 ‘Climate-smart agriculture’ (CSA)—agriculture and food systems that sustainably increase food production, improve resilience (or adaptive capacity) of farming systems, and mitigate climate change when possible—has quickly been integrated into the global development agenda. However, the empirical evidence base for CSA has not been assembled, complicating the transition from CSA concept to concrete actions, and contributing to ideological disagreement among development practitioners. Thus, there is an urgent need to evaluate current knowledge on the effectiveness of CSA to achieve its intended benefits and inform discourse on food, agriculture, and climate change. This systematic review intends to establish the scientific evidence base of CSA practices to inform the next steps in development of agricultural programming and policy.

This information note discusses the findings from CCAFS submisssion to the UNFCCC SBSTA on Impact of climate change on African agriculture: focus on pests and diseases.

This booklet provides examples of climate-smart systems by showcasing some FAO success stories in various countries. The cases have been selected from the FAO Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) Sourcebooklaunched in 2013 to show the diversity of poten al op ons across different regions and agricultural systemsalso covering subjects such as biodiversity and gender.

This report presents a summary of the presentations and evaluates the discussions and feedback from participants collected through Q&A on the presentations, the panel discussion and chat boxes dedicated to specific questions around the topic of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and the contents of the webinar.

This brief synthesizes knowledge within CGIAR on agricultural practices and technologies that enhance food security, resilience and productivity. This brief has been prepared for the benefit of parties and observers making submissions to the UNFCCC SBSTA 44 on issues related to agriculture.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a systematic approach to agricultural development. It intends to address climate change and food security challenges simultaneously across levels, from field management to national policy, with goals to 1) improve food security and agricultural productivity, 2) increase the resilience of farming systems to climate change, and 3) mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or sequester carbon. After the introduction of the CSA concept in 2010, development organizations, national governments, and donors have quickly adopted a “climate-smart” agenda.

This is a Vulnerability Sourcebook Annex for the Vulnerability Sourcebook Standardized vulnerability assessments support adaptation planning and evaluation sourcebook.

This report provides an introduction to the different approaches and experiences in designing and implementing, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems for adaptation at these aggregated levels.

This policy brief aims at stimulating and enriching discussions without attempting to provide a final answer to the question of synergies and links between adaptation components in intended nationally determined contributions(INDCs) and the  national adaptation plan (NAP) process.

This guidebook is based on examples from countries that have recently or are currently developing national adaptation Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems.
