Abstract

Climate change is a substantial threat to sustainable
development in Zambia, a country experiencing weather
hazards, drought and dry spells, seasonal and flash floods,
and extreme temperatures that may well increase under
climate change. Achieving the goals of Feed the Future and
the Global Food Security Strategy requires careful consideration
of the impact of relevant climate science on agricultural
production, while at the same time considering other
cross-cutting issues that influence agriculture-led poverty
alleviation, resilience, and nutrition—such as gender. This
policy note summarizes assessments of these linkages for
Zambia under the Gender, Climate Change, and Nutrition
Integration Initiative (GCAN)
