CGIAR’s participation in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has expanded markedly in the Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) cycle. In AR7, a total of 13 scientists from CGIAR centers have been selected as IPCC authors , a substantial increase from the 5 CGIAR scientists who served as authors in the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). This growth in representation shows

Young people across the MENA region are leading a quiet revolution in agriculture, driving innovation, boosting climate resilience, and laying the groundwork for long-term regional stability. But for this potential to translate into real transformation, youth must be at the center of the region’s agricultural future. This was the core message at the inaugural Youth Action Leadership for Agrifood Awareness
Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) National Action Plans are a powerful but underused tool for tackling the interconnected challenges of gender, climate, and conflict. Across the Mediterranean region, these plans often fail to address how climate change is deepening gendered vulnerabilities, and that omission is a missed opportunity. At the 2nd Mediterranean Climate Week, CGIAR’s MENA Climate Security Hub joined
Pastoral communities in the Karamoja Cluster (a region spanning Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, and Ethiopia) are experiencing increased tensions and conflicts over water, pasture and grazing lands [1], [2], [3].

Recognizing the critical role of open data in fostering informed decision-making, That’s why the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
Explicit mentions of climate security have been removed or weakened in recent UN mandates. For example, in Somalia’s recent UN transition mission mandate, signaling a possible deprioritization of long-term resilience-building measures. This trend may compromise efforts to address root causes of conflict, leaving missions ill-prepared to handle future conflicts triggered by climate change. We highlighted this concern in our paper,
CGIAR is participating in the 62nd session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB62) in Bonn with a clear mission: to elevate food and agriculture within the global climate agenda. With agriculture and land use contributing nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions—yet historically receive only 4.3% of climate finance—CGIAR is advocating for a more balanced and evidence-based approach to climate
The 7th meeting of The Glasgow Committee on Non-Market Approach (GCNMA) is to take place between 16 June and 26 June 2025 during the 62nd meeting of the UN Climate Convention Subsidiary Bodies (SB) in Bonn. The decisions of this meeting will determine the future of the implementation of Article 6.8 non-market-based approaches (NMAs) under the Paris Agreement which has
