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...

Climate change research must be nationally relevant for research outputs to be
used broadly. This is why CIMMYT-CCAFS conducted its research in close
collaboration with the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and other
stakeholders in Ethiopia. The climate research outputs generat...

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 ...
