Outline

• Livelihoods Diversity and Networks (NOAA HD)

• ENSO Climate Variability and Use of Information – CPAs (WB CIP)

• Adapting to change (SANREM CRSP)

• Purpose – focus on diversity, access and implications for adaptation (Loeb et al, 2008; Brown and Funk, 2008, Science)

Rural Livelihood Strategies

Assets

+ Production and Consumption are interlinked+ Markets are unreliable+ Limited credit markets + Smoothing of consumption may deplete productive assets+ Social dimensions to accessing resources are relevant

Page 5: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Coping and Adapting

Ex-ante:• Income Smoothing

– Diversifying: – within agriculture– selling labor – Value added– > less covariant

activities• Portfolio Diversity -

number and share of income activities

Ex-post:• Consumption Smoothing

– Loans– Sale of assets– Migration

Adapting:• Activities more resilient to

climate variability

Main constraints to the growth in production after el Niño in the Altiplano:Lack of seed in all groupsLack of cash in the agricultural and passiveLack of more land on the agricultural and passive

Sources of information about climate forecasts for decisions:Local knowledge systemsKnowledge from grandparentsLocal networks

Limited outside sources of information 4%Concern with climate risk a function of ability to cope with shock

– differences between rural and the other two groups

KEY FINDINGS

Page 14: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Climate Events: Impacts in the North

– Floods during El Niño – Floods also during non Niño heavy rains– Dry and Cold spells in consecutive years (two,

three, or four years)– Forest fires following Niño years– Disease outbreaks during Niño years– Concerns vary according to location,

production activities, technological alternatives

Page 16: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Climate Events: Impacts in the South– Spatial variability in the presentation of

droughts, floods, frosts, and hail events – Droughts during Niño years, in some but not all

communities in same year– Floods during wet years from the Lake – Upper respiratory diseases during cold spells– Concerns vary according to location,

production activities, technological alternatives: loss of animals, loss of crops, raw materials

Page 17: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Coping Strategies

In the Northern Coast• Selling of livestock• Over-harvesting in dry

forest - deforestation• Collective strategies

during floods• Individual strategies

during droughts• Migration of adult males

and youth to the jungle and the coast

Southern Altiplano• Selling of livestock• Selling of wool and

handcrafts• Stinting on food in the

family• Informal trade• Migration of male adults

and youth • Non market institutions:

access to land, seed, labor (social reciprocity relations)

Page 18: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Role of Climate InformationInformation About El Niño• Awareness and trust in the

North; • Radio is a trusted source;

official forecasting sources “not trusted”;

• Scale is a constraint in the forecasts for the Altiplano region;

• El Niño forecasts listened to in radio in the Altiplano perceived as “belonging” to the coast;

• While a connection between El Niño and drought occurrence appears to exist in the Altiplano … multiple shocks

Local Knowledge Indicators• Local scale biological and

physical indicators in the North and the Altiplano

• Perceptions that climate is changing, difficulties “reading” the indicators

• Local knowledge exists for agriculture and fisheries

• Loss of knowledge among the youth

• Use knowledge differs between the North and the Altiplano

Page 19: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Barriers to Adaptation

In All Communities• Limited understanding and

access to local and regional governance structures

• Progressive loss of assets leading to poverty trap

• Lack of access to credit• Lack of insurance mechanisms• Lack of technological

alternatives• Lack of trust in information of

forecasts• Erosion of social structures

due to migration (local knowledge)

In the Altiplano• Multiple and consecutive

shock events- uncertainty• Lack of understanding of

presentation of the hail, frost, and flood events: landscape

In the North Coast• Isolation during periods of

drought• Flood relocation conflicts• Long periods of stress during

dry years

Adapting to Change

Page 22: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Adapting to Change Five Objectives -– Shared understanding of drivers of change in Andean

Ecosystems – Local knowledge and response to perceptions of

relative risks associated with drivers and other risks – Practices and information that explicitly link local and

new knowledge to adapt to change – Market integration opportunities and institutions that

contribute to adaptation – Build capacities and capabilities to adapt to change –

pathways to enable agency

Rees Valdivia and Marks – assets and off farm income matter in perceptions of risk

Page 37: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Synthesis – Lessons to Date • Climate impacts on livelihood assets, and

therefore on ability to recover – locality and variation

• Land fragmentation and shocks – off farm and migration at region and local levels – variation

• Markets have multiple effects:– Secure prices, an incentive mediated by the type of

natural capitals accessed (forages an example of dairy development) – long term

– Incentives may lead to increases in vulnerability to climate if specialization – evaluation of portfolios & TC

– Coping with shocks – asset depletion – lack of contingency markets – high degree of covariant shocks - further research

– Niches that value biodiversity – further research

Page 38: I. Climate Change Variability and Andean Agriculture: The Context SANREM CRSP LTR4: Adapting to Change in the Andes Practices and Strategies to Address

Synthesis – Lessons to Date • Role of climate information in decisions –

networks, local knowledge to date – disconnect to outside sources - local

• Approaches to integrate new knowledge – climate and participatory approaches –climate trends and scenarios

• Social and political capitals as elements of agency for adaptation – climate scenarios and trends
