“…From the calculated results for the mean temperature of the April month, these results showed that significant impact on the wheat production with the value of 0.12. Because of the rise in temperature at the harvesting stage cause the positive impact on production; furthermore these result also in line with the results of Dasgupta et al (2013) when they estimated the effect of climatic change on food grain productivity in Indian states. Square form result of the result showed significant relationship at 1 percent level of significance with value -0.00017 these results were like the conclusive results of Weber and Hauer (2003) and Mendelsohn and Reinsborough (2007) both calculated that with the rise in temperature and precipitation Canadian farmland value also raised.…”

The current research study was conducted to estimate the impact of climate change on wheat production by using panel data from 1998-2014. For this purpose four districts were selected from southern Punjab, Pakistan. Panel model of fixed effect (FE) was estimated at region level for wheat productivity utilizing climatic and non-climatic variables based on season. The conclusion of the study showed that non-climatic, i.e. inputs, number of tractors, area under wheat, number of tube wells and fertilizer consumption in each district have significant impact on the wheat production. The fixed effect model results revealed that the increase in temperature has significance impact on the month of the November and January, while it showed negative impact in the month of April. The results also showed a non-linear relationship of precipitation for the months of April and November.

“…Very few estimate the cost of adaptation measures as an input into evaluating effectiveness or conducting cost-benefit studies (e.g. see Di Falco, Veronesi, & Yesuf, 2011;Mendelsohn & Dinar, 2003;Kurukulasuriya & Mendelsohn, 2008;Dasgupta, Bhattacharjee, & Kumari, 2013;Siderius et al, 2016). 7.…”

The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region comprises of areas which are highly vulnerable to flood risks. The region faces challenges from multiple non-climate stressors such as poverty, environmental and climate shocks, and inadequate infrastructure. Addressing these deprivations in ways that reduce vulnerability associated with a changing climate are critical for the communities that live here. This paper combines data on flood risks derived from a climate-hydrology model under two future scenarios of RCP 4.5 and 8.5, with socioeconomic data from communities in the Gandak basin, to demonstrate how mainstreaming climate change impacts into decision-making for sanitation interventions can reduce socioeconomic vulnerability to flooding. A Cost-effectiveness analysis of the alternative interventions for sanitation reveals that gains are substantially higher under an intervention that takes note of climatic events, both for the present and in the future. Substantial health costs and inconvenience losses that are particularly acute for women during floods can be averted by investing in climatefriendly options. Climate adaptation (SDG goal 13 on climate action) can be synergistic with the achievement of other SDGs (Goal 6 on sanitation, goal 3 on health and well-being, goal 5 on gender).

“…The latter aspect is seldom explored in previous studies while the former is rarely dealt in a holistic fashion. Larger aggregate emissions raise concerns over severe climate change consequences (Lobell et al, 2008), especially for agricultural-dependent rural society (Dasgupta, Bhattacharjee, & Kumari, 2013), while retaining lower per capita emissions raises concerns on their developmental possibilities. In this scenario, the review is expected to be useful in making suggestions for all-inclusive low carbon development options for the country that addresses climate change concerns.…”
