Policy brief
This briefing brings together findings from two complementary studies on climate change and poverty in Tanzania. The first examines how different climate factors affect poverty, showing that temperature variation has the strongest impact. The second explores how access to credit can cushion these effects, reducing vulnerability. The briefing also sets out key recommendations for policy and areas for further research.
