The note series has been developed to provide a baseline of knowledge on climate change and agriculture for the pilot countries (including Albania) participating in the Regional Program on Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change in ECA Agricultural Systems. For Albania, this note was shared with the Government and other agricultural sector stakeholders, and used as an engagement tool for the National Awareness Raising and Consultation Workshop on reducing vulnerability to climate change in Albania s agricultural systems, held in Tirana in May 2009. Feedback and comments on the note from this consultation process have been incorporated into this updated version in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Protection (MoAFCP).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTABUNDANT RAINFALLACIDIFICATIONAERATIONAFFORESTATIONAGRICULTURAL EMISSIONSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSALTITUDEANNUAL PRECIPITATIONARABLE LANDBIOMASSCARBONCH4CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGESCLIMATE CHANGE FRAMEWORKCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE ISSUESCLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE CHANGE RISKSCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE FORECASTSCLIMATE HAZARDSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE SENSITIVECLIMATE TRENDSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATIC HAZARDSCOASTAL ZONECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONSTRUCTION MATERIALSCONSUMER PROTECTIONCROP ROTATIONDEFORESTATIONDESERTIFICATIONDNADRAINAGE SYSTEMSDROUGHTECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMICSEFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGEEMISSIONEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXPENDITURESEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME CLIMATE EVENTSEXTREME CONDITIONSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME HEATEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFARMSFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHERIESFLOODSFORAGEFORAGE CROPSFORESTFOREST FIRESFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFROSTGHGGHGSGRASSLANDGREEN HOUSE GASGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORYHYDROMETEOROLOGYIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTUREIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPORTSINCOMEINCREASE IN TEMPERATUREIRRIGATIONLAKESLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USE CHANGELANDSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSLOGGINGMEAN TEMPERATUREMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMOUNTAIN AREASNATIONAL CLIMATENATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGENATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE BASENEGATIVE IMPACTSNITROGENNITROUS OXIDENITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONSOVERGRAZINGPARTNERSHIPPASTUREPASTURESPRECIPITATIONPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCERSPURCHASING POWERRAINRAINFALLRAINFALL PATTERNSRANGELANDRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGERISK MANAGEMENTRIVERRIVERSRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYRURAL LIVELIHOODSSEASEA LEVEL RISESEASONSEASONAL CLIMATESF6SOILSOIL DEGRADATIONSOILSSTORMSSUMMER TEMPERATURESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE USETEMPERATURETEMPERATURE RANGETEMPERATURESTOTAL EMISSIONSVULNERABILITY INDICATORSVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCESWATERSWINDBriefWorld Bank10.1596/21835
