    Policy brief
    The unjust climate
    Measuring the impacts of climate change on the rural poor, women and youth: Summary
    2024
    Also available in:
    Measuring the impacts of climate change on the rural poor, women and youths report assembles an impressive set of data from 24 low- and middle-income countries in five world regions to measure the effects of climate change on rural women, youths and people living in poverty. It analyses socioeconomic data collected from 109 341 rural households (representing over 950 million rural people) in these 24 countries. These data are combined in both space and time with 70 years of georeferenced data on daily precipitation and temperatures. The data enable us to disentangle how different types of climate stressors affect people’s on-farm, off-farm and total incomes, labour allocations and adaptive actions, depending on their wealth, gender and age characteristics. The brief summarizes the key messages and findings.

    Developing policies to foster inclusive rural transformation processes requires better evidence on how climate change is affecting the livelihoods and economic behaviours of vulnerable rural people, including women, youths and people living in poverty. In particular, there is little comparative, multi-country and multi-region evidence to understand how exposure to weather shocks and climate change affects the drivers of rural transformation and adaptive actions across different segments of rural societies and in different agro-ecological contexts. This evidence is essential because, while climate risk and adaptive actions are context specific and require local solutions, global evidence is important for identifying shared vulnerabilities and priority actions for scaling up effective responses. This report assembles an impressive set of data from 24 low- and middle-income countries in five world regions to measure the effects of climate change on rural women, youths and people living in poverty. It analyses socioeconomic data collected from 109 341 rural households (representing over 950 million rural people) in these 24 countries. These data are combined in both space and time with 70 years of georeferenced data on daily precipitation and temperatures. The data enable us to disentangle how different types of climate stressors affect people’s on-farm, off-farm and total incomes, labour allocations and adaptive actions, depending on their wealth, gender and age characteristics.

    Afghanistan: Cold wave assessment on livestock
    Data in Emergencies Impact report, July 2023

    Between December 2022 and January 2023, Afghanistan experienced an extreme cold wave. The central region of Ghor recorded the lowest reading of -33°C. A reported 124 people died from hypothermia and anecdotal sources suggest the loss of a large number of livestock ranging from 70 000 to 200 000. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Data in Emergencies Information System (DIEM) and its Food Security Cluster partners launched an assessment in the aftermath of the cold wave. The assessment aimed to identify the areas most exposed to cold temperatures and losses; analyse the effects and impacts of the cold wave on livestock and livestock-based livelihoods; assess the preparedness measures that mitigated the effects of the cold wave on livestock; and identify suitable response and preparedness interventions. FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
