Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “In many cases alterations to planting and/or harvest dates are helpful in dealing with climatic changes (Rosenzweig and Tubiello 2007; Bryan et al. 2009).”
Barriers to climate change adaptation: evidence from northeast Ghana in the context of a systematic literature review (2015, result): “The results of both the case study and systematic literature review suggest that financial barriers are key barriers that restrict implementation of adaptation strategies by households (Bryan et al., 2009; Kithiia, 2011).”
Climate volatility deepens poverty vulnerability in developing countries (2009, background): “However, as experiences from South Africa and Ethiopia (Bryan et al 2009) point out, even when farmers are aware of the need for adaptation, through options like different farming practices and irrigation, they may be constrained by institutional factors, like barriers to access to credit and…”
