This chapter presents a study that analyzed the vulnerability of farmers in the semiarid Omay communal lands of Zimbabwe to climate change and variability and potential options for adaptation.
There is a need to ensure that water and energy use is closely considered in future industry planning and development to provide practical options for adaptation and to build resilience at the farm level.
The IPCC mandate is to assess, in the most rigorous, inclusive, and transparent way, the 'scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation'.
By protecting and enhancing the natural services that support source of revenue, exposed communities can continue local safety nets and expand the range of options for adaptation with troublesome shocks and trends (IPCC 2003).
Instead, we need innovation to invest in a technological revolution that can rapidly provide options for adaptation and mitigation, as well as new institutions and "market pull" policies to encourage entrepreneurship.
Options for adaptation include diversifying income, building formal and informal institutions, adjustments in livestock holdings and species, labour mobility and engagement in small irrigation schemes (Adger et al. 2005; Berhanu et al. 2007; Seo and Mendelsohn 2008; Moritz et al. 2009; Crane et al. 2011; Tsegaye et al. 2013).
