During the CTA Annual Seminar which took place in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso from 26 to 31 October 2008, the impact of climate change on the agricultural sectors of ACP countries was discussed in terms of its effects on the productivity of cropping and agro-pastoral systems, and its impacts on the biophysical and socio-economic structure of rural life. In this context, recommendations were made about information strategies that could effectively support policy-making and communal action. This document summarises the outcomes of the seminar and includes the abstracts (key note papers and cross-cutting themes, reports of the parallel sessions, and information and communication strategies).
