CGIAR Climate Action Program
The Climate Action Program will drive science, innovation and collaboration to transform food, land and water (FLW) systems for a climate-resilient, net-zero and equitable future. Through more resilient, low-emissions farms, landscapes and aquatic systems, we will advance research across agri-food systems benefiting between 38 million vulnerable small-scale producers and value chain actors across 30 countries.
This work will help with reducing 1 gigaton of COâ‚‚ by 2030, unlocking $15 billion in climate finance and helping 38 million smallholder farmers. The challenges that will be addressed are;
- Vulnerability of small-scale producers affected by accelerating climate change and extreme weather events
- Rising agri-food systems emissions which already contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions
- Environmental degradation and geopolitical instability
