This learning brief is part of a series to capture the process, progress and lessons from CCAFS in its endeavor to plan, implement and deliver research outcomes. Since the last of these learning
notes was published1, the process for finalizing the impact pathways (IPs) was considerably simplified...

Learning Brief: Lessons in Theory of Change from a Series of Regional Planning Workshops
This paper identifies sixteen cases of large-scale actions in the agriculture and forestry sectors that have adaptation and/or mitigation outcomes, and distils lessons from the cases. The cases cover policy and strategy development (including where climate-smart objectives were not the initial ai...

Large-scale implementation of adaptation and mitigation actions in agriculture
Climate change fundamentally shifts the agricultural development agenda. Changing temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, and the rising frequency of extreme climate events will significantly reduce global food production in this century unless action is taken. Major investments, private an...
New agricultural development pathways are required to meet climate change adaptation and mitigation needs in the food systems of low-income countries. A research and policy agenda is provided to indicate where innovation and new knowledge are needed. Adaptation requires identifying suitable crop ...

Setting the agenda: Climate change adaptation and mitigation for food systems in the developing world
Improving smallholder agricultural systems is central to achieving climate-smart agriculture (CSA). This module focuses on local-level institutions and their role in facilitating the adoption of climate-smart agricultural strategies. The module demonstrates the importance of local institutions fo...

How can sustainability science achieve impact for wicked problems such as climate change?
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 ...
