\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
ReACCT (Resilient agro"=landscapes to Climate change in Tanzania) aims at assessing the regional impacts of climate change on agriculture and environment in Tanzania (Morogoro) and at designing adaptation strategies and practices for small"=scale agriculture and land use (agriculture, forest, hydrology, biodiversity, fishing, transport etc.). The widespread application of these adaptation strategies and practices is expected to provide livelihood systems with improved adaptive capacity to climate change by:



1. Improving the description and understanding of inter annual climate variability, likely long term climate change in the region and climate impacts on current land use systems and respective environmental, social and economic pressures.



2. Assessing smallholder constraints and opportunities with regard to potential climate change impacts on agriculture and ecosystem services.



3. Developing, testing, and monitoring a range of technologies and good practices for improving the overall adaptive capacity of rural households, communities, and agro"=landscapes. This task builds on the results from data driven model estimates and stakeholder driven agro"=landscape and livelihood scenarios.







After a period of two years, first project results will be presented. Preliminary outcomes on \textbf{(1)}~regionally downscaled climate change scenarios for different IPCC emission scenarios coupled with empirical ground"=based climate impact research, \textbf{(2)}~model based estimations of climate change impacts on current land use systems and practices affecting choice and performance of staple crops \textbf{(3)}~the potential and effects of agroforestry interventions and \textbf{(4)}~scenarios of sustainable livelihoods and resilient agro"=landscapes under climate change incl. farmers perceptions of climate change will be presented. 



We will discuss the conceptual framework of causal chains, how above described research components can results into adaptive responses in the form of Good Practices and criteria for best adaptation practices. New recommendations within the agro"=landscapes context will be given.
