UNFCCC: Paris Agreement
 Common cause to undertake ambitious
efforts to combat climate change and adapt
to its effects.
 Enhanced support to assist developing
countries.
 Strengthen the global response to the threat
of climate change by keeping a global
temperature rise this century well below 2
degrees Celsius.
 New technology and enhanced capacity
building frameworks needed.

UNFCCC: Joint SBSTA-SBI deliberations
 All Parties have emphasized that agriculture and
food production are highly affected by the
adverse effects of climate change, climate
variability and extreme weather events,
particularly in developing country Parties.
 Parties gave many specific examples of climate
change impacts on agriculture observed in their
countries, including: decline in crop productivity;
changing planting dates; displacement of
agricultural frontiers; changes in the life cycles
of pests and diseases; changes in precipitation
patterns (increase in precipitation variability,
heavy or erratic rainfall leading to flooding and
landslides and/or drought, cyclones or deficient
monsoons, periodical water scarcity or stress and
devastating hailstorms); and desertification and
soil degradation.

Climate change impacts on insects
Biber-Freudenberger et al. 2016, Plos One
Current Future
Current Future Current Future
 Pests, diseases, and other biotic
stresses are major threats to food and
nutrition security as well as the health
of crops, livestock, humans and
ecosystems.
 Climate change will affect the
distribution and dynamics of such
poikilothermic pests.

Climate change impacts on insects
 Global climate changes affect
species distributions, life histories,
community composition, and
ecosystem function.
 50% of these wild species are
already affected by climate change
 15% to 37% of the species may
become extinct by 2050
 Parasitoids and hyperparasitoids
are organisms for which severe
impacts are expected, as they
represent the third and fourth
trophic levels.
 Both hosts and parasitoids are
affected by extreme temperatures,
and any effect on the host has
consequences on the inhabiting
parasitoids.

 Our Climate-informed One Health approach focuses on the nexus
of crop, livestock, human and ecosystem health, pest and disease
epidemiology and control, food production, safety and nutrition and
climate change as a complex public health issue.

One-Health approach for managing climate-driven pests
and diseases
 Support to farmers’
management of biorisks
 Cross-government
approaches to address
climate-driven food-health
risks
 Institutionalized capabilities for
early detection of emerging
threats and rapid response
 Deploy new technologies for
biocontrol.

Priority areas (one-health approach):
 Horizon scanning, Citizen science, Early
Warning and Rapid Response (EWRR)
 Management of climate-driven biorisks
Key partners :
 Farmers
 NARS
 Regional Bodies for Ag Research
 International Ag Research Organizations
 Private sector, etc.
Our strategy

15. IITA is a member of the CGIAR System Organization.
www.iita.org | www.cgiar.org
 Catalyse collaborative linkages between
national, regional and international research
and training institutions on climate smart
agriculture and foster synergies in the
development and deployment of IITA
activities in West and Central Africa
 Be a leading specialised Regional
Reference Centre for quality research and
training towards developing a climate-smart
agriculture through a One-Health approach
 Produce knowledge and technological
innovations, and contribute to capacity
building in the target countries for
sustainably addressing challenges posed
by biotic stresses and climate change on
agricultural production
Our strategy

Developing Robust EWRR system:
Connecting FIA to VIPS in Mali-Niger
Integrating an IITA Farmer Interface App
(FIA) to a Pest Forecast Tool (VIPS)
developed by NIBIO to combat FAW: FIA
will guide field scouting, enable timely
interventions and provide advisory
services in local languages

 Users navigate in the FIA through symbols as action
buttons
 Provision for voice commands in local languages for
certain actions or required inputs
 Integrates short educational/training animation videos
which will display in local languages 1) how the FIA
works; 2) some basic aspects of pest biology and
ecology, including recognition of life stages and damage
symptoms; 3) when and how to scout; 4) when and how
to take appropriate protection measures, e.g. spraying
bio-pesticides.
