Understanding drought risk management in vulnerable communities in dryland farming systems
Role of social capital in agricultural diversification
Studies have explored social capital (SC) in diverse ways. Still, little is known in the literature about how its functional areas, including bonding, bridging and linking relationships, interact to facilitate sustainable development, particularly in agricultural diversification. We address this gap by using the rural web and the social capital frameworks to (1) analyse factors influencing SC and (2) assess the relationship between SC and agricul…

Mainstreaming Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices in Climate-Sensitive Policies for Resilient Agricultural Systems in Ghana
Policymakers underestimate the extensive role of indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in national climate adaptation action. Drawing from the mainstreaming theory, this study examined the extent to which ILK systems have been mainstreamed into Ghana’s climate policy framework for realizing adaptation outcomes in agriculture and rural development. The study employed qualitative approaches including content analysis of policy documents and 15 key i…
Climate Information Services Available to Farming Households in Northern Region, Ghana
Climate information services can build the resilience of African farmers to address the increasing threats associated with climate change. This study used household surveys with 200 farmers and focus group discussions to identify the types of climate information services available to farming households in two selected districts (Tolon and Nanton) in the Northern Region of Ghana. The study also identified the dissemination channels and the barrier…
Equity in climate scholarship
We -the Editors of Climate and Development -react in both delight and dismay to the 'Hot List' of 1000 influential scholars in climate change published by Reuters 1 on 20 April 2021.Delight because the compilation of such a list demonstrates the critical importance of climate change as a major global challenge, celebrating climate change knowledge-holders who are at the forefront of ground-breaking and influential thinking and research.As a clima…
A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
Trends and drivers of land cover changes in a tropical urban forest in Ghana
This study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the trends and drivers of land use and land cover changes from 1991 to 2015 in an urban forest reserve in Ghana. The specific objectives were to: i) determine the extent of land cover changes in the urban forest, and ii) ascertain the factors driving land cover changes in the urban forest. The study employed Landsat satellite images using ENVI to detect trends of land cover changes from …
Identifying user needs for weather and climate services to enhance resilience to climate shocks in sub-Saharan Africa
The vulnerability of social-ecological systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to climate variability and change means that there is an urgent need to better integrate weather and climate information into societal decision-making processes. Long-term climate adaptation in these regions has received increasing attention, with recent initiatives aiming to increase resilience to climate change at timescales of years to decades. Less focus has been given…
Small-holder farmers’ climate change adaptation practices in the Upper East Region of Ghana
Adaptation opportunities and maladaptive outcomes in climate vulnerability hotspots of northern Ghana
How climate change adaptation practices can constrain development and deliver maladaptive outcomes in vulnerability hotspots is yet to be explored in-depth using case study analyses. This paper explores the effects of climate change coping and adaptation responses in three case study villages across the Central Gonja district of northern Ghana. The study addresses the following research questions: i) What are the key climatic and non-climatic str…
