At the The World Bank, a new “vision indicator” is reshaping how we think about climate vulnerability by starting with people, not countries. Everyone agrees climate finance should go to the most vulnerable but who are they? Some countries deemed most at risk receive over $2,000 per person in adaptation finance, while others get under $1. 📺 Learn more in their event at the #COP30 #FoodAgPavilion: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eq6N897U Center for Global Development COP30 Brazil

Meet Rica Joy Flor, CGIAR Scientist II, Innovation Systems at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), who’s dedicated her career to bridging technology and real-life farming practices. "I work with farmers, policymakers, and private sector partners to remove barriers to scaling innovations – so technologies like mechanized direct seeding can reach farmers and improve their livelihoods." Swipe through to learn more about Rica’s role at CGIAR and what motivates her to keep the needle moving. #CGIAR #WorkingAtCGIAR #Innovations #GlobalScience

Climate services work only when they reach everyone, including women farmers who often have less access to digital tools. That’s why efforts are focus on understanding their needs and using the channels that truly reach them. A core point raised at #COP30 session: Who needs national frameworks for climate services anyway? 📺 Watch the session 👉 https://lnkd.in/eaEaQ4-g COP30 Brazil

Open-air markets are essential for food access and livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they generate large amounts of organic waste that current management systems struggle to handle. A new report by the CGIAR Food Frontiers and Security, CGIAR Multifunctional Landscapes and International Water Management Institute (IWMI) examines waste-to-value technologies in Ghana, and their suitability for different market waste types, using consultations, technical assessments, and literature review. Poor segregation, inadequate infrastructure, and limited processing capacity lead to environmental damage, health risks, and missed opportunities for resource recovery. 🔗 Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eWrzzFqp

🌱 Living Labs are real-world, citizen-centered platforms where farmers and communities co-create climate solutions. This session at #COP30 explored locally led climate adaptation: a ‘business unusual’ agenda for research and development, where participants compared different approaches to implementing locally led adaptation 📺 Watch the entire session 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTFMhxHe COP30 Brazil International Water Management Institute (IWMI) International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) International Rice Research Institute CIMMYT International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)

🌾 Climate-resilient rice is helping farming families adapt to climate change in South Asia. For smallholder farmers in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, droughts and floods can mean failed harvests, lost income, and food insecurity. CGIAR-supported rice varieties are changing this story. By combining higher productivity with greater reliability in harvests, these varieties are strengthening livelihoods and improving food security. Families are not only producing more but are also less vulnerable to crop failure, helping them withstand climate shocks and secure their nutrition. These results show how climate-resilient rice can transform risk into resilience and provide a pathway to a more food-secure future. 🔗 Learn more in the CGIAR Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/dfVM8gbS #WithScienceWeCan #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity

By connecting climate-smart agriculture with public procurement and education systems, school meals can become a driver of climate resilience, nutrition and sustainable development.

🌱 🌾 Tourism and agriculture are deeply connected, especially in places like Belize and Jamaica, where food is at the heart of it. Local dishes, local farms and local economies all move together. That’s why mapping the agricultural contribution to tourism is essential. This conversation is part of the #COP30 session on Advancing the COP28 Food System Declaration, highlighting how agrifood systems can be better integrated into climate and development policies, and how foresight and evidence can support countries in turning those goals into action. 📺 Watch the full session 👉 https://lnkd.in/egGsbvsp #FoodAgPavilion #WithScienceWeCan COP30 Brazil International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)
