Abstract
The adverse impacts of climate change affect both developed and developing countries, but developing countries and poor smallholder farmers are more vulnerable as they sorely lack adequate adaptive capacity. Smallholder farmers’ high dependence on rain-fed agriculture makes them especially susceptible to the profound impacts of climate change. This is compounded by elevated levels of poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and lagging technological development. Consequently, climate change is set to adversely affect many agricultural-dependent communities in developing countries, aggravating food insecurity and global poverty.
