    Climate change presents a profound challenge to food security and development. Negative impacts from climate change are likely to be greatest in regions that are currently food insecure and may even be significant in those regions that have made large gains in reducing food insecurity over the past half-century. Adaptation in the agricultural sector is being given a high priority within this effort because of the inherent sensitivity of food production to climate and the strong inter-linkages that exist between climate, agriculture, and economic growth and development.

    This strategic framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. Unabated, climate change threatens to reverse hard-earned development gains. The poorest countries and communities will suffer the earliest and the most. Yet they depend on actions by other nations, developed and developing. While climate change is an added cost and risk to development, a well-designed and implemented global climate policy can also bring new economic opportunities to developing countries.

    The purpose of this report is to examine development trends in the Southern Gobi Region (SGR) as they affect livestock and wildlife. It provides an overview of the environment and natural resources of the region, discusses existing relationships and interactions among humans, livestock, large herbivore wildlife, and the natural resources on which they are dependent. It then explores the impact that economic development of the region is likely to have if that development does not consider the needs of the current users.

    Reforestation measures for degraded lands, strategies for the sustainable management of forest resources, and agroforestry practices that incorporate trees into farming systems are increasingly demonstrating their promise for producing commercialized tree products. Although the level of investment so far has remained modest, the challenge is to find ways to scale up promising investments in a way that will have a clear impact at the landscape level.

    Mongolia, Asia oriental, Oceanía

    Dzud is the Mongolian term for a winter weather disaster in which deep snow, severe cold, or other conditions render forage unavailable or inaccessible and lead to high livestock mortality. Dzud is a regular occurrence in Mongolia, and plays an important role in regulating livestock populations. However, dzud, especially when combined with other environmental or socio-economic stresses and changes, can have a significant impact on household well-being as well as local and national economies.

    In the future scenario for livestock development, there is a continuing role for smallholder producers, particular for dairy and small ruminants, relying heavily on grass and crop-residues, however in a growth mode, intensifying production, and enhancing the efficiency of resource use (less land, labor and feed resources per unit product). In particular improving the efficiency of converting feed into milk and meat will be critical to increase their income.

    Malí

    The livestock sector in Mali accounts
    for 43 percent of cattle exports in the Sahel sub-region.
    However, while the sub-sector accounted for 28.6 percent of
    agriculture's contribution to Gross Domestic Product
    (GDP), investment in it amounted to only 10.7 percent of the
    total budget allocation to rural development. The African
    Financial Community (CFA) devaluation in January 1994
    increased the competitiveness of red meat from Sahelian

    The Sahel Operational Review (SOR) seeks
    to accelerate the transfer of lessons learned in natural
    resource management from ongoing Bank projects to the design
    of new Bank projects. This paper is the final report of the
    second phase of the SOR. It summarizes 29 SOR activities
    between 1989 and July 1994, including project reviews,
    seminars, workshops, conferences, and studies. This final
    report is an attempt to incorporate the major lessons and

    Yemen

    The review focuses on development and
    the environment in Yemen, particularly analyzing the
    environment resource base, where renewable fresh water is
    scarce, mainly ground water, and its over exploitation is
    one of the country's major environmental problems.
    Fisheries resources are also important, while oil and gas
    are significant resources contributing to some eighty five
    percent of Yemen's export revenues. Environmental
