Pathways to resilience in semi-arid economies

Abstract

This working paper addresses key knowledge gaps on the sources of uncertainty and key sensitivities in crop production under climate change conditions in the world’s semi-arid regions. Changes in global semi-arid areas in response to future climate change and corresponding crop yield are synthesised from a new ensemble of simulation results produced by the Inter-Sectoral Impact Modelling Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP) (www.isi-mip.org)
