- This policy brief explores the challenges pastoralists face when using climate informationservices and outlines key considerations for scaling these up in drylands.

- This issue brief explores how non-climate factors such as land encroachment and resource fragmentation interact with climate change to create transboundary climate risks for pastoral systems in African drylands, challenging traditional mobility and trade.

- This landmark report – which received exclusive coverage in The Independent - providesnew estimates of climate-attributable losses and damages, including lives lost, agriculturaldamage and more, across 18 countries across the Sahel and Horn of Africa. The report also reviews existing literature on indirect and non-economic losses and damages. It is accompanied by a report on losses and damage in Somalia.
- While not directly focused on pastoralists, the findings from this report offer very clear data of the impacts which climate change is already having across countries in Africa’s drylands.
