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

“…To illustrate possible uses of the typology, we look at the vulnerability of the different types of households to projected changes in temperature, water availability, and water demand from crops due to climate change, and discuss which farmers, production systems, and regions will be most affected by climate shocks. We assumed that increased temperatures by 2050 would result in increased water demand and reduced yields for most crops due to heat stress and harsher growing conditions. …”
