Rice production is highly dependent on rainfall, and hence any changes in the pattern of rainfall could significantly impact its production. Despite this, there is a dearth of evidence on the effect of rainfall variability on rice production in Ghana. The key practices utilized by rice farmers to address the effects of rainfall variability and the barriers militating against the effective implementation of such practices have also not been adequately highlighted in the literature. This study uses a mixed-method approach, including household surveys with 200 rice farmers and five focus group discussions, to investigate the effect of rainfall variability on rice production in four selected communities (Agorvega, Atsikpey, Avalevi, and Gagodope) in the Ketu North Municipality, Ghana. The study specifically sought to (i) determine the perception of smallholder rice farmers on rainfall variability in the studied municipality; (ii) assess the extent of rainfall changes in the studied municipality for the period 2010–2021; (iii) determine the relationship between rainfall variability and rice production; (iv) identify the key adaptation practices used by the smallholder rice farmers to address the effects of rainfall variability; and (v) determine the key barriers confronting the smallholder rice farmers in implementing these adaptation practices. The Mann–Kendall trend test was used to determine the extent of rainfall changes in the municipality, while Sen's slope estimator was used to evaluate the slope of the trend. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to test the degree of linear correlation between rainfall and rice production. Results showed that the smallholder rice farmers perceived the changes in rainfall through the unpredictable and early onset of rains, as well as increasing annual rainfall. The trend analysis indicated an increase in annual rainfall from 2010 to 2021 (Sen's slope = 8.196; <i>p</i> = 0.150, which is not statistically significant). The insignificant increase in annual rainfall significantly correlated with the average yield of rice (<i>r</i> = 0.614, <i>p</i> = 0.034) and total annual rice production (<i>r</i> = 0.576, <i>p</i> = 0.050), contributing to about 37% and 33% of the variability in average rice yield and annual rice production, respectively. Findings also revealed that smallholder rice farmers adopted key practices, including the planting of early maturing rice varieties (96%), application of fertilizers on rice farms (95%), and diversification of rice farming to non-farming activities (84%), to address the effects of rainfall variability. Results also indicated that key barriers such as limited institutional support (96%), lower educational status (96%), and limited access to information on weather forecasts (95%) obstructed the effective implementation of adaptation practices in the studied communities.

This systematic review synthesizes quantitative and qualitative evidence from 109 peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2024, identified through comprehensive searches in databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria focused on studies providing empirical data on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, carbon sequestration, and the resilience of farming systems, whereas conceptual papers and non-reviewed sources were excluded. A subset of 109 studies was subjected to meta-analysis to derive pooled estimates of key indicators. Results indicate that agroforestry systems can sequester an average of 3.5–9.8 Mg CO<sub>2</sub> ha<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, depending on tree species, soil type, and climatic conditions. Additionally, meta-analytic synthesis reveals that the integration of trees with crops and livestock can enhance on-farm biodiversity by 25%–40% and improve soil organic carbon content by an average of 15% over two decades. Adaptation benefits include enhanced water retention, reduced vulnerability to drought, and improved food security, with yield increases of up to 30% in agroforestry-based systems compared to monocropping. However, challenges such as land tenure insecurity and limited access to technical support persist, potentially hindering wider adoption.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely acknowledged as a way of promoting sustainable agriculture and food security. Given the importance of CSA in meeting food needs of households, the approach has received much attention in international, national, and local discussions. There exists extant literature on the concept in SSA; however, an assessment of how CSA has contributed to food security in the subregion is limited. As a result, this study aims to systematically review literature on climate-smart agriculture and its contribution to household food security in SSA. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis was adopted for the review. Using the Mendeley database, 26 studies that directly established the relationship between CSA and food security were reviewed to determine the pattern of issues. The finding of the results revealed that food availability featured predominantly in all the reviewed articles followed by food accessibility. Food stability was the least featured component of food security in all the reviewed articles. The review also found that household characteristics, farm-level characteristics, and institutional characteristics influenced farmers’ adoption decisions of CSA practices. Given the importance of food security in farm households in SSA and other destinations, achieving all the dimensions of food security means that there is the need for more research on food stability and utilization as majority of studies focused on food availability and accessibility. Again, governments in SSA should create avenues for building the capacity of farmer households to adopt CSA practices for improved food production and food security.</p>","PeriodicalId":100261,"journal":{"name":"Climate Resilience and Sustainability","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cli2.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144881507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the importance of climate-resilient WASH systems enables local authorities to assess and improve them through targeted interventions. In this research, we examined 180 rural water supply systems (RWSS) of Dailekh district located in the middle hills of Western Nepal and mapped their resilience across five domains. The domains include community capital, environment, infrastructure, institutional support and governance, and WASH management of the systems. The results show that 6% of the RWSS in the district have very low resilience, whereas only 11% have very high resilience. Most systems (76%) are classified as very low to medium-resilient systems, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced efforts to strengthen RWSS against the impact of climate change. Among the five domains assessed, institutional support and governance systems emerged as the weakest, closely followed by WASH management. In contrast, community capital stands out as the strongest domain across all surveyed systems.

The potential for negative impacts on biodiversity are either assumed to be benign or ignored. We critically examined claims, and models used to support them, that bioenergy sourced from forest biomass, including logging residues, is either carbon neutral or will reduce net emissions. We also examined evidence about the impacts on forest ecosystem integrity and species' capacity for adaptation. We found that models used to evaluate bioenergy rely on key assumptions that are in themselves capable of delivering results supportive of bioenergy as an effective strategy. Yet there is abundant evidence that these assumptions are invalid and that burning forest biomass for energy is not carbon neutral or beneficial. From our assessment, we concluded that burning forest biomass, including logging residues, increases atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration; land sector reporting using net greenhouse gas inventories obscures the impact of forest harvesting on ecosystem carbon stocks; and biomass energy will most likely displace other renewable energy, rather than fossil fuels. We also found that the use of bioenergy results in major negative cascading impacts for forest ecosystem integrity and consequently a reduction in the resilience and natural adaptive capacity of species in the face of climate change impacts. Bioenergy use is therefore in direct conflict with the commitment to limit the rate of global warming so that ecosystems can adapt naturally to climate change. A rethink is warranted of its role in international and national climate policy, and it should not qualify under renewable energy policies including directives, targets, and other legislated instruments. Together, we conclude that burning forest biomass for bioenergy is not a pathway to climate resilient development.</p>","PeriodicalId":100261,"journal":{"name":"Climate Resilience and Sustainability","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cli2.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144740348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
