Mali has multiple vulnerabilities to climate variability and change. It is one of the least developed countries with an economy that relies heavily on cereal production. Farming and fishing account for 45% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employ about 80% of the workforce while rice contributes around 5% of the country’s GDP.
