Summary: Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In many countries, such as the fourexamined in Looking Beyond the Horizon, the risks of climate change are an immediate and fundamentalproblem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture forits livelihood.The risks of climate change to agriculture cannot be eff ectively dealt with-and the opportunities cannot beeff ectively exploited-without a clear plan for aligning agricultural policies with climate change, developingthe capabilities of key agricultural institutionsPPN: PPN: 834960044Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-110-WBL | ZDB-1-WBA | ZDB-110-WBO
