| description |
Recent assessments by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate
that many regions of the world will experience biome-level
changes, suggesting that areas that presently feature
deserts, rainforest, or tundra may no longer have the same
type of vegetation by the end of this century. As biomes
shift, so will the spatial distribution of
natural-ecosystems and agro-ecological zones. Likewise, the
distribution patterns of plants, diseases and pests, fish
populations and ocean circulation will change, causing
potentially significant impacts on food production and
livelihoods. This study focuses on MENA, due to current high
levels of water stress and a long history of autonomous
adaptation knowledge and practices linked to changing
patterns of temperature and rainfall. The study sites
selected in cooperation with national counterparts reflect
important rainfed areas in the main agro-ecological zones
defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO). The key findings for all the four
countries are presented in this report. |
