Georgia is one of the many countries where the majority of the rural population depends on agriculture-directly or indirectly-for their livelihood. Further, changes in climate and their impacts on agricultural systems and rural economies are already evident throughout Europe and Central Asia. The risks associated with climate change therefore pose an immediate and fundamental problem in the country. Adaptation measures now in use in Georgia, largely piecemeal efforts, will be insufficient to prevent impacts on agricultur 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 410 0$aWorld Bank studies. 606 $aCrops and climate$zGeorgia (Republic) 606 $aClimatic changes$xRisk management$zGeorgia (Republic) 606 $aAgriculture$xEnvironmental aspects$zGeorgia (Republic) 606 $aAgriculture and state$zGeorgia (Republic) 615 0$aCrops and climate 615 0$aClimatic changes$xRisk management 615 0$aAgriculture$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aAgriculture and state 676 $a632/.1094758 700 $aAhouissoussi$b Nicolas$01659601 702 $aAhouissoussi$b Nicolas 702 $aNaylor$b Debra 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bDNAL/DLC 801 1$bDNAL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824369603321 996 $aReducing the vulnerability of Georgia's agricultural systems to climate change$94014333 997 $aUNINA
