Even though much has been written about climate change and poverty as distinct and complex problems, the link between them has received little attention. Understanding this link is vital for the formulation of effective policy responses to climate change. In this article, we focus on agriculture as a primary means by which the impacts of climate change are transmitted to the poor, and as a sector at the forefront of climate change mitigation efforts in developing countries. In so doing, we offer some important insights that may help shape future policies as well as ongoing research in this area.

Poverty and climate change: introduction (2018, background): “Taking a comprehensive view of farm households – looking at both their consumption and production – Hertel and Rosch (2010) argue that these households may benefit from climate impacts if the shock is widespread, farm-level demand for their production is inelastic (while supply response is low),…”
The Poverty Implications of Climate-Induced Crop Yield Changes by 2030 (2010, background): “productivity shocks on farm incomes hinge critically on the extent to which rural producers are integrated into markets; if they are price-takers for outputs, then the income effects of such a productivity shock depend critically on the farm-level price elasticity of demand facing producers (Hertel ”

Extreme vulnerability of smallholder farmers to agricultural risks and climate change in Madagascar (2014, background): “These range from high-level transformations (such as changes in agricultural policies, economic development policies, poverty reduction strategies, public safety nets, market reforms, institutional arrangements and governance structures; [5,8,12,14,18,27]) to more local-level actions, which aim to d”
Ending Extreme Poverty and Sharing Prosperity: Progress and Policies (2015, background): “Climate change may become another important drag on poverty reduction in many countries (Field 2014; Hertel and Rosch 2010; Leichenko and Silva (2014); Skoufias, Rabassa, and Olivieri 2012].”
