Title:

Let's act to adapt: Dealing with Climate Change - A community information toolkit on Adaptation - A resource package developed for farmers and natural resource users in the Kunene Region, Namibia

Publication Year:

Abstract:

Many people living in the Kunene Region depend on livestock farming, conservancy related tourism and the use of biodiversity products for their daily livelihoods. All these natural resource-based livelihoods are vulnerable to climate change to some extent. People have already observed the ongoing natural variability and that there are changes in rainfall patterns, and the last few years have been marked by extreme weather conditions. Although it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between naturally variable climatic conditions and climate change, it is clear that climate change will have profound impacts on our lives in the near future. Although it is not possible to predict what effect future climate will have, it is clear that farmers and resource users need the tools to be able to manage associated extreme situations and risks.
