  1. 1. Ready to Respond to Freddy? Shock-Responsive Social Protection for Nutrition in Malawi

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Cecilia Pampararo; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing pace and intensity of climate-related shocks have driven the emergence of international interest around the role of national social protection systems for shock-responsiveness. An increasing number of already vulnerable people is in need of humanitarian assistance, risking to fall into poverty and malnutrition. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Climatic complexity: how do early life weather shocks affect labour income?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Julio Ortega Carrillo; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Foetal origins hypothesis; Mediation Analysis; weather shocks; Young Lives.; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the impact of extreme weather events during gestation and infancy on multiple outcomes, especially early labour income. The subjects are Indian children born between 1993/94 from the Young Lives longitudinal study. The weather shocks are extracted from the NOAA geo-referenced weather data. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Is the Climate Changing for the Climate-Smart? A study on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), Resilience and Hunger

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Beata Ekman; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Could the use of CSA practices stabilize the hunger crisis? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices increase farmers' food security, its resilience to climatic shocks is much less understood. To address this gap, this study analyzes the effect of three CSA practices: inorganic fertilization, intercropping and improved seeding on maize productivity in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

  5. 4. "Are we keeping everyone safe from disasters?" A qualitative case study on how the IFRC promotes an intersectional understanding of gender within disaster risk reduction projects for resilience

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate School

    Författare :Elin Boström; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Resilience; disaster risk reduction; intersectionality; gender; IFRC.; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Following the increasing number of climatic shocks and disasters, the poor and most vulnerable are disproportionately affected as their already exposed situation becomes further worsened. The gendered impacts of climate disasters have demonstrated how women and girls vulnerable position is exacerbated in relation to existing socio-cultural norms and inequalities, making them one of the most vulnerable groups to disasters and climatic shocks.

  7. 5. Is it Smart to be Climate-Smart? The Efficiency of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Tanzania

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Beata Ekman; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Climatic shocks; Climate-Smart Agriculture; Crop Productivity; Tanzania; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Does it pay to adopt Climate-Smart Practices? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices or innovative land management methods increase farmers’ food security, the key to the current debate within the literature is to understand the extent to which CSA practices explain differences in farmers’ productivity and resilience to climatic shocks. To fill this gap, this study examines the variation in crop yields among Tanzanian farmers across three CSA practices: intercropping, inorganic fertilization, and improved seeding. LÄS MER
