IFPRI Egypt Seminar Series provides a platform for all people striving to identify and implement evidence-based policy solutions that sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. The series is part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project called “Evaluating Impact and Building Capacity” (EIBC) that is implemented by IFPRI.
The Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project works to deliver a climate-smart African future driven by science and innovation in agriculture.
AICCRA does this by enhancing access to climate information services and climate-smart agricultural technology to millions of smallholder farmers in Africa.
With better access to climate technology and advisory services—linked to information about effective response measures—farmers can better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative action that help communities better safeguard their livelihoods and the environment.
AICCRA is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, which is used to enhance research and capacity-building activities by the CGIAR centers and initiatives as well as their partners in Africa.
About IDA: IDA helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programmes that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives.
IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 76 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa.
Annual IDA commitments have averaged about $21 billion over circa 2017-2020, with approximately 61 percent going to Africa.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

“Climate finance typically refers to the financial resources paid to cover
the costs of transitioning to a low-carbon global economy and to adapt
to, or build resilience against, current and future climate change impacts”
9. Recent estimates indicate that US$320-350 billion are required each year
for the transformation of food and land use systems
Recent studies indicate that the global costs of adaptation per year could
range from:
• US$140 billion to US$300 billion by 2030; and
• US$280 billion to US$500 billion by 2050
The financing gap for adaptation in agriculture in Africa is estimated at:
$20-30 billion per year by 2030*

The food and agriculture sectors represent enormous business
opportunities for the implementation of the SDGs:
• Estimates indicate that a yearly investment of US$ 320 billion by private
companies in sustainable business models in food and agriculture could
unlock over US$2.3 trillion annually by 2030
• These could generate almost 80 million jobs by 2030, with over 90% in
developing countries*

Understanding climate finance flows for NDC implementation
24. There are several tools that can help Governments and their partners redirect climate
finance for NDC implementation. They can be used to:
Inform the design of land use mitigation and adaptation strategies supported
by multilateral and bilateral programs
Identify domestic and international financial instruments to redirect public and
private finance towards greener land-use practices; and
Encourage coordination between public instruments across land-use sectors

Understanding climate finance flows for NDC implementation
25. Centre de Suivi Ecologique (Senegal) and the National Environment Management
Authority (Kenya) got together to help each other access climate finance:
• In 2010, CSE was the first national institution to access international climate finance (AF)
and, later on, received approval for GCF funding
• NEMA also got approval to access funds from both the AF and the GCF
Lessons from their interactions:
• Develop and maintain a strong relationship with partners executing projects on the
ground
• Create clear procedures and templates to support effective project implementation
• Engage communities in all stages of the project cycle

26. The Government of Rwanda developed a national climate change and environment
fund (FONERWA) which was built on a Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy
• Responds to Rwanda’s current and future financing needs for environment, climate
change and green growth to accelerate national sustainable economic development
• It has already approved 42 projects and supported 106,980 people to cope with effects
of climate change
Lessons for other countries:
• Monitoring and evaluation plans are critical to ensure long term sustainability and
sufficiency of climate finance
• It is key to use existing climate finance to leverage additional capital, including
from the private sector

27. Colombia has built climate finance tracking with an online portal
• Over 15,000 climate change actions registered
• Total of approx. $6 bn from domestic and international public sources (2011-2015)
• Online platform shows aggregated data and project-level information, with filters
to select different variables
Lessons for other countries:
• Create a definition of climate finance that fits country context but is
internationally relevant
• Engage with national and international institutions that will provide information
for the system and formalize their roles
• Leave room for improving the quality of the data

29. Key messages
Financial needs to meet adaptation goals in Africa are very high.
There is financing available to meet the adaptation and mitigation targets;
the majority of it does not come from multilateral institutions like the Green
Climate Fund.
Governments should think broadly about the sources of climate finance and
how best to access and make use of it.
Financial flows need to be tracked. Seek out lessons from other countries.
