Understanding both the direct as well as the indirect effects of climate change is not only fundamental for the design of mitigation and adaptation strategies; whether by addressing the direct impacts of geographical factors, or by addressing their indirect effects on the socio-political environment, mitigation and adaptation strategies are also fundamental as key elements of broader development strategies. Moreover, as climate shocks disproportionally affect the poor, addressing climate-related risks is also a sound strategy in terms of addressing inequality and poverty reduction.application/pdfenPATHWAYS TO RESILIENCE IN SEMI-ARID ECONOMIES (PRISE) PROJECTTANZANIAINTERACTIONS BETWEEN INSTITUTIONSCLIMATEDEVELOPMENTDIRECT EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINDIRECT EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEGEOGRAPHICAL FACTORSSOCIO-POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTBROADER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESINEQUALITY AND POVERTY REDUCTIONCLIMATE SHOCKSECONOMYADAPTATION STRATEGIESSEMI-ARID REGIONSAFRICAASIAKENYAPAKISTANSENEGALTAJIKISTANWorking Paper
