Replication Data for: From site-level to regional adaptation planning for tropical commodities: cocoa in West Africahttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1JMXC6Schroth, GötzLäderach, PeterMartinez Valle, ArmandoBunn, ChristianHarvard Dataverse2016-03-232019-07-08T16:07:57ZWe discuss here such a regional approach for cocoa in West Africa, where 70 % of global cocoa supply originates. On the basis of a statistical model of relative climatic suitability calibrated on West African cocoa farming areas and average climate projections for the 2030s and 2050s of, respectively, 15 and 19 Global Circulation Models, we divide the region into three adaptation zones: (i) a little affected zone permitting intensification and/or expansion of cocoa farming; (ii) a moderately affected zone requiring diversification and agronomic adjustments of farming practices; and (iii) a severely affected zone with need for progressive crop change. We argue that for tropical agricultural commodities, larger-scale adaptation planning that attempts to balance production trends across countries and regions could help reduce negative impacts of climate change on regional economies and global commodity supplies, despite the institutional challenges that this integration may poseAgricultural SciencesEarth and Environmental SciencesAtmospheric SciencesClimate change adaptationEnvironmental managementLatin America and the CaribbeanDecision and Policy Analysis - DAPAEnglishSchroth, G., Läderach, P., Martinez-Valle, A. and Bunn, C. 2016. “From site-level to regional adaptation planning for tropical commodities: cocoa in West Africa”.
