Scaling up integrated shrimp-mangrove aquaculture: a call for area-based mana...
This document discusses the need for area-based management and certification of integrated shrimp-mangrove aquaculture to improve sustainability and resilience. It notes the "boom and bust" cycles of traditional shrimp farming have degraded mangroves and increased economic risks. While integrated systems provide ecological benefits, existing regulations and market incentives often undermine investments in these systems. The document argues for a landscape-scale approach that aligns ecosystem services, trade policies, and regulations to generate benefits beyond the farm level and enable the transition to more sustainable integrated mangrove-shrimp production.
Living Labs For Iwrm Rev2
The document discusses the challenges of integrated sustainable water resource management and proposes a methodological framework using living labs. It outlines the complex issues around development processes, innovation, policy landscapes and climate change uncertainties. It then proposes a living labs approach to address these challenges through effective research-policy dialogue, impact assessment frameworks, and future development scenarios. The framework aims to integrate social dynamics with scenarios to identify scaling-up mechanisms and policy recommendations.
Adaptation 2
This document outlines a conceptual framework and proposed methodology for investigating the adequacy of adaptation strategies to climate impacts like sea level rise, drought, and flooding. It involves:
1) Analyzing factors that influence climate impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies through a literature review and meta-analysis.
2) Conducting pilot studies in select communities across regions to develop and test methods for assessing coping strategies and their outcomes on food security, livelihoods, and the environment.
3) Developing climate-resilient policy recommendations based on evidence from evaluating current adaptation strategies and their societal consequences. The goal is to generate generally applicable methods for assessing rural producers' strategies under climate change.
Nile Basin Development Challenge: Rainwater management systems
The document discusses the Nile Basin Development Challenge, which focuses on improving rainwater management systems in Ethiopia. Specifically:
1) The NBDC will examine issues of rainwater management at landscape and sub-basin scales in the Ethiopian highlands.
2) The research will focus on understanding causes and consequences of low rainwater productivity, as well as innovations for improving rainwater management systems to address poverty, vulnerability, land degradation and downstream impacts.
3) A participatory monitoring and evaluation framework will be used to track progress and make adjustments to the research.
Adaptation
This document outlines a conceptual framework for investigating the adequacy of adaptation strategies to climate drivers like sea level rise, drought, and flooding. It examines the factors at different geographical scales that influence the impacts of climate change and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies. These include biophysical, institutional, technological, economic, social, and policy/cultural factors. The framework then evaluates the effects of climate impacts and adaptation strategies on governance, livelihoods, gender/social equity, and resource degradation. It aims to identify effective adaptation strategies under future climate conditions and the governance needed to implement them.

From Simple to Complex – Phytobiomes and the 2050 Vision for Agriculture
Kellye Eversole, Executive Director, Phytobiomes Alliance & the IWGSC
Phytobiomes are plants in a biome (a specific geophysical environment - e.g., soil, weather -- and all macro- and micro-organisms – e.g., microbes, insects, animals associated with the specific site). Phytobiomes research is a holistic, systems-level approach that integrates many disciplines including geophysics, biology, breeding, agronomy, modeling, and engineering. By focusing on the phytobiome, we will be able to elucidate, quantify, model, predict, act, manipulate, prevent, and ultimately prescribe the cropping systems, methods, and management practices most suited for sustainable production on a particular farm, grassland, or forest. The International Alliance for Phytobiomes Research, an industry-academic consortium, was created in 2016 to bring this vision to fruition. The phytobiomes concept and the research and resource priorities of the Phytobiomes Alliance will be presented.

Strategic Action Planning for Revival of Bangalore Lakes outlines challenges facing the city's lakes. Rapid urbanization led to increased land and infrastructure needs, resulting in loss of forest cover. Untreated sewage, waste and industrial runoff pollute lakes. Encroachments changed land use and interrupted connecting channels. A coordinated, long-term strategic plan is needed to address issues from a watershed perspective using modern tools. Community involvement and innovative financing models are crucial for conservation.

The document summarizes a participatory scenario development workshop held in Tajikistan to build capacity on climate change impacts and identify adaptation needs. The workshop brought together stakeholders from different regions to discuss observed and projected climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and potential adaptation options. Many of the identified local adaptation needs were found to align with priorities in Tajikistan's national climate adaptation plan. However, larger-scale and additional actions are still needed to improve adaptive capacity. The workshop helped strengthen collaboration between local and regional actors and identify next steps to further assess climate risks and integrate adaptation into development planning.

Circular Bioeconomies: Most relevant UKCEH research - Claus SvendsenNatural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) / Luonnonvarakeskus (Luke)
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) conducts research on circular bioeconomies through several projects: 1) Studying the benefits and risks of applying waste to land, such as sewage sludge, to recycle resources while managing contaminants. 2) Analyzing the life-cycle greenhouse gas balance of bioenergy crops to understand where planting maximizes climate benefits. 3) Developing tools to help farmers identify suitable land for different environmental management options. UKCEH research aims to apply understanding of sustainable land use to challenges worldwide.Understanding Resilience
The document discusses WFP's CLEAR project in Cambodia which aims to 1) identify livelihoods most at risk from climate change impacts like irregular rainfall and drought and 2) inform ongoing and new food security programs. The project analyzed 271 micro livelihood zones across Cambodia to understand their climate sensitivity and resilience. Field visits and meetings with local governments helped identify which zones are most vulnerable to impacts like less uniform rainfall. This analysis then guided community engagement to understand local priorities and needs to help design effective food security programming.

This document summarizes the results of an online survey assessing how different stakeholders have used and implemented the principles of the revised 2015 World Soil Charter. The survey received 87 responses, mostly from Asia and partner institutions of the Global Soil Partnership. It found that awareness of the revised charter is still low, and that implementation of its principles faces barriers like lack of funding and policies. Suggestions to promote the charter include increasing awareness, improving communication, and establishing reward systems for sustainable soil management. The conclusions call for more stakeholder commitment and advocacy to fully implement the revised World Soil Charter.
Seeding Science Knowledge by engaging local experts
This document discusses engaging local experts and farmers in climate change action and climate smart agriculture. It proposes a framework where scientists provide knowledge to experts, experts give practical feedback to farmers, and farmers test practices and provide feedback. Local experts would help implement best practices, monitor activities, and act as knowledge brokers between farmers and outside experts. The goal is to engage stakeholders to develop context-specific solutions, test and implement them, and share results to scale up effective practices.

Value proposition for systems research by Richard Thomas (DS-ICARDA)
Integrated Systems Research develops and tests combinations of technical, market, governance and policy options to improve agricultural livelihood systems. The research improves understanding of local contexts to enhance targeting of potential interventions and scale out successful systems. The focus is on total farm productivity, including closing yield gaps in the most relevant components for smallholders. Future directions include refining indicators, developing systems research methods, accelerating cross-CRP learning, engaging higher-level organizations to achieve impact at scale, and building systems research capacity.
CCAFS Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. As the concentration of greenhouse gases rises, crop suitability and yields are already changing, threatening food security. To meet growing demands, food production will need to increase by 60-70% by 2050. Left unchecked, climate change could result in 20% more malnourished children by 2050. The document outlines the research objectives and activities of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) to help adapt agriculture to climate change and reduce poverty through low-carbon pathways.

This document summarizes the aims and methods of the CCCEP (Climate, Crop and Climate Epidemiology) project, which integrated local and scientific knowledge on climate change vulnerability in dryland systems. The project used participatory research across multiple case studies to develop both qualitative and quantitative understandings of vulnerability. Frameworks and modeling approaches were developed to analyze exposure, impact and adaptation across spatial and temporal scales. The process of developing narratives, models and recommendations helped stimulate discussion and identify potential policy interventions. While tensions exist between scientific and local knowledge, the project found value in communication across approaches to better understand system dynamics and identify actions at local to national levels.

Climat Change ILRI
This document discusses adaptation to climate change through managing climate risk in Ethiopia. It outlines Ethiopia's national framework for disaster risk reduction, which includes six components: prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, recovery/rehabilitation, and institutional strengthening. The framework aims to mainstream disaster risk reduction into development plans and programs. Examples of possible adaptation measures in Ethiopia include changing agricultural practices, switching to more drought-tolerant crops, adopting irrigation and changing crop locations. Gender mainstreaming is also important in the adaptation process to ensure strategies do not increase inequality.

New climate-resilient, disease-resistant chickpea varieties coming farmers’ way
Three new chickpea varieties have been developed with enhanced drought tolerance, disease resistance, and increased yield. These varieties were created using genomics-assisted breeding by ICRISAT and ICAR. The new varieties are awaiting approval for cultivation by Indian farmers. Genomics-assisted breeding has delivered six high-yielding chickpea varieties to India in the last three years. Improved chickpea varieties are needed due to drought threats in chickpea growing regions, as drought can cause up to 60% yield losses annually. ICRISAT is leading efforts in genetic analysis of drought tolerance and disease resistance in chickpea using advanced sequencing technologies.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
