Hertel, Thomas W.Rosch, Stephanie D.2012-03-192012-03-192010-11-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/3949Although much has been written about climate change and poverty as distinct and complex problems, the link between them has received little attention. Understanding this link is vital for the formulation of effective policy responses to climate change. This paper focuses on agriculture as a primary means by which the impacts of climate change are transmitted to the poor, and as a sector at the forefront of climate change mitigation efforts in developing countries. In so doing, the paper offers some important insights that may help shape future policies as well as ongoing research in this area.CC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTADEQUATE PRECIPITATIONADVERSE IMPACTSADVERSE SELECTIONAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSAGRICULTUREAIRAIR QUALITYALLOCATIONASYMMETRIC INFORMATIONATMOSPHEREBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOENERGYBIOMASSBIOMASS ENERGYBIRDSCALCULATIONCARBON CAPCARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FERTILIZATIONCARBON OFFSETCARBON OFFSETSCARBON PRICESCASE STUDIESCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATE EXTREMESCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATESCLOUDSCOCO2COASTAL AREASCONSERVATIONCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION MATERIALSCONSUMPTION IMPACTSCROP PRODUCTIONCROPLANDCROPSDAMAGESDEFORESTATIONDEGRADED LANDDEGRADED LANDSDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDISCOUNT RATESDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTSDRINKING WATERDROUGHTDROUGHT CONDITIONSDYESECOLOGICAL ECONOMICSECOLOGICAL SYSTEMSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSESECONOMIC ANALYSES OF CLIMATE CHANGEECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MODELECONOMIC VALUEECONOMISTSECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEMSEL NINOEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTUREEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPIRICAL RESEARCHEMPIRICAL STUDIESENERGY ECONOMICSENERGY SOURCESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL GOODSENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCHENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTSEQUILIBRIUMEROSIONETHANOLEXPENDITURESEXTREME CLIMATE EVENTSEXTREME EVENTEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME HEATEXTREME HEAT EVENTSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREME PRECIPITATIONEXTREME PRECIPITATION EVENTSEXTREME WEATHERFARMSFINANCIAL MARKETSFISHFIXED COSTSFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTFOREST CARBONFOREST CARBON SEQUESTRATIONFOREST COVERFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST PROJECTFOREST USEFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSIL FUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL SWITCHINGFUELSGCMGENERAL CIRCULATION MODELGEOGRAPHIC AREASGHGGHGSGLOBAL CARBON TAXGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GASGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATIONGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER SOURCESGROWING SEASONHABITATSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSINGIMPACT ANALYSISIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINCOME HOUSEHOLDSINELASTIC DEMANDINSURANCEINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE MARKETINSURANCE MARKETSINSURANCE PAYMENTSINSURANCE SCHEMESIPCCLABOR MARKETSLAND ECONOMICSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND USELOCAL FOREST PRODUCTSLOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDSLOWER PRICESMANGROVESMETHANEMITIGATIONMONSOONSNATIONAL SCALENATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNITROUS OXIDENITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONSPLANT SPECIESPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTANTSPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION GROWTHPPPRECIPITATIONPRECIPITATION EVENTSPRICE CHANGESPRICE ELASTICITIESPRICE EXPECTATIONSPRICE IMPACTSPRICE INCREASEPRICE VOLATILITYPROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONPROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONSPRODUCERSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODRADIATIONRAINRAINFALLRANGESRATIONAL EXPECTATIONSREDUCING EMISSIONSREGIONAL CLIMATERELATIVE PRICERESINSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGERICE PRODUCTIONRISK AVERSIONRISK MANAGEMENTSOIL CARBONSOILSSPATIAL EXTENTSPECIESSTATISTICAL STUDIESSUBSTITUTIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGICAL CHANGETEMPERATURETIMBERTOTAL COSTSTRANSACTIONS COSTSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETROPICAL FORESTTROPICAL REGIONSTROPICSWAGESWAVESWEATHER INSURANCEWETLANDSWILDLIFEWILDLIFE RESOURCESWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-5468
