This is a presentation by Duncan MacQueen, principal researcher at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), about the importance of including smallholder producers and producer organisations in sustainable value chains to strengthen local resilience to external shocks.
Macqueen used the example of his work with the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) program at the FTA Science Conference 2020. The presentation focuses on the role of commercial organisation around accountable finance systems at four tiered levels: local producer groups, regional aggregators and processors, national advocacy federations, international alliances.

Women paying the health cost of the climate crisisIIED
The impacts of climate change result in both economic and non-economic losses and damages. While economic impacts often receive attention through policy and programming, the non-economic losses remain largely invisible and unaddressed, particularly in climate finance.
The presentation by IIED principal researcher Ritu Bharadwaj, from an online event in March 2024, focuses on the loss and damage faced by women battling drought, debt bondage and migration in Beed, India.
The presentation examines how women are disproportionately affected by climate change, looking at the connections between climate-induced droughts and debt bondage, and significant impacts on women's physical and mental health – leading to drastic health decisions.
It introduces the innovative C-CIQ methodology, which is a comprehensive approach allowing for in-depth assessment of climate change impacts, encompassing not only physical and economic aspects but also the social, cultural and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The C-CIQ methodology, with its emphasis on simplicity, replicability and clarity, aims to provide a framework for quantifying non-economic loss and damage through composite indices, making it a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Adaptability of peri-urban agricultural workers towards resilienceIIED
This case study highlights the way that women working in peri-urban agriculture in India have to adapt to changing circumstances in order to sustain themselves and their families.
It was produced by Siddharth Agarwal, Kanupriya Kothiwal, Shabnam Verma and Sampurna Kundu of the Urban Health Resource Centre, India.
Conclusions include agricultural work being one of the major forms of livelihood for peri-urban workers. Many peri-urban workers chose this form of work because they already had the skills from their native rural farms.
Women find agricultural work convenient because of its self-paced nature and because farms are mostly close to where they live. Food security is another benefit, as many women are able to procure vegetables and food grains from their farming work.
Peri-urban women workers are resilient, adapting to an ever-changing peri-urban ecosystem and often pursuing an additional livelihood in seasons when agricultural work is not available. Their strategy of forming links with more than one employer offering different forms of work is key to this resilience.
They are also preparing themselves for a future when farms will be sold to developers and builders, and express anxiety about the uncertainty of sustaining agriculture work in the future.
The adaptability and resilience shown by the workers can be tailored to other situations and promoted among vulnerable urban women workers.

Stitching their trajectories with determination: stories from Indore, IndiaIIED
Many women in Indore work as informal home-based garment workers. This case study demonstrates their commitment to investing in equipment and learning new skills in order to contribute to the family income.
Behind closed doors lies a vast segment of largely invisible women and girls working in India’s flourishing garment industry.
Women working from home account for about 14% of urban employment in India. In low- and middle-income countries, outsourced garment production thrives on account of cheap labour to keep the levels of production high and costs low.
Through pursuing sewing, women can overcome the limitations of little or no education or formal training. Most women stitchers enhance their skills through experience. This helps them get regular and progressively higher paying piece-rate work.

The term "governance" covers all the structures and processes aimed at making decisions for a collective entity. It plays a key role in all aspects of development. Women’s voices are consistently under-represented in governance bodies, whether they are public, such as local councils and land allocation committees, or private organisations, such as producer organisations and cooperatives.
In this presentation, researchers from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) argue that good governance must involve the active participation of women in decision-making. But they found there is limited evidence of what works, and how, in promoting women’s voices across different sectors.
To identify the critical factors that enable local women to effectively participate in public and private governance, the researchers studied projects tackling land rights, climate finance and sustainable markets in three African countries: Tanzania, Ghana and Senegal.
The presenters are law, gender and development specialist Philippine Sutz, an associate in IIED's Natural Resources research group; Emilie Beauchamp, senior researcher in IIED's Strategy and Learning Group; and Anna Bolin, senior researcher in IIED's Natural Resources research group.

"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.
