Climate change has become one of the greatest contemporary challenges to humanity.The increasing variability in precipitation with recurrent extremes between too much rain (floods) and too little rain (severe droughts) have made rural livelihoods dependent on rain-fed agriculture unsustainable, unreliable and highly vulnerable. Food and water insecurity afflicts many people and their livelihoods. This calls for effective early warning and provision of timely, actionable climate information needed for planning activities in water, agriculture, energy, industry, health, infrastructure and all climate sensitive economic sectors. Systems for provision of climate information services and products need to be enhanced and mechanisms put in place to get the information to the end-users to trigger timely advance adaptive planning processes to avoid the challenges of food and water insecurity and reversal of economic gains as climate shocks continue to impact on livelihoods and lives of many. This book gives suggestions for effective provision of climate information to advance climate risk-informed economic development planning necessary for building resilience of lives and livelihoods.
