Join ClimBeR at CGIAR Science Week in Nairobi, Kenya
CGIAR Science Week is a call to the global community for greater investment in climate and agriculture R&D to design a sustainable, food-secure future where those most vulnerable are resilient to climate shocks and impacts. Unlocking innovation for climate resilience requires a combination of investment in climate and agriculture R&D, the right mix of strategic partnerships, and co-creating solutions together
Join ClimBeR at CGIAR Science Week in Nairobi, Kenya
CGIAR Science Week is a call to the global community for greater investment in climate and agriculture R&D to design a sustainable, food-secure future where those most vulnerable are resilient to climate shocks and impacts. Unlocking innovation for climate resilience requires a combination of investment in climate and agriculture R&D, the right mix of strategic partnerships, and co-creating solutions together with the communities that need them the most.
At CGIAR Science Week, ClimBeR will demonstrate:
- How our science helps enhance resilience through the transformative adaptation of land, water, and food systems
- How our innovations help address climate action/climate resilience
- How we co-design and co-create solutions together with partners and local communities to spur locally-led climate action for community resilience
- How we integrate a social equity approach to operationalize transformative methodologies and minimize maladapation
The CGIAR Research Initiative on Climate Resilience (#ClimBeR) will be at CGIAR Science Week and participate in, and lead several events.
