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

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 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.

Climate Information for Mitigation and AdaptationCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Walther E. Baethgen asks and answers some of the most important questions concerning climate change:
Adaptation to What?
What Can We Expect?
What Mitigation options are likely to succeed?
Also it presents many interesting scenarios all related to climate change: for example how it would affect socioeconomics and vice versa.

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.

In general the US is seeing more precipitation and the timing and intensity of precipitation is also changing. While global temperatures are increasing, it is the variability and intensity of temperatures that are of greatest consequence to animal agriculture.
Climate change is a major threat to sustainable food security. Temperatures are rising, precipitation patterns are changing, and extreme weather events are occurring more frequently. As a result, producing enough to feed a growing population is becoming more challenging. Everyone in the agriculture sector must adapt—and quickly. Delays now will raise the costs in the future.

Globally, agriculture is responsible for 10 – 14% of GHG emissions and largest source of no-CO2 GHG emissions. Countries can choose among technologies with different emission characteristics and we believe it's less costly to avoid high-emissions lock-in than replace them, so EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE LEDS is key.

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.
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".
GFW partners (IUCN, BirdLife International, UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and Resolve) will introduce a new initiative to increase the value and uptake of GFW for forest biodiversity conservation and planning. They share proposed methods for integrating a broad spectrum of biodiversity data into GFW and invite feedback on the overall “GFW Biodiversity” vision.

• ¿Cómo asegurar que no se desvíen recursos que son fundamentales para el desarrollo de las comunidades rurales debido a la pandemia?
• ¿Cómo desde la ciencia podemos ayudar a mitigar las repercusiones económicas que enfrentan y/o enfrentarán los agricultores debido al Covid-19?
• ¿Cómo cambia la coyuntura actual la manera de hacer investigación agrícola? ¿Qué deberíamos cambiar?
• ¿Qué cambios supondrá la pandemia para la cadena de abastecimientos de alimentos de los países de América Latina?
