Agricultural production systems in East Africa are mainly rain-fed and highly vulnerable to climate change and variability. Moreover, the smallholder subsistence production base increases the vulnerability of the agricultural sector in East Africa to climate risks. The frequency and severity of c...

We apply a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to assess constraining and enabling factors to the uptake of medium- to long-term climate information in a wide range of sectoral investment and planning decisions. Common applications of climate information are shown to relate to adaptatio...

En las últimas décadas la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en América Latina y el Caribe se ha fortalecido, pasando de un 14.7% de población afectada por el hambre en 1990 a un 5.5% en 2014 (FAOSTAT, 2016), cumpliendo con la meta del hambre de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio. Sin embar...

In recent decades, food and nutrition security in Latin America and the Caribbean has strengthened, decreasing the number of the population affected by hunger from 14.7% in 1990 to 5.5% in 2014 (FAOSTAT, 2016), meeting the hunger goal of the Millennium Development Goals. However, climate change, ...

Agricultural research for development has made important contributions to poverty reduction and food security over the last 40 years. Nevertheless, it is likely that both the speed of global change and its impacts on natural and socio-economic systems are being under-estimated. Coupled with the m...

Do CCAFS’ climate data and tools contribute to development outcomes? The production of International PublicGoods (IPGs) – such as high quality, easy to use climate data and tools – is part of CGIAR CCAFS’ delivery promise. With CCAFS’ transition to a results-based management approach there is an ...
