The livestock sector is responsible for 14% of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key sector for mitigation action. Within the dairy sector specifically, better feed production and feeding practises can bring strong mitigation and livelihood benefits, while providing increase...

CCAFS Scientists at the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), the International Center for Tropical Agriculture(CIAT), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) are developing two “Practical Guides” (PGs) on Climate-­‐ Sm...


CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security[Informing CSA implementation at national, regional, and continental scales]Informing CSA implementation at national, regional, and continental scales

CCAFS researchers made important contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), which was published in 2014. In this way, CCAFS helped decision makers worldwide to prioritize and design agricultural sector interventions aimed at mitigating a...

The Himalayan region is highly sensitive to climate change due to the high variation in altitudes. Increased temperatures are likely to change cloud cover and rainfall patterns, melt ice caps and glaciers, and reduce snowfall. This puts rivers, tributaries, catchments, and watersheds at the risk ...


CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security[A watershed approach to building climate resilience in Nepal’s mountain eco-regions]A watershed approach to building climate resilience in Nepal’s mountain eco-regions

Although the high Andes are the place of origin of the potato, the growing conditions are harsh and prone to frost, drought and hailstorms. This, coupled with a general lack of support for remote communities, has resulted in high levels of malnutrition and childhood mortality amongst the area’s i...

In 2013, CCAFS surpassed the 3-year targets for two of its twelve Objectives, achieved the targets for seven Objectives and is behind target for three Objectives. Most progress has been made in East Africa (EA), West Africa (WA) and South Asia (SA) – the regions established at the start of CCAFS;...

This concept note presents the new structure and function of CCAFS under a system of Results-Based Management (RBM), building on lessons learnt in CCAFS’s 2013/14 RBM trial for Flagship 4. Lessons from three external evaluations have been used to improve efficacy of management and delivery of out...


CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security[CCAFS Extension Proposal: Concept Note for 2015-2016]CCAFS Extension Proposal: Concept Note for 2015-2016

Pre-proposal submitted to the CGIAR Consortium in August 2015. Climate change will have far-reaching consequences for agriculture and natural resources – demanding a response that integrates food security, adaptation and mitigation, and puts greatest investment towards poor agriculture-dependent ...


CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security[Pre-proposal for the Integrative CRP on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) ]Pre-proposal for the Integrative CRP on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) 

This report summarises outcomes from a portfolio of CCAFS projects on climate-smart agriculture (CSA). This particular portfolio was selected for its potential of scaling up CSA, which aims for outcomes on food security, building adaptive capacity and, where appropriate, increasing carbon sequest...
