Association Mapping for Enhancing Maize (Zea mays L.) Genetic Improvement (2011, background): “However, the challenge to successfully replicate the Asian Green Revolution in Africa is confounded by a multitude of environmental stresses that are becoming more dynamic due to climate change and thus create a highly diffi cult target environment for maize breeders and farmers (Collier et al., 200”
The Impact of Weather Anomalies on Migration in sub-Saharan Africa (2012, background): “[21], efforts aiming at making crops less sensitive to weather anomalies are the most obvious policy recommendation.”
Smallholder adaptation to climate change: dynamics and limits in Northern Ghana (2012, background): “…marthawo@yahoo.com degradation and global climate change lead to declining yields and the increasing unreliability of local agricultural production systems in an area where the economies of most countries still largely depend on crop growing (Boko et al. 2007: 452ff, Collier et al. 2008: 338).”
Crop diversification as a smallholder livelihood strategy within semi-arid agricultural systems near Mount Kenya (2015, background): “In Africa, the proportion of arid- and semi-arid lands is expected to increase by 5–8% by the 2080s in large part due to depleted water resources (Collier et al., 2008).”
The effect of climate change and adaptation policy on agricultural production in Eastern Africa (2016, background): “…is further exacerbated by the limited adaptive capacity in the region due to traditional and inefficient adaptation by farmers (Jagtap and Chan 2000), poor economic policies (IPCC 2001) and limited administrative capacity to implement and enforce policy changes (Collier, Conway, and Venables 2008).”
Climate-change policy: why has so little been achieved? (2008, background): “5 See the paper by Paul Collier, Gordon Conway, and Tony Venables in this issue ( Collier et al., 2008 ).”
Climate change and poverty in Africa (2009, background): “In addition, while there are some actions that Africans can take, as discussed in this work, by far, as also pointed out by Collier et al. (2008), the most important aspects of relief for Africa are the implications of the mitigation strategies chosen by the developed countries.”
Exploring consensus in 21st century projections of climatically suitable areas for African vertebrates (2011, background): “The African continent is predicted to be one of the most vulnerable to 21st century climatic changes (Boko et al. , 2007; Collier et al. , 2008).”
