Global climate change poses great risks to poor people whose livelihoods
depend directly on agriculture, forestry, and other natural resource
uses. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has
launched a new Climate Change webpage that features its research on the
assessment of, adaptation to, and mitigation of these risks. Highlights
include a BMZ-funded research project that seeks to help policymakers
and stakeholders in Ethiopia and South Africa develop climate change
adaptation strategies. As modeling is a major focus of IFPRI’s current
work on climate change, the page links to explanations of its analysis
using IFPRI’s IMPACT model and the MIRAGE model. The page also includes
podcasts, a 2-page brochure of IFPRI’s climate change work, and a new
paper on the Impact of Climate Change and Bioenergy on Nutrition.
