TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the poverty impacts of climate volatility for seven socioeconomic groups in 16 developing countries and find that extremes under present climate volatility increase poverty across their developing country sample, with urban wage earners the most vulnerable group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the vulnerability of Tanzania's population to poverty due to changes in climate variability between the late 20th century and early this century and found that the greatest predicted increase in poverty was equal to 880,000 people, while in the 21st century, the highest possible poverty increase was equivalent to 1.17 million people.

TL;DR: Tanaka has the potential to substantially increase its maize exports to other countries given global heterogeneity in climate-induced agricultural variability as mentioned in this paper, but trade restrictions like export bans prevent Tanzania from taking advantage of these opportunities, foregoing significant economic benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and used an integrated framework to estimate the poverty vulnerabilities of different socio-economic strata in Tanzania under current and future climate, and found that households across various strata are similarly vulnerable to being impoverished when considered in terms of their stratum's populations, with poverty vulnerability of all groups higher in the 21st Century than in the late 20th Century.

TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that if African countries can continue to build on the hard-won development gains, the demographic dividend could account for 11 to 15 percent of gross domestic product volume growth by 2030, while accounting for 40 to 60 million fewer poor in 2030.
