, be harmonized in order to better address the challenges associated with climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is considered one of the major global challenges that countries have to contend with in their efforts towards achievement of the sustainable development agenda. Climate change affects not only national and global economy but also has a direct effect on the livelihoods of communities. It is for this reason that there have been global calls on governments and all other stakeholders to put in place climate change mitigation measures and ensure that their economies become resilient. Indeed, climate change is one of the main environmental goals under the United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals as captured under Sustainable Development Goal 13 meant to help countries achieve resilience and build adaptive capacity. However, due to their development activities and approaches, both developed and developing countries have not managed to curb climate change. It is also acknowledged that due to their differing economies and unique challenges, developing countries have far much been affected by climate change compared to the developed countries. Kenya is no exception especially considering that its economy is considered to be agricultural based and much of its rural population is still highly dependent on agriculture and environment to meet their livelihood needs. This has resulted in environmental degradation due to pollution and indiscriminate use of available environmental and natural resources. This paper adds to the existing literature in this area on how the country can successfully combat climate change in its bid to achieve sustainable development. The major argument is that for the country to combat climate change, there is a need for an integrated approach that meaningfully involves all the stakeholders. The Government alone cannot possibly achieve this task. Climate change mitigation is an important step towards achieving sustainability in the country, without which the realization of both the country's Vision 2030 and the United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will remain a mirage.

Download or read book From climate risk to resilience: Unpacking the economic impacts of climate change in Kenya written by Detelinova, Iva and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substantial model variability exists regarding the likely meteorological impact of climate change on Kenya, particularly with respect to future precipitation levels. Significant regional differences are expected, largely due to Kenya’s diverse climate profile. Overall, temperatures are projected to increase while future precipitation levels are highly uncertain. Climate change is expected to significantly affect coastal areas, including because of sea level rise risks, stronger winds, and an overall warmer and drier climate. This will likely harm important ecosystems, including wetlands, mangroves, and coral reefs. Some models project that arid and semi-arid areas may become drier and hotter, which would exacerbate preexisting water scarcity and agricultural challenges for the already vulnerable communities living there. That said, these projections are not corroborated by all models. The climate change impact on other areas, particularly south and west of Mount Kenya, could generally be positive, as it would provide even better conditions for agriculture. The key climate change risk for Kenya is from extreme events, in particular droughts and floods. The frequency and intensity of such events is likely to increase because of climate change. They also often lead to adverse knock-on effects, such as soil erosion, land degradation, and pest breakouts. Overall, Kenya’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) (2020) estimates that between 2010 and 2020, adverse climate change-related events led to annual socioeconomic losses of 3–5 percent of total gross domestic product (GDP).
