Résumé: Extreme weather events, particularly droughts, have strong impacts on the livelihoods of populations in rural areas. In a context of low access to insurance and credit markets, households respond to such shocks by implementing different risk-management strategies, which in turn are likely to have an impact on the environment, in particular through land-use changes and deforestation. The aim of this project is to contribute to the emerging literature on the links between droughts and deforestation: (1) presentation of adaptation strategies that may impact deforestation, (2) presenting a case study on Democratic Republic of Congo, disentangling the time of the agricultural season at which droughts occur, (3) presenting heterogeneity of impacts at the pan-tropical level.
