    Yemen

    The report, Land Tenure for Social and
    Economic Inclusion in Yemen: Issues and Opportunities was
    completed in December 2009. The report addresses the
    problems of land ownership in Yemen and the various social
    and economic problems associated with the system of land
    ownership. Property rights under Yemeni Law are expressed
    both in custom and statute, but both are informed by shari a
    (Islamic law), which provides the basic property categories

    Empirical evidence indicates that in
    many developing regions, the extreme poor in more marginal
    land areas form a "residual" pool of rural labor.
    Structural transformation in such developing economies
    depends crucially on labor and land use decisions of these
    most-vulnerable populations located on abundant but marginal
    agricultural land. Although the modern sector may be the
    source of dynamic growth through learning-by-doing and

    Albania

    Changes in climate and their impact on agricultural systems and rural economies are already evident throughout Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Adaptation measures now in use in Albania, largely piecemeal efforts, will be insufficient to prevent impacts on agricultural production over the coming decades. There is growing interest at the country and development partner levels to have a better understanding of the exposure, sensitivities, and impacts of climate change at farm level, and to develop and prioritize adaptation measures to mitigate the adverse consequences.

    India

    This report provides estimates of social
    and financial costs of environmental damage in India from
    three pollution damage categories: (i) urban air pollution,
    including particulate matter and lead; (ii) inadequate water
    supply, poor sanitation, and hygiene; (iii) indoor air
    pollution; and four natural resource damage categories: (a)
    agricultural damage from soil salinity, water logging, and
    soil erosion; (b) rangeland degradation; (c) deforestation;

    Zambia

    Facing a huge fiscal burden due to
    imports of entire petroleum despite the availability of a
    surplus of agricultural land to produce biofuels, Zambia, a
    country in Sub-Saharan Africa, has recently introduced a
    biofuel mandate. But, a number of questions, particularly
    those related to the economics of biofuels, have not been
    fully investigated yet. Using an empirical model this study
    analyzes the economics of meeting the biodiesel mandate

    North Macedonia

    Agricultural production is inextricably tied to climate, making agriculture one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In countries such as the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly immediate and important problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods.

    Global

    This paper examines some of the concepts
    surrounding the idea that forests and trees can contribute
    to making households more resilient to food insecurity. The
    paper begins with a discussion of the widely accepted
    definitions of food security, and the implications for our
    understanding of the role of forests and trees in
    contributing to food security. Authors discuss the origins
    of the idea of resilience, adaptability, and transformation

    Latin America and the Caribbean

    The impacts of climate change on
    agriculture are projected to be significant in coming
    decades, so response strategies, and their likely costs,
    should be evaluated now. That is why this study produced an
    open-access, crop-climate-economic impact modeling platform
    for Latin America and the Caribbean, that can be extended to
    other regions, then modified and improved by users as new
    crop, climate, and economic datasets become available. The

    This paper reviews the challenges and
    opportunities raised by international trade for developing
    countries considering a green growth strategy. A key concern
    is the effect of environmental policies on international
    competitiveness. For production-generated pollution, there
    is evidence that stringent environmental policy reduces some
    indicators of competitiveness, but the effect is small in
    most sectors. However, tightening up environmental standards
