  16. 1. Income across CCAP sites 2. Livelihood indicators 3. Women’s earnings 4. Vulnerability of fishers 5. Adaptation strategies 6. Methodology Outline

  17. National Poverty Line (2011, extrapolated) National Poverty Line in PKR (2011, extrapolated)

  18. International Poverty Line (2011, extrapolated) International Poverty Line in USD (2011, extrapolated)

  19. Poverty Incidence: highest at Kharo (50%), then Keti (40%), then Jiwani (20%) (% below extrapolated 2011 poverty line of PKR 50 p.c. p.d) Monthly HH incomes: Kharo Chan (PKR 21,144), Jiwani (PKR 19,716) Keti Bunder (PKR 13,002) (mean household incomes bracketed alongside site names) Database: Comparison of 2011 to 2015, use by site staff to target villages for interventions based on 100+ variables that can be consulted Cross-Site Income findings at a Glance

  20. Other Livelihood Indicators Message: Significant obstacles stand in the way of a shift out of poverty Savings: Kharo (11-30%), Keti (30%) (% are savings ratios: i.e. net HH savings / net income) Loans: 120,000 (Kharo), Keti (55,000) and 13,800 (Jiwani) (all figures in PKR and refer to sample averages) Resilience to shocks: Lowest at Keti, highest at Kharo (estimated mean HH ownership of all livestock varieties) Opportunity cost of time: worst impacted at Kharo (based on hours spent hauling water) Illiteracy: Keti (80%), Jiwani (40%)

  21. Other Livelihood Indicators: Water Charges

  22. Other Livelihood Indicators: Illiteracy

  23. Other Livelihood Indicators: Health Facilities

  24. Other Livelihood Indicators: Disease Prevalence

  25. Women’s Earnings Message: Constraints to supplementing HH income are non-trivial Role as mothers: Lack health facilities (Kharo: diarrhea, malaria; Keti: also skin/eye disease, Jiwani: typhoid is common) Preventing deaths: Keti (70% mobiles, 10% radios) (sample shares reporting main source for information access) Average earnings: Jiwani (5,030), rilly only at Keti (700), embroidery only at Kharo (620) – note: demand isn’t constant (bracketed figures refer to PKR and averages per month) Diversified skills: best at Jiwani, worst at Kharo (from among rilly & hat making, embroidery, sewing, etc.)

  26. Other Livelihood Indicators: Vocational Skills

  27. Vulnerability of Fishers Message: NR dependency in the absence of sustainable practices and diversified livelihoods lowers CC adaptation resilience Exclusive fishers: Keti (68%), Jiw. (53%), Kharo (48%) (percentages of sampled respondents) Middlemen: Kharo (25-30%), Keti (100%+) (% disparity b/w market and fisher prices in seasonal fish) Price rises: Driven in part by illegal sale of Iranian oil at prices below OCAC rates – (seasonal & year round fish compared against 2008 baseline using 14.9% 3-year av. inflation)

  28. Vulnerability of Fishers: 2008-2011 baselines

  31. Sampling and Data • Methodology: • 2-stage stratified cluster sampling technique at all 3 sites, size of samples varying from 132 to 576 (or 0.4% to 3% of UC pops) • Income determined through: • annual HH income questionnaire module (inflows also include property owned, land rented, remittances, etc.) • total monthly expenditure module (enumerators trained to obtain counterintuitive items listing) • above 2 corroborated through volumes and AUPs of livestock sales, agricultural sales and sharecropping arrangements, fishery sales, incomes from enterprise based on timber sale, NTFP sale, vegetation / handicrafts made from vegetation • corroboration of these items based on 2007 baseline • Plausibility of price and volume figures based on 3-yr and 4-yr average inflation extrapolation • Also via interviews of leaders in industry/business associas.

  32. for a living planet Negotiating Known Unknowns: “Better” Climate Adaptation Practices from the Indus Ocean Basin Regional Conference on Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas: Perspectives from the Dasht, Indus, and Sunderbans Deltas 16-17 October 2012, Savar

  33. Outline 1. Bangladesh 2. India 3. Sri Lanka 4. Mozambique 5. Thailand 6. Methodology

  34. Project: Sea barriers: afforestation & reforestation BAP 1: Strengthening of government capacity at various tiers, revision of coastal management policies, CC knowledge BAP 2: Prioritize most prized assets: livestock pen release timing, reinforced livestock killas, livelihoods diversification, aquaculture & food production combined with afforestation and reforestation BAP questions: how many families per ha? What crops? Aquaculture? Bangladesh

  35. Project: lobster fattening enterprises BAP 1: recognizing vulnerability across gender, class and caste lines (implications for adaptive infrastructure, participatory governance structures, and livelihood diversification) BAP 2: elevated latrines for women and children, village water committees (enhanced social capital implications has implications for improved negotiation of market prices) BAP questions: better prices from fattened crabs, etc? Loans for cages/pits to rear crabs? Collectives? India

  36. Project: greenbelt plantations for tsunami victims BAP 1: community-led bioremediation of drinking water wells, tree/shrub plantation around wells, community groups to mobilize savings BAP 2: bioremediation plots double as kitchen gardens with women as main managers and beneficiaries. BAP questions: how to scale up and link social capital with higher tier governance structures? How to sustain bio-remediation? Sri Lanka

  37. Project: when relocation is only feasible option to save lives BAP 1: migration should be voluntary, ability and willingness of institutions to support migrants, state encouragement to resettle, state incentives to strengthen infrastructure & livelihood diversification BAP 2: fruit and maize as insurance crops, offering additional produce when season permits. BAP questions: our equivalent of higher sandy lands? Our equivalent of self-organized, dual land-use systems? What incentives? Too Costly? Mozambique

  38. Project: social capital to develop NRM enterprise BAP 1: formation of a savings management group by villagers (implications for developing management and organizational skills), breeding and harvesting of mud crabs BAP 2: diversified income baskets: rubber plantations, fruit gardens, cultivating shrimp, day labor and fishing; support of local politicians to regain control of mangroves BAP questions: “crab banks” workable here? Workable to impose harvesting ban in breeding periods? Thailand

  39. Project Methodology “Vulnerability”: Susceptibility to suffer damage, inability to recover from environmental extremes “Resilience”: socio-ecological system’s ability to absorb shocks without losses to productivity, environmental values and access to resources “Adaptation”: adjustment to stimuli and its effects to moderate harm or exploit opportunities Resilience Metrics: These are indicators for the BAP study, namely: “diversity” (e.g., livelihoods, access to eco-services), “ecosystem services” (e.g., access by poor), “equity” (e.g., participation and access / opportunity across genders), “social capital” and “infrastructure”

  40. P-E Linkages (Pak & Indus Ecoregion) Fundamentals: Unresolved structural problems (esp. energy sector), 2 major floods, CPI persistently high (esp. large SBP- accommodated fiscal deficits), June ’12 YoY 4.2% growth, 60%+ pop > 25 yrs (pop to double to 0.4 bn by 2050) Just how poor: MoF est. 0.5 pc pts shaved off GDP growth from 2011 floods; 6.6m unemployed 2-3 mths, USD 2.6bn capital stock destroyed (1.2% GDP only); bumper winter-wheat crop, agricultural exports buoyed by cotton prices Indices: 67% live in country; % Pop > USD 2/day fell 83%-60% (‘06-’12); poorest 20% worse off vs. ’02; 58% HH food insecure

  41. Water and Food Security (Pak & Indus Ecoregion) Food : 44% of children suffer chronic malnutrition, 15% acutely so (of 58% food insecure HHs, 30% mod/sev hunger, 7% severe acute); Pakistan has 120 districts, food deficit in 74 of those (62%, Balochistan severe); Water :availability is 1,100 cm/yr in 2011 vs. 5,500 cm/yr 60 yrs ago; 1,000 liters to 1 kg of wheat, 5 times that for 1 kg rice; Indus Basin water stress (> 1,700 cm/yr – about 1,329 cm/yr) Climate Change: Average temp to increase by 1% by 2030

  42. for a living planet The Determinants, Impact, and Cost Effectiveness of Climate Change Adaptation in the Indus Ecoregion LUMS WWF – P PIDE-hosted Inception workshop of the IDRC Project on Climate Change Adaptation, Water and Food Security in Pakistan 25-27 May 2012

  43. Outline 1. Description 2. Goals 3. Deliverables 4. Project Sites 5. Sampling and Data 6. Econometric Specification

  44. Project Description When: 3-yrs (2012-2015) Where: Indus Ecoregion (Sindh), also Punjab Who: LUMS, WWF-P, SOAS / LSE Why: Options & ROE on Adaptation Spending What: 2 studies (based on primary data), farmer tools (FFS, manuals), 6 policy studies

  45. Project Goals • Equip planners & policy makers to take informed decisions (cost-effective and politically feasible CC adaptation interventions). • Mainstream micro-econometric and political economy study results into relevant government economic and social plans.

  46. Project Deliverables Jul 2014: Micro-econometric study Nov 2014: Political economy study Jan 2015: Synthesis policy report 2013-14: Farmer field school curriculum, manual, exposure visits 2013-15: Student assisted faculty papers 2012: Technical advisory group 2012-13: 2 national consultations (sampling, methods) Feb 2015: High level conference on Climate Change and Food Security

  47. Research questions • What is the predicted change in yield and profit in wheat production as a result of climate change? (i.e., what is the difference between BAU values and amounts of 2012 and future ones – based on rainfall and temperature forecasts up to 2100 inputted in our Hedonic Production Function?). • How does this change when assumptions about adaptation strategies are altered? How would adapters have fared had they not applied strategies, and how would non-adapters fare (i.e., what is the average treatment on the treated – adapters – and the untreated – non-adapters)? Which food security and LAPA policies and plans are in need of reform? • Which adaptation strategies have farming households’ undertaken and are they paying off? What are their risk perceptions and food security/adaptation impacts of these?

  48. Research steps • Questionnaire design • Focus group & key informant discussions, secondary data • Reconnaissance surveys (1 per site, 3 sites; sampling strategy) • Training of enumerators (1 manual to carry into field) • Time series data (25x25 km or finer) and decadal forecasts of average increases/decreases in rainfall and temperature • Pilot testing, questionnaire redesign, and main surveys (1 for each of the 3 sites, 500 questionnaires per site) • Data rendered in .do & .dta files for analysis in STATA-12

  49. Crop choice: why one crop (wheat)? • Yield and quantities tied to food security concerns • Especially responsive to temperature and rainfall changes • Livestock as insurance/savings: small farmers obliged to grow wheat to feed livestock (household level food security) • Production data on all other crops elicited; but, detailed questions on input cost, yield, etc. reserved for single crop (6 crops per plot grown over 12 months is not uncommon) • Aside from the production function data required of a single crop, questions that proceed by eliminating harvest losses due to exogenous factors, or, crop-specific adaptation responses, too numerous to apply to multiple crops
