Side Event at the Thematic Sessions of the #AfricaClimateWeek 2021: Agricultural production is highly weather-dependent in sub-Saharan Africa. The risk of yield losses increases even further under climate change, posing a threat to farmers’ income and livelihood. However, despite the availability of a wide range of adaptation strategies, information on their suitability at the local scale is limited. In this session, ways towards risk-informed adaptation policy-making and actions for climate-resilient development are discussed. A recent collaborative research project in northern Ghana conducted a study that identified adaptation options suitable to minimize present and future climate impacts. Based on results from this study the event seeks to identify best practices and design principles for better integrating climate information into adaptation actions on a local and regional scale.
