Yield change under climate change: Rainfed maize in Benin, 2000–2050, A1B scenario
CNRM-CM3 GCM
CSIRO Mark 3 GCM
2000 old area lost Yield loss > 25% of 2000 Yield change within 5% Yield gain > 25% 2050 new area gained
ECHAM 5 GCM
MIROC 3.2 medium-resolution GCM
Source: Authors’ estimates. Notes: A1B = greenhouse gas emissions scenario that assumes fast economic growth, a population that peaks midcentury, and the development of new and efficient technologies, along with a balanced use of energy sources; CNRM-CM3 = National Meteorological Research Center–Climate Model 3; CSIRO = climate model developed at the Australia Commonwealth Scien- tific and Industrial Research Organisation; ECHAM 5 = fifth-generation climate model developed at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Hamburg); GCM = general circulation model; MIROC = Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate, developed at the University of Tokyo Center for Climate System Research.
