Cocoa climate risk assessment tool: Site specific guidance on climate change in cocoa areas
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139573
Abstract
Adaptation to climate change is site specific. Climate impacts are not uniform, they differ by the degree and quality of hazards. This tool allows you to conduct a rapid assessment of climatic changes in cocoa zones to guide interventions. First, you will learn about changes already manifest to date, then about future climate projections. Anticipatory adaptation is first guided by the degree of…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139582
Abstract
Uganda currently hosts about 1.5 million refugees. Only a fraction is likely to revert to their home countries.

Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137517
Abstract
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses. Recognized ILA design principles provide guidance for implementation, yet application remains challenging, and a strong performance evidence-base is yet to be formed. Through a critical literature review and focus group…
