In transition countries small-scale farmers and households are effectively excluded from direct participation in markets. In general, they face pressures from larger processors and retail chains to supply raw materials in required quantities and quality. These demands often pose a great challenge for integration into value chains. At the same time, local, often small and …

Hydroclimatic Risks

The quantification of climate risks at the regional scale will be improved and provided for end-user oriented applications. This includes new modelling methodologies for extremes, quantification of uncertainties along the impact modelling chain, and development of useful climate service solutions. Systematic model intercomparisons will be coordinated for the hydrological and forest sectors in the framework …
