Change Adaptation Policies
Presented by Sepo Hachigonta
All5 Day - Ideas Marketplace

2. Trans-disciplinary approach to CC adaptation research

3. Generating high resolution data relevant
for regional policies
 Downscaling
present day & future
climate data to
district level
 Modelling crop
productivity
responses to CC
 Generating best
crop management
practices for
farmers

4. Climate change adaptation (Benefit and Cost Analysis)
 Collecting baseline data
(livelihoods strategies, crop data,
market data, assets data etc.)
 Assessing the cost and benefit of
adapting to climate change
