    Bhutan, Asia, Southern Asia

    Bhutan is least developed, mountainous and landlocked country in the eastern Himalayan range with a population of over 600,000. However its population and ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change. Despite a high level of environmental protection and awareness, Bhutan has become a victim of the global impacts of climate change caused by emissions in other countries. There is little historical climate data available in Bhutan; current records date back only to 1994. Consequently, the future climate scenario for Bhutan is uncertain.

    Senegal, Western Africa, Africa, Southern Asia

    This report summarizes the proceedings of the workshop “Scaling Up Climate
    Services for Farmers in Africa and South Asia,” held in Saly, Senegal on December
    10-12, 2012. The workshop brought together more than 100 experts from 30 countries
    and roughly 50 institutions to grapple with the challenge of supporting vulnerable
    farming communities through the production, communication, delivery and evaluation
    of effective agrometeorological information and advisory services; and to identify
    practical actions to address those challenges at scale.

    This report explores evidence and insights from five case studies that have made significant recent progress in addressing the challenge of insuring poor smallholder farmers and pastoralists in the developing world. In India, national index insurance programmes have reached over 30 million farmers through a mandatory link with agricultural credit and strong government support. In East Africa (Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania), the Agriculture and Climate Risk Enterprise (ACRE) has recently scaled to reach nearly 200,000 farmers, bundling index insurance with agricultural credit and farm inputs.

    The Karkheh Basin Focal Project was designed to collect and organize baseline information

    for future researchers and to highlight future research needs. All collected data is available

    in the IDIS system. The specific research findings and recommendations for the basin are

    1) The use of non-agricultural water measures is likely to be a more effective solution to

    remaining rural poverty in the Karkheh basin and Iran; 2) In the short to medium term,

    agricultural water policy and research should focus on improvements in physical water

    Improving On-farm Agricultural Water Productivity in the Karkheh River Basin

    (KRB) was a CPWF project that aimed at enhancement of agricultural water

    productivity (WP) under irrigated and rainfed conditions in Karkheh River Basin. It

    was launched in Iran through the partnership of ICARDA and the Iranian NARES

    under the Agricultural Extension, Education, and Research Organization.

    The project lasted for more than four years between 2004 and 2008. Whereas

    capacity building was an important part of the agenda, PN8 was a participatory,

    The “Improving water productivity, reducing poverty and enhancing equity in mixed crop-livestock systems in the Indo-Gangetic Basin”

    was designed and conducted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI),

    in partnership with international and national partners, to address the relative neglect of

    livestock water needs of crop-livestock farming systems.

    The primary objective of this project was to optimize the productive use of water in the

    crop-livestock farming systems of semi-arid areas to enhance livelihoods, reduce

    The document attempts to distil what is currently known about the likely impacts of climate change on the commodities and natural resources that comprise the mandate of CGIAR and its 15 Centres. It was designed as one background document for a review carried out by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) at the behest of the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) on what is known about the likely effects of climate change on food security and nutrition, with a focus on the most affected and vulnerable regions and populations.
