TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine three interlinked drivers of adaptation: climate change, desertification and drought, assessing the extent to which international and national policy supports local adaptive strategies in three countries in southern Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify southern African farmers' perceptions of rainfall, rainfall variations, and changes, examine the nature of meteorological evidence for the perceived rainfall variability and change, and document farmers' responses to rainfall variability; and discuss why discrepancies may occur between farmers’ perceptions and meteorological observations of rainfall.

TL;DR: Data is presented from three community-based natural resource management project case studies from southern Africa which promote Joint Forest Management, tree planting for carbon and conservation agriculture and good practices for future CBNRM projects which can be used by project designers and initiators to further the likelihood of successful project outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw on the outcomes from a multi-stakeholder workshop held in Mozambique in 2012, the final in a series of activities in a regional project assessing emerging climate compatible development (CCD) partnerships across southern Africa.

TL;DR: In the context of contemporary concerns about climate change and food security, conservation agriculture has emerged as a well-supported and central component of the agricultural sector development strategy across sub-Saharan Africa, including in Zambia, which is the focus of this paper as discussed by the authors.
