The primary objective of this working paper is to review literature (i.e., peer-reviewed and grey) on the extent to which women’s full and effective participation in climate change policies at different scales; defined at the level at which a policy is implemented, including macro, meso and micro; improve women’s resilience to climate change and environmental hazards.

Small-scale fisheries account for 90% of global fishers and 40% of the global catch. Effectively managing small-scale fisheries is, therefore, crucial to progressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Co-management and community-based fisheries management are widely considered the most appropriate forms of governance for many small-scale fisheries.

The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop an empirically applicable methodology for capturing and evaluating the critical linkages between the relative success of transformative adaptation options and their relative effectiveness as determined by the underlying institutions and infrastructures at various scales and contexts.

Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) is a project being implemented in Africa to help deliver a climate-smart African future, driven by science and innovation in agriculture.

Seven shrubs' species were evaluated in this study including three leguminous forage species (Medicago arborea, Colutea istria and Coronilla glauca), three Atriplex species (A.

Population growth, rapid urbanization, and dietary changes are placing tremendous pressure on food systems, particularly in developing countries.

Most of the smallholder farmers in Mali are confronted with multifaceted challenges, which include low productivity, post-harvest crop losses, underdeveloped markets, vulnerability to climate change, and gender inequality affecting the distribution of resources.

Traditional pastoralism is a unique and resilient system for ensuring adaptation to climate change. This adaptation is particularly important to deal with a dynamic process of unpredictable climate variability and permanent human interactions in dryland ecosystems in Africa.
