Anmerkung: Weitere Ausgabe: Maddison, David : The Perception of And Adaptation To Climate Change In Africa Beziehung: Reproduktion von, Maddison, David, ¬The Perception of And Adaptation To Climate Change In Africa, 2007, Abstract: The objective of this paper is to determine the ability of farmers in Africa to detect climate change, and to ascertain how they have adapted to whatever climate change they believe has occurred. The paper also asks farmers whether they perceive any barriers to adaptation and attempts to determine the characteristics of those farmers who, despite claiming to have witnessed climate change, have not yet responded to it. The study is based on a large-scale survey of agriculturalists in 11 African countries. The survey reveals that significant numbers of farmers believe that temperatures have already increased and that precipitation has declined. Those with the greatest experience of farming are more likely to notice climate change. Further, neighboring farmers tell a consistent story. There are important differences in the propensity of farmers living in different locations to adapt and there may be institutional impediments to adaptation in some countries. Although large numbers of farmers perceive no barriers to adaptation, those that do perceive them tend to cite their poverty and inability to borrow. Few if any farmers mentioned lack of appropriate seed, security of tenure, or market accessibility as problems. Those farmers who perceive climate change but fail to respond may require particular incentives or assistance to do what is ultimately in their own best interests. Although experienced farmers are more likely to perceive climate change, it is educated farmers who are more likely to respond by making at least one adaptation LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Agriculture LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Carbon dioxide LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Climate LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Climate Change LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Climate change research LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Climate changes LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Climate warming LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Environment LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Fertilization LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Global climate change LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Hazard Risk Management LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Poverty Reduction LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Precipitation LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Rural Development LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Rural Development Knowledge and Information Systems LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Rural Poverty Reduction LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Temperature LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Urban Development Sprache: eng Medium: Online |
