It is predicted that the effects of
climate change, especially extreme floods and droughts, will
significantly affect the worlds fragile and least developed
countries. Yemen, with its struggling economy and various
levels of fagility and conflict, faces daunting development
challenges. Challenged with diminishing water resources,
increasing reliance on agriculture half of which is rain-fed
and frequent floods and droughts, Yemenis face the daunting
task of coping with the potentially devastating effects of
climate variability and further climate change as the growth
of global greenhouse gas emissions continues apace. It is
estimated that climate change induced price increases will
increase agricultural gross domestic product (GDP), while
decreasing real household incomes and food security. Yemen
has approached this task by creating a strategic program for
climate resilience, encouraging donor support for climate
related projects, and requiring cross-government
implementation of climate-smart policies. The pilot program
for climate resilience (PPCR) is making the first
significant investment in Yemen. The program is
demonstrating ways in which climate risk and resilience can
be incorporated into developmental planning and the daily
decisions of people. |
