  abstract = {{A} large range of climate change impacts is expected during the twenty-first century in vulnerable regions such as {W}est {A}frica, where local populations largely rely on livestock systems as their main food production and income source. {A}s climate change threatens livestock systems in various ways, here we assess how regional livestock could be exposed to cumulated climate-related stressors in the future. {U}sing the world's largest multi-model climate impacts simulations database {ISIMIP}, we find that a large part of {W}est {A}frica will experience at least 5-6 cumulated multiple climate stressors before the 2030s, including amplified severe heat stress conditions and flood risks. {C}onsequently, about 30% of the current total regional livestock could be exposed to these cumulated stressors, with sheep and goat as the most affected species. {T}his paper brings new quantifications that may help policy makers to prioritize decisions that could prepare local populations to face multiple climate-related impacts.},
