Ten new insights in climate science 2025
Non-Technical Summary This review highlights 10 recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, spanning diverse topics: (1) the global temperature jump of 2023–2024; (2) sea surface warming and marine heatwaves; (3) land carbon sinks; (4) interactions between climate change and biodiversity loss; (5) accelerated groundwater decline; (6) global dengue incidence; (7) income and labour productivity loss; (8) strategic conside…
Climate risk adaptation through livestock insurance
This study investigates the option of choosing index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) to mitigate the adverse effects associated with climate change in Kwara State, Nigeria. Previous studies indicate that the failure to include farmers during the early stage of pilot programme design is a major factor in Africa’s poor participation rate in index insurance. We conducted a survey with 392 farming households across eight of the state's 16 Local Gove…
Farmers’ willingness to accept compensation to control agricultural nonpoint source pollution
Different farmers require different compensation payments to be incentivized to participate in water quality improvement-related agri-environmental schemes (AESs) and payment for ecosystem services (PESs). This is because they differ in their farm management practices, cost structures and attitudinal characteristics. However, these differences are rarely characterized in the design and implementation of AESs and PESs in the Global South. Using a …
Clean Energy Adoption in Developing Countries
Cooking with relatively clean fuel has numerous benefits, including reducing pollution and improving health and socioeconomic outcomes. Hence, some developing countries have implemented policies to promote LPG use. However, risks of accidents and explosions may prevent risk-averse households from adopting LPG. This study examines the causal effect of risk aversion on the adoption and expenditure of LPG using the seventh round of the Ghana Living …
Rethinking responses to the world’s water crises
Public transfers and crowding-in and -out of private transfers
Study of the Hunger Safety Net Program (HSNP) to pastoralists in Northern Kenya. • We test whether the shock to household income due to HSNP affects private transfers. • We exploit the RCT set-up of HSNP to control for the endogeneity of income. • Rise in income is associated with a decline (rise) in transfers received (given). • In general, traditional transfer dynamics seem altered due to public programs. In rural areas of developing countries,…
The development outcomes of remittance inflows to Nigeria
Remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) constitute a critical lifeline for millions of individual households. It is on record that these large transfers enable recipient households to raise their living standards beyond vulnerability and subsistence levels. Unfortunately, the development potentials of remittance income are seldom factored into most pro-poor targeting programmes in many SSA countries like Nigeria. This is largely due to the proble…
