It emphasizes the need to develop scenarios for the impact of climate change on grasslands, vegetation and agricultural production and suggests a more efficient use of water, and creating plans for equitable water sharing that target the specific needs of pastoralists and farmers. The report concludes with recommended policy options and strategies for mitigation and adaptation.
