| description |
The Republic of Yemen, situated on the
southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the poorest
countries in the world. In addition to significant
development challenges, Yemen is particularly vulnerable to
climate change. Rainfall is erratic and variable, a
situation made worse by high evapotranspiration rates.
Sustainable social and economic development in Yemen depends
on knowledge of climate variability and change, and reliable
and actionable meteorological and hydrological forecasts and
warnings. Upgrading weather, climate and water information
will reduce vulnerabilities to natural hazards and increase
food and water security. Yemen is particularly reliant on
its natural resources outside the extractive industries.
Agriculture plays a leading role in Yemen's economy and
employs more than half of the labor force. Through the Pilot
Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), Yemen aims to better
manage water resources, increasing agricultural productivity
and reducing the risk of climate-sensitive diseases. This
will be done by improving the monitoring and assessment of
climate variability and change and providing targeted and
reliable information for decision making. |
