Global warming will have far-reaching consequences for agriculture that will dispropotionately affect poor and marginalized groups who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and have a lower capacity to adapt. Sustainable food security in a world of growing population and changing dieats is ...

In much of the developing world, climate change is expected to increase the risk from extreme weather events, and scaling insurance is vital to enhance agricultural risk management and adaptation among the rural poor. Insurance program impacts however too often claim impacts based on the number o...

In 2014, Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) proposed a major expansion of agricultural insurance in the context of other reforms to the agricultural sector, and as part of the implementation of its National Agricultural Resilience Framework (NARF). This report...

The impacts of increasing natural climate disasters are threatening food security in the Asia-Pacific region. Rice is Asia’s most important staple food. Climate variability and change directly impact rice production, through changes in rainfall, temperature and CO2 concentrations. The key for sus...

Investment in national climate services must address trade-offs between meeting context-specific farmer needs and providing cost-effective services at scale. In the context of an ongoing national-scale agricultural climate service initiative in Rwanda, we discuss approaches used to address five s...

The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) enables vulnerable sectors and populations to better manage climate variability and adapt to climate change. How? By developing and incorporating science-based climate information into planning, policy and practice. The GFCS places the decision con...

Nigeria can build a robust resilience framework to ensure that its agricultural sector is able to cope with the shocks and stresses of climate change through weather insurance. While there is already demand for index insurance, bundling insurance with production inputs and finance can make insura...

One of the main challenges of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is finding ways to promote the adoption at scale (Editor’s note: 'scaling', 'at scale' or 'to scale' are used throughout this article to mean ‘scaling-out’) of CSA practices and technologies. Climate services and insurance can constit...

Climate change is expected to increase the risk from extreme climate events, such as drought, flooding and heat waves, in much of the developing world (IPCC 2012, 2014). Extreme events erode farmers’ livelihoods through loss of productive assets, while the uncertainty associated with climate vari...
