Using a combination of the latest crop models and local expertise from farmers and others -- and applying them to our current trajectory of high greenhouse gas emissions -- scientists built a tool to assess climate risk vulnerability to help pinpoint communities most in need of support for adaptation and mitigation.

The study was carried out in Vietnam, Uganda and Nicaragua -- developing countries that embody many of the climate shocks in store for the coming decades, including propensity for droughts, floods and high-temperature extremes -- by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). The findings were published March 27 in PLOS ONE.
