of drinking water, direct heat stress and the prevalence of livestock diseases . Climate change is projected to negatively affect fodder availability  because overall rangeland net primary productivity  by 2050 is projected to decrease 42% under RCP4.5  and 46% under RCP8.5  for western sub-Saharan Africa, compared to a 2000 baseline . NPP is also projected to decline by 37% in southern Africa, 32% in north Africa and 5% in both east Africa and central Africa by 2050 under RCP8.5  . For example, in Zimbabwe by 2040-2070, net revenues from livestock production, compared to a 2011 survey, are projected to decline by 8-32% under RCP4.5 for 2°C and 11-43% under RCP8.5 for 2.7℃ global warming due to a decline in fodder availability . The available literature does not comprehensively capture the economic implications of climate- related impacts on livestock production across Africa.
