À partir de l’expérience acquise dans les pays de l’OCDE, le présent rapport met en évidence des formes d’intervention propices à une agriculture durable et résiliente dans l’optique du changement climatique. Les recherches montrent que des facteurs comportementaux influent sur l’efficacité des incitations, en allant dans le sens ou à l’encontre de l’action publique. Aussi faut-il prendre en compte le comportement des agriculteurs pour que les politiques soient à la fois plus efficaces pour l’environnement et plus rentables. En général, les instruments employés sont loin d’avoir les retombées environnementales escomptées, pour des raisons institutionnelles, culturelles, sociales et politiques. Les mesures incitatives, l’éducation et l’information, ainsi que la cohérence et la compatibilité avec les pratiques locales traditionnelles, entrent toutes en jeu dans les résultats enregistrés.

This book takes both a global as well as a local perspective in assessing the impacts of climate change on the economy, agricultural sector, and households in three of the MENA countries; Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. The major channels of impact for global climate change are through changing world food (and energy) prices, especially since all the countries under analysis are or have become net importers of oil and petroleum products and many food commodities in recent years. The impacts of local climate change decrease crop yields in the longer run and through them, productivity in the agricultu

If not addressed in time, climate change is expected to exacerbate Nigeria’s currentvulnerability to weather swings and limit its ability to achieve and sustain the objectivesof Vision 20:2020 [as defined in http://www.npc.gov.ng /home/doc.aspx?mCatID=68253].The likely impacts include:• A long-term reduction in crop yields of 20-30 percent• Declining productivity of livestock, with adverse consequences on livelihoods• Increase in food imports (up to 40 percent for rice long term)• Worsening prospects for food security, particularly in the north and the southwest• A long-term decline in GDP of up to 4.5 percentThe impacts may be worse if the economy diversifies away from agriculture more slowlythan Vision 20:2020 anticipates, or if there is too little irrigation to counter the effects ofrising temperatures on rain-fed yields. Equally important, investment decisions made on the basis of historical climate may bewrong: projects ignoring climate change might be either under- or over-designed, withlosses (in terms of excess capital costs or foregone revenues) of 20-40 percent of initialcapital in the case of irrigation or hydropower.Fortunately, there is a range of technological and management options that make sense,both to better handle current climate variability and to build resilience against a harsherclimate:• By 2020 sustainable land management practices applied to 1 million hectares can offsetmost of the expected shorter-term yield decline; gradual extension of these practices to50 percent of cropland, possibly combined with extra irrigation, can also counter-balancelonger-term climate change impacts.• Climate-smart planning and design of irrigation and hydropower can more than halvethe risks and related costs of making the wrong investment decision.The Federal Government could consider 10 short-term priority responses to buildresilience to both current climate variability and future change through actions toimprove climate governance across sectors, research and extension in agriculture,hydro-meteorological systems; integration of climate factors into the design of irrigationand hydropower projects, and mainstreaming climate concerns into priority programs,such as the Agriculture Transformation Agenda.

This publication aims to assist countries in understanding the specific challenges and opportunities posed by climate change in the agricultural sector in order to increase climate resilience and adapt to climate change. The report presents local-level priorities, informed by stakeholder input, to build agricultural resilience in both countries. The objectives of this study are threefold: 1) to improve the understanding of climate change projections and impacts on rural communities and livelihoods in selected regions of Jordan and Lebanon, specifically the Jordan River Valley and Lebanon's Bek
