Scientific Linkages Between Climate Change and (Transboundary) Crop Pest and Disease Outbreaks

In collaboration with researchers from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), TMG just published a new working paper looking at the formal linkages between climate change and other consequences of anthropogenic activity from an increasingly globalised world on the adaptation, intensification, migration and establishment of transboundary crop pests and diseases.

Through its different sections, the authors examine how a changing climate affects the dynamics of pest and disease expansion and migration, explore the latest mitigation measures and propose steps towards a holistic early warning system for pest and disease detection and control mitigation measures.
