Farm households in Egypt: A typology for assessing vulnerability to climate change by Nin-Pratt, Alejandro, ElDidi, Hagar, Breisinger, Clemens

“…We define three climate change scenarios that differ in the expected water flows of the Nile into the Aswan High Dam. Results of simulations using a household model suggest that Egypt is likely to experience a significant reduction in output, agricultural labor demand, and cultivated area because of climate change, although the severity of this outcome will depend on the magnitude of changes in the Nile’s flow. …”
