摘要	Drought related disasters are a major factor contributing to endemic poverty, particularly in developing countries, where a large proportion of the population depends on agricultural livelihoods. Such disasters, and the associated impoverishment of large populations, are likely to grow if climate variability increases as a consequence of global change processes. Furthermore, while large-scale droughts may have the sufficient, immediate impact to draw the attention and concern of global actors, the increases in incremental losses associated with changes in the variability and unpredictability of climate conditions may have an equally great impact on vulnerable populations. Strategies for reducing this impact are, as a result, central to poverty alleviation and adaptation to climate change.
