Julian R - Evaluating the impact of climate change on global plant biodiversityCIAT
Preliminary results on the assessment of impacts of climate change on global plant diversity. Presented at Tyndall Centre, Norwich, UK, by Julian Ramirez
The document discusses several topics related to climate change and agroforestry:
1. It outlines two research groups focusing on adaptation and mitigation of climate change through agroforestry.
2. It summarizes some of the impacts of climate change on agroforestry species and economic activities as well as limits to adaptation.
3. It also briefly discusses the contributions of agriculture and land use to greenhouse gas emissions and benefits of trees on farms.
This document summarizes a study that used a geographic information systems (GIS) model to evaluate how climate change may impact agricultural land suitability in Hawaii. The study analyzed climate projections for temperature and rainfall and assessed their effects on the suitability of lands for growing several key Hawaiian crops. The results indicated some areas may experience reduced suitability for crops like coffee due to higher temperatures and rainfall, though production could continue in most existing locations. The GIS model allows comparing current and projected future land suitability to help farmers and planners prepare for climate change impacts.

Agriculture Extension and Advisory Services under the New Normal of Climate ...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
This document summarizes the challenges facing agriculture under climate change and opportunities for agricultural extension services. It discusses trends showing rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather. This "new normal" will disrupt agriculture and require adaptations. Extension services need to help farmers mitigate emissions and adapt practices, focusing on building resilience. Prospects include collaborating with researchers, adopting multi-benefit practices, enhancing technology transfer, upgrading training, and balancing policies to support smallholders under climate change.

In the years to come climate change, coupled with population growth, energy and natural resource depletion, will increasingly challenge our continued ability to feed ourselves. As we move forward, persistent problems, past failures and new challenges within Extension change agents and advisory service (EAS) provisioning have the potential to converge in a perfect storm as the scramble to adapt to the new normal of life under climate change intensifies. This presentation outlines the nature of the challenges, identifies past and present points of successful EAS engagement and outlines necessary areas of preparation
This workshop provides guidance to some on-the-ground climate-smart restoration projects that range in scale – from the community scale to the landscape Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) scale. At the landscape scale, we intend to show results of Habitat Restoration in the Maumee Area of Concern (515 acre project). At the community level, we will highlight an example from projects directed at reducing flooding in a neighborhood in Detroit, MI. As applied in these projects, workshop participants will learn to use free internet tools as well as hands-on Great Lakes Climate Adaptation Toolkit materials. You will leave the workshop having learned about examples, applied specific tools to those examples, and received free materials you can immediate utilize to make your project climate ready.

This document outlines a study on narrowing uncertainty in projections of climate change impacts on crop yields, specifically the uncertainty associated with the effects of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. It discusses direct and indirect effects of CO2 on crops, summarizes evidence of climate impacts on agriculture, and presents a case study using an ensemble of crop model simulations to design adaptation strategies for Indian groundnut under climate change. The study finds that better quantification of CO2 response parameter uncertainty is needed and that developing frameworks to assess projection robustness and partition uncertainties can help determine how to reduce risks and uncertainties.
This document summarizes recent climate change data and analyses for Hawaii. It finds that 110 plant species are historically extinct in Hawaii, with around 300 of 1100 native plant species currently threatened or endangered. A vulnerability assessment was conducted for all native plant species in the main Hawaiian islands to evaluate impacts of climate change. The assessment found that 55 species are projected to lose all suitable climate habitat by 2100 under one emissions scenario. Maps show modeled current and future species distributions and habitat priority areas. Projections indicate many species, including birds like the Hawaii Akepa, will need to shift ranges substantially by 2100 due to climate impacts.
The document discusses the need for "Conservation 3.0" given that while protected areas have increased dramatically, biodiversity continues to decline rapidly. It argues that conservation must broaden its approach beyond being technophobic and backward-looking to leverage new technologies like drones, 3D printing, synthetic biology, biomimicry and crowdsourcing to develop innovative solutions. These could include wildlife monitoring, restoration, developing sustainable alternatives to threatened species products, and engaging new communities in open source conservation efforts. The goal is to create a pipeline of conservation innovations to help address problems like climate change and meet the rising global demand for food and resources.

This document discusses adapting agriculture to climate variability and extreme events. It covers adapting at local, regional, and global scales through forecasting, using crop models and historical data to identify optimal planting dates, developing genetically adapted crop varieties, and enhancing systemic resilience through strategies like strategic storage, import diversification and flexible biofuel policies. The importance of understanding changes in extreme events for agricultural production is also emphasized.
Planning for Whitebait: Applying vulnerability assessment to īnanga spawning...Shane Orchard
1) The study evaluated how īnanga (whitebait) spawning habitat in the Avon Heathcote Estuary shifted after the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes and how threats and vulnerabilities may have changed.
2) It found that spawning habitat expanded significantly at two sites after the earthquakes but the new areas are exposed to unmanaged threats.
3) Management changes are needed to address both current threats and future risks from sea level rise to help ensure the long-term resilience of īnanga spawning habitat.
Presentation by Dr Sonja Vermeulen, Head of Research at CCAFS, about a study published in Nature Climate Change in March 2016, titled 'Timescales of transformational climate change adaptation in sub-Saharan African agriculture.'
Climate change is projected to outpace rates of niche change in grasses. The authors analyzed 236 grass species across three time-calibrated phylogenies to estimate past rates of climatic niche change. They compared these rates to projected rates of climate change by 2070 under different climate change scenarios. They found that projected rates of climate change for temperature and precipitation were consistently faster than past rates of niche change in grasses, often by thousands of times. This suggests that without rapid niche changes, many grass species may face extinction due to inability to adapt quickly enough to climate change through niche shifts. As grasses are fundamental to grassland ecosystems and human agriculture, these findings have troubling implications for global biodiversity and food security.
This Thematic Paper is part of a Toolkit for Project Design (Livestock Thematic Papers: Tools for Project Design) which reflects IFAD’s commitment to developing a sustainable livestock sector in which poor farmers and herders might have higher incomes, and better access to assets, services, technologies and markets.
The paper indents to be a practical tool for development practitioners, project designers and policymakers to define appropriate livestock development interventions. It also provides recommendations on critical issues for rural development and also possible responses and actions to encourage the socio-economic empowerment of poor livestock keepers.

The document discusses the concept of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and proposes expanding the focus to climate-smart food systems. CSA aims to improve agricultural productivity and livelihoods while adapting to climate change and reducing emissions. However, there is little empirical evidence of CSA's impacts and interventions often only address one goal. A food systems approach is needed to understand outcomes across the food chain and tradeoffs between climate goals. Case studies show how climate benefits can be lost if interventions only target agriculture and do not consider the broader food system. The authors conclude a climate-smart food systems framework is required to achieve climate goals and food security.
Healthy soil, an essential ingredient for healthy food and nutritionStankovic G
A healthy soil is essential for healthy food and nutrition as it provides ecosystem services like nutrient cycling and climate resilience. Soil biodiversity plays an important role as over 40% of terrestrial organisms are associated with soils. Soil biodiversity is important for provisioning ecosystem services like soil fertility, carbon cycling, and bioremediation. It also supports food security, quality, and safety by influencing the vitamin and micronutrient content of crops. More than half the world suffers from "hidden hunger" due to micronutrient deficiencies caused primarily by soil deficiencies. The presented project aims to promote sustainable soil management practices for nutrition-sensitive agriculture through field trials and capacity building in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, and Malawi over

Hyman stressed on the on-going activities related to livelihood themes, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and trade theme, the sentinel landscapes and mainstreaming gender in forests.
Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is important for food security, adaptation, and mitigation of climate change. CSA aims to achieve food security under changing climate conditions through practices that sustainably increase productivity, resilience (adaptation), and reduce greenhouse gases (mitigation). While research has identified over 120,000 data points on CSA practices, studies analyzing all three components of CSA are still limited. Developing comprehensive CSA plans requires assessing vulnerability and risks, prioritizing appropriate practices and programs, and establishing enabling policies and investment to take CSA to scale.
The document provides an overview of options for greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture. It discusses:
1) Agriculture contributes significantly to global emissions and reductions are necessary to meet climate targets. Many mitigation practices are compatible with sustainable development goals.
2) Key greenhouse gases from agriculture include methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. Soils can also store carbon.
3) Common mitigation practices discussed include alternate wetting and drying of rice fields, livestock management improvements, efficient fertilizer use, agroforestry, and reducing food loss and waste.
4) The EX-ACT tool is introduced as a way to estimate and compare emissions between baseline and project scenarios to identify mitigation opportunities in agriculture

Presentation from Nature Conservation Council of NSW 2017 Bushfire Conference - Fire, Fauna & Ferals: from backyards to bush.
The document discusses sustainable management of rainforests and potential solutions to deforestation. It describes the objectives of describing and evaluating solutions to deforestation and sustainable forest management that allows for present and future use of forest resources. Potential solutions mentioned include laws and policies, controlled logging, and afforestation/reforestation. The document then outlines a mock international forestry conference where groups will present on and debate which solution is best.
Deforestation is the cutting down or burning of trees in an area. It occurs to make way for agriculture, cattle farming, and construction of buildings. Deforestation harms the environment by reducing oxygen production, increasing carbon dioxide that causes global warming, and destroying animal habitats. It has already led to many species extinctions and the loss of over 750 million hectares of rainforest globally. Rising temperatures from deforestation could make the climate unlivable for future generations. Individual actions like planting trees and reducing paper usage can help curb deforestation.

The document discusses the causes and effects of deforestation in the Philippines. It notes that decades of deforestation in Cagayan de Oro City and nearby provinces left the area vulnerable to devastating flooding during heavy rains. The widespread conversion of rainforest to pineapple plantations removed the natural protections of the forest canopy. Experts agree the root cause is the destruction of forests through logging, farming, and development over the past century. This deforestation has led to problems like soil erosion, disrupted water cycles, biodiversity loss, and increased flooding and drought. Solutions discussed include reforestation efforts and implementing better forest management policies.
Deforestation is the removal of trees and forests for non-forest uses such as agriculture and urban development. Since the industrial age, about half of the world's original forests have been destroyed. Deforestation has major environmental impacts such as increased soil erosion, disruption of water cycles, reduced biodiversity, and climate change. It also disrupts livelihoods and causes disasters like landslides. Potential solutions include corporations implementing anti-deforestation policies, governments enacting ambitious forest protection policies, and individuals reducing paper usage and educating others.
Since the existence of humans, precious trees have been destroyed to provide shelter, food, heat and supplies for economic growth and development. Consistent and an increasing demand for products for human comfort, endangers large forests and the environment. Continuous deforestation is disrupting the natural balance of ecosystems. Populations fail to realize that their daily habits and patterns of energy and paper consumption is damaging in the long-run. As deforestation becomes more and more widespread, little is being done to preserve nature

This document discusses mapping areas that are vulnerable to increased food insecurity due to climate change across the global tropics. It outlines three components of vulnerability: exposure, sensitivity, and coping capacity. Nine exposure thresholds related to changes in temperature and precipitation are identified. Sensitivity is defined by dependence on crop agriculture. Coping capacity is proxied by chronic food insecurity. The three components are combined into eight vulnerability domains. Key conclusions are that climate hotspots show reductions in growing periods, increases in temperature extremes, and changes in dryness/rainfall intensity. Food security hotspots have stagnant food production, more poverty, and undernourishment. Next steps proposed include refining the analysis with additional coping capacity indicators and reducing the number
This OECD technical workshop will bring together leading experts on economic, biophysical, and integrated assessment modelling of the interactions between climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The workshop will take stock of ongoing modelling efforts to develop quantitative pathways to study the drivers and impacts of the triple planetary crisis, and the policies to address it. The aim is to identify robust modelling approaches to inform the work for the upcoming OECD Environmental Outlook.
Mapping hotspots of climate change and food insecurity across the global tropicsWorld Agroforestry (ICRAF)
The document discusses mapping areas vulnerable to food insecurity due to climate change across the global tropics. It outlines a framework to assess vulnerability based on 3 components: exposure, sensitivity, and coping capacity. Exposure looks at climate threats like reduced growing periods. Sensitivity considers dependence on agriculture. Coping capacity examines chronic food insecurity. Combining the 3 components results in 8 vulnerability domains, with high exposure, high sensitivity, low coping capacity considered most vulnerable to climate-induced food insecurity. The work aims to identify climate and food security hotspots to target adaptation efforts.
Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security CCAFS CIATCIAT
CCAFS aims to help agriculture and food systems adapt to and mitigate climate change through research. It has 4 themes: 1) adaptation to progressive climate change through technologies, practices and policies; 2) adaptation through managing climate risk at farm and food system levels; 3) pro-poor climate change mitigation; and 4) integration for decision making. Research is conducted in 3 focus regions - Indo-Gangetic Plains, West Africa, and East Africa - home to over 1 billion people dependent on agriculture. The goals are to close yield gaps, develop new adaptation strategies, and enable supportive policies and institutions from farm to national levels to strengthen food security under climate change.
Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment to Support Agricultural ResilienceLeo Kris Palao
CRVA a tool to spatially assess vulnerability to support communities at high risk to climate variability and change thru the provision of climate resilient agriculture (CRA). The project in the Philippines is funded by the Department of Agriculture - System Wide Climate Change Office (DA-SWCCO) to enhance farmer resilience in vulnerable areas. Watch out for the Landscape-CRVA that we are currently piloting in Isabela. This is also funded by DA-SWCCO.
This document discusses the implications of climate change on agriculture and small farmers' livelihoods. Crop prediction models are used to estimate the impact of climate change on the suitability of various crops. Results are then translated to analyze the effects on livelihoods using socioeconomic indicators and econometric models. Participatory workshops are recommended to identify best practices and adaptation strategies. While some crops may lose suitability, climate change also brings new opportunities. Adaptation requires site-specific management and preparing for change.
This the presentation I gave for my thesis defense. It\'s entitled "Using bioclimatic envelope modelling to incorporate spatial and temporal dynamics of climate change into conservation planning".
Chapter 4 - Adaptation: incremental or transformational?ipcc-media
The document discusses key findings from the IPCC's Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C regarding risks, adaptation, and limits at 1.5°C versus 2°C of global warming. Adaptation needs are substantially lower at 1.5°C compared to 2°C, though some sectors and regions face limits to adaptation. Both incremental and transformational adaptation are needed to stabilize at 1.5°C, while sustainable development can support transformations to climate-resilient pathways.

Strategies for Mitigation and Adaptation in Agriculture in context to Changin...Abhilash Singh Chauhan
- Agriculture is an important sector for India, contributing 17.32% to GDP and providing livelihoods for 54.6% of the population.
- Climate change is causing rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events that are negatively impacting agricultural production in India. Greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, such as from livestock, rice cultivation, and fertilizer use, are also contributing to climate change.
- Both adaptation and mitigation strategies are needed to address climate change in agriculture. Adaptation involves making crops, livestock, and farming practices more resilient to climate impacts. Mitigation focuses on reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions through practices like improved cropland management, livestock management,
