There is a 95% chance that warming will exceed 2°C by the end of the century (Raftery et al. 2017). Global crop productivity is projected to fall by 5-10 % per degree of warming (Challinor et al. 2014), with even greater losses likely for some crops in some areas. The challenge of meeting future ...

Exploring opportunities around climate-smart breeding for future food and nutrition security
This paper reports on a networking meeting of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI) Flagship held at the university of Canberra, Australia on 1-2 April 2019. The meeting helped to identify opportunities for gender-tra...
This brief summarizes findings from a network analysis using data from the CCAFS Organizational Baseline Surveys (OBS) to analyze how organizations in CCAFS sites coordinate to work together on climate change and agriculture initiatives.

Summary for the CCAFS Flagship 4 Projects Kick-off Meeting 28-29 January 2014: Result-based Management Trial
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) integrates climate change research across all CGIAR Research Centres and Research Programs. Some of CCAFS’ work since 2010 has involved the development of high quality, accessible and easy-to-use climate data and ...

If climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is meaningfully to address the development challenges posed by climate change, effective approaches will be needed to scale up research findings. Here, eleven case studies are used to exemplify scaling-up strategies based on (1) value chains and private sector i...

Scaling up agricultural interventions: Case studies of climate-smart agriculture
We carry out a structured review of the peer-reviewed literature to assess the factors that constrain and enable the uptake of long-term climate information in a wide range of sectoral investment and planning decisions. Common applications of long-term climate information are shown to relate to u...

Constraining and enabling factors to using long-term climate information in decision-making
Given the different roles that women and men play in households and communities, strategies to improve food security and build adaptive capacity need to take gender differences into account. In many developing countries, local organizations have a role to play in it. However, the degree to which ...

In 2010-2012, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
(CCAFS) implemented a baseline in 15 sites across three initial target regions: East Africa, West
Africa and Indo-Gangetic Plains. The baseline was setup in such a way that the househo...
