Abstract

As part of the resilience of its economic and social sector to climate change, Burkina Faso will face several challenges including scientific knowledge for decision-making. Significant achievements in knowledge and decision support are expected to improve the efficiency and performance of global or sectoral resilience processes. The agricultural sector, considered as the pillar of socioeconomic development in Burkina Faso, as is the case in many countries, could be particularly concerned with these scientific achievements for climate resilience and climate change. A resilient indicator study is likely to provide multiple driving forces to build up resilience.

This chapter proposes innovative decision support frameworks to enhance the efficiency and performance of agricultural resilience to climate risks in Burkina Faso. These standards are sets of impacts and vulnerability factors, with a better mapping of climate risk impacts.

The strategy used to establish chains of impacts, sets of impacts, and vulnerabilities is the association of a precise methodological framework with studied systems based on mathematical analogues. We aim at developing relevant methods for analyzing the climate risk on the components of agriculture. The given solutions could be used in decision-making to improve politics, programs, or projects on rural development.
