The note series has been developed to provide a baseline of knowledge on climate change and agriculture for the pilot countries participating in the regional program on reducing vulnerability to climate change in ECA agricultural systems. This note for Macedonia was shared with the Government and other agricultural sector stakeholders and used as an engagement tool for a National Awareness Raising and Consultation Workshop, held in Skopje in May 2010. Feedback and comments on the note from this consultation process have been incorporated into this updated version in collaboration with the Macedonian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy (MAFWE).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL CROPSAGRICULTURAL EDUCATIONAGRICULTURAL EMISSIONSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PESTSAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRACTICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTESAGRICULTURAL SCIENCESAGRICULTURAL SECTORSAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIESAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE PROGRAMAGRICULTURE RESEARCHAGRICULTURE RESEARCH INSTITUTEAGRONOMYAIRANIMAL HEALTHANIMALSANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAWARENESS OF CLIMATE CHANGEBARLEYBIO-GASBIODIVERSITYBIOMASSCAPACITY BUILDINGCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON FERTILIZATIONCATTLECEREALSCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGYCLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGESCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE ISSUESCLIMATE CHANGE RISKSCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATE HAZARDSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE SENSITIVECLIMATESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATIC FACTORSCLIMATIC HAZARDSCOLD WINTERSCONSTRUCTION MATERIALSCROPCROP INSURANCECROP INSURANCE PROGRAMCROP PRODUCTIONCROP RESIDUESCROP ROTATIONSCROP YIELDCROP YIELDSCROPPINGDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDESERTIFICATIONDISEASESDNADROUGHTECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMICSEMISSIONEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMISSIONS SCENARIOEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEUROPEAN COMMISSIONEXPENDITURESEXTENSION AGENCYEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME CLIMATE EVENTSEXTREME CONDITIONSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFAOFARMERSFARMSFEASIBILITYFEEDFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL CAPACITYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFLOODSFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLYFORAGE PRODUCTIONFORESTFOREST FIRESFOREST MANAGEMENTFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFROSTFUELSFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSGCMGHGGHGSGLOBAL EMISSIONSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSIMPACT ASSESSMENTIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTUREIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINVESTMENT DECISIONSIRRIGATIONLAKESLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND RECLAMATIONLAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USE CHANGELANDSLEVELS OF EMISSIONSLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK BREEDINGLIVESTOCK MANURELIVESTOCK SYSTEMSLIVING CONDITIONSLOGGINGMAIZEMAIZE YIELDSMANUREMANURE MANAGEMENTMEAN TEMPERATUREMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMILKNATIONAL CLIMATENATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNEGATIVE IMPACTNITROUS OXIDENITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONSNUTRIENT MANAGEMENTORGANIC AGRICULTUREORGANIC CROPSORGANIC FARMINGORGANIC FARMING SYSTEMSORGANIC FRUITSORGANIC MATTERORGANIC PRODUCEOVERGRAZINGOZONEPASTURESPESTSPOLLUTIONPOLYMERSPRODUCERSRAINRAINFALLRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGERISK MANAGEMENTRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESRURAL POPULATIONSALINIZATIONSCIENTISTSSEASONSF6SHEEPSINKSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL DRAINAGESOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOILSSTORMSSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTEMPERATURETEMPERATURESTOTAL EMISSIONSTREESUNCERTAINTIESUNITED NATIONSVEGETABLE CROPSVEGETABLESVULNERABILITY INDICATORSVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEWARMER CLIMATEWATER RESOURCESWATER USE EFFICIENCYWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWHEATWHEAT YIELDSWINTER CROPSWINTER WHEATBriefWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/21836
