Weathering Challenges: Distributional Impacts of Climatic Shocks on Household Consumption in Mozambique 1: Carnegie Mellon University; 2: Boston College; 3: UNU-WIDER Mozambique is highly vulnerable to climate change, facing frequent extreme weather shocks and heavy reliance on subsistence agriculture. Using four waves of household consumption surveys (2008–2023) matched with district-level weather data, we study how shocks affect consumption. Extreme weather during the growing season alters expenditure patterns, though households partly smooth total consumption. High temperature and precipitation shocks reduce spending mainly below the median, with households offsetting losses through home production. Poorer households, however, struggle to compensate under low-precipitation shocks, lowering consumption. Using 2019–2023 data, we find social protection mitigates adverse impacts among beneficiaries despite limited coverage. Results highlight the importance of social protection as climate risks intensify. | |
