I empirically measure the effectiveness of high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds and irrigation in adapting to climate-related agricultural productivity shocks using data on agriculture production from 1966 to 2011. I find that the usage of these additional inputs in production reduces the impact of...

Climate change and land use change are crucial determinants of crop water consumption, particularly in drylands where water scarcity limits crop production. In Central Asia, the effects of land use and climate changes on crop water consumption remain unknown. We estimated the dynamics of crop...

This paper investigates the relationship between climate change, macroeconomic variables and indigenous livestock production in Nigeria over the period 1981-2023 using fractional integration and multivariate regression methods. More specifically, it examines how temperature and precipitation...

Forest Farm Carbon Sink Projects (FFCSPs) represent a promising strategy for mitigating global climate change and improving public health. While the direct effects of such projects on carbon sequestration and participants' income are well researched, the potential co-benefits of FFCSPs on human...

This study examines the long-term impact of childhood exposure to Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) on adult human capital outcomes in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region. Using historical GLOF data and geospatial mapping of downstream flood pathways, we identify treatment and control groups...

This open access book offers innovative contributions to the climate-migration-health nexus and the role of regional governance in this nexus, emphasizing the importance of interregional cooperation in addressing these challenges. It considers climate change as an intensifier of leading to...

Carbon pricing is widely recognized as a key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, if implemented without compensatory measures, it can increase poverty and inequality. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of carbon pricing in generating fiscal space for expanding social...
