Climate change has led to increase in rainfall intensity, floods frequency and severity and dry spells which have exacerbated land degradation as well as other agro-pastoral resources with impacts ranging from rangelands, livestock, water and extended repercussions on income and food security. Climate change has compromised the ability of indigenous communities to satisfy their food needs because it has profoundly affected the conditions under which agro-pastoral activities are carried out. Eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring food security, clean water and sanitation, ecosystems conservation and restoration can only be achieved by addressing climate change issues. Land, water, energy and climate are key inputs of the food production system. Rapid population growth, deforestation, overgrazing, over-cultivation and bush fires have exacerbated the impacts of climate change on mountain agro-pastoral systems.
