Abstract
This Atlas contains a set of hazard and suitability maps that illustrate potential climate change impacts on smallholder agriculture in Yemen. Four specific climate hazard and suitability themes are mapped: (i) risk of flash flooding; (ii) soil erosion potential; (iii) land suitability for rainwater harvesting (by stone terraces); and (iv) climate evaluation of cropping potential (for sorghum).
