Climate Change Vulnerability in the Agricultural Sector

closed

The proposed technical cooperation, focused on research and dissemination, aims to contribute to a better understanding of the general effect of climate change on production and productivity of key crops in the region to guide decision makers and the Bank in the identification, design and execution of alternatives to adapt to these impacts and minimize vulnerability. Specifically this project will use climate change projections to analyze impacts on key crops, perform field experiments to determine the effect of soil temperature on crop production and disseminate findings as well as the methodology employed.
