This project is part of the joint Finnish-Netherlands-Ethiopian project Exploring alternative scenarios of adapting to climate change (AlterCLIMA) financed by the Academy of Finland, Development Research programme.
“Ethiopia is highly vulnerable to climate variability and change, due to its dependence on rainfed agriculture, low level of socio-economic development, and limited disaster management skills. Quantitative climate impact assessments on Ethiopian agriculture are scarce. This study is being conducted in two case studies, the Central Rift Valley and North Wollo, differing in environmental conditions, food security, poverty, and adaptive capacity.”
