    The importance of agriculture in the
    economies of sub-Saharan African countries cannot be
    overemphasized. With agriculture accounting for about 65
    percent of the region's employment and 75 percent of
    its domestic trade, significant progress in reducing hunger
    and poverty across the region depends on the development and
    transformation of the agricultural sector. Transforming
    agriculture from largely a subsistence enterprise to a

    Most analyses of violence in Darfur ignore the local dimension of the crisis, focusing instead on the region’s economic and political marginalization and climatic variability. However, agricultural change and other changes relating to the land-rights and land-use systems have led to competition and exclusion, and have played a major role in the collective violence that has raged throughout the region. Understanding these questions is essential for the successful resolution of political and policy debates in Darfur.

    Estimating the potential costs of
    climate destabilization is not a trivial matter. Potential
    climate impacts have multiple consequences, some of which
    can be monetized while others are beyond the reach of
    standard economic tools. A full assessment of the
    implications of climate impacts often cannot be completed
    because many of the consequences are only partly known. This
    report summarizes data recently made available, through the
