Experts in agriculture and innovation convened to engage in an open and inclusive dialogue on developing and deploying agritech solutions in Egypt. On 7 February 2024 at Cairo, CGIAR Centers – Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, ICARDA, IWMI, IFPRI, and supported by the CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP) – in collaboration with the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology

‘The Climate and Us’ was launched by BBC StoryWorks and the Global Climate & Health Alliance in October 2023, sharing case studies from across the world that underscore how the natural environment and human health are interdependent. The series includes four short episodes produced for CGIAR, including one about an Alliance project in Sri Lanka, restoring ancient water management ‘tank

Written by Marianne Gadeberg Longstanding engagement with Kenya’s ministries of environment and agriculture as well as county governments has enabled researchers from the CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience (ClimBeR) to influence national and county-level policies aiming to leverage climate action for peace and security. Climate change poses significant threats to Kenya’s agricultural sector, food security, and overall peace and security.

Environmental challenges in the Aral Sea basin have wide-ranging consequences, affecting local ecosystems, socioeconomics, climate, and the health of its inhabitants. The Aral Sea basin in Central Asia has been plagued by severe and ongoing environmental degradation. The excessive diversion of water for cotton farming has caused the sea to retract dramatically, leading to ecological imbalances and the emergence of

As climate shocks intensify, ecosystems degrade, and governments struggle with mounting disaster bills, a quietly critical question is emerging in global sustainability circles: What does it actually cost to govern a landscape well? For years, research and investment have focused on the technical side of landscape management – new technologies, restoration methods, and farm-level innovations. But beneath every successful landscape

The world’s largest ecosystem, aquatic food systems, which include freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystems, are directly advancing the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to eradicating poverty, achieving food security, improving nutrition, empowering women and promoting economic growth Read more

On 15 October 2025, the A4IP Flagship Event convened leaders from research, industry, government, finance, and the startup ecosystem to explore how science based solutions in agrifood, climate, and sustainability can move from discovery to large-scale deployment in a rapidly changing world.

CGIAR scientists and their partners know better than most the potential scientific innovation holds to generate impact toward sustainable agriculture and climate action. However, in the complex food systems innovation ecosystem, challenges such as misalignment between innovative solutions and market demands, perceived risks, intellectual property concerns, cultural mismatches, and regulatory intricacies all hinder scalability. How can we ensure that agricultural
