IPM in climate change adaptation focuses on enhancing the resilience of ecosystems to pest outbreaks, rather than eradicating all pests or relying solely on chemical pesticides.

IPM emphasizes a holistic approach that includes prevention, monitoring, and decision-making based on pest thresholds, rather than relying solely on chemical pesticides.

Climate change can have varying effects on different pest populations, depending on factors such as temperature, precipitation, and host plant availability.

Crop rotation, biological control, and the use of resistant crop varieties are all examples of IPM strategies that can be adapted to climate change.

IPM provides a comprehensive approach to pest management, reduces the reliance on chemical pesticides, and enhances the resilience of agricultural systems, all of which are important for adapting to changing pest dynamics under climate change.

Monitoring in IPM involves detecting pest outbreaks early, assessing the effectiveness of pest management strategies, and tracking changes in pest populations and environmental conditions.

IPM contributes to sustainable agriculture by reducing the use of chemical pesticides, conserving natural enemies of pests, and promoting biodiversity in agricultural systems.

While lack of knowledge, high costs, and limited availability of biological control agents can be challenges, the absence of government support and policies is not typically a challenge in implementing IPM in climate change adaptation.

Tailoring IPM strategies to specific climate change scenarios involves considering projected changes in temperature and precipitation, assessing the vulnerability of different pest species to climate change, and evaluating the potential impacts of climate change on pest-plant interactions.

IPM aims to manage pest populations effectively, not increase them. Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides, enhanced resilience of agricultural systems, and improved food security are all potential benefits of IPM in climate change adaptation.

IPM contributes to the conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes by reducing the use of broad-spectrum pesticides, promoting the use of habitat-friendly pest management practices, and encouraging the adoption of agroforestry systems.

Decision-making based on pest thresholds in IPM involves determining when pest control measures are necessary, avoiding unnecessary pesticide applications, and minimizing the impact of pests on crop yields.

Integrating IPM strategies with other climate change adaptation measures involves considering the impacts of climate change on pest populations and their natural enemies, incorporating IPM practices into climate-smart agricultural practices, and developing pest management strategies that are resilient to climate change.

Capacity building and knowledge sharing are important for enhancing the skills and knowledge of farmers and extension workers, facilitating the adoption of IPM practices among farmers, and promoting the development of context-specific IPM strategies.

IPM contributes to the achievement of SDGs by supporting food security and nutrition (SDG 2), promoting sustainable agriculture (SDG 2), and contributing to climate action (SDG 13).
