This document outlines the CCAFS Phase 2 program to address challenges of climate change adaptation and food security. It has 4 flagships: 1) climate-smart practices, 2) climate information services and safety nets, 3) low emissions agriculture, and 4) policies for climate-resilient food systems. The program aims to enhance food security, benefits to women and marginalized groups, adaptive capacity, climate-resilient policies and climate change mitigation through science-informed policies, climate-smart practices reaching 20 million farmers by 2018, and climate information advisories reaching 10 million farmers. Implementation will focus on regions but include 20-30% global work to achieve development outcomes.

CCAFS Intermediate
Development Outcomes
1. Increased and stable access to food commodities by rural and urban poor
(“Food security”).
2. Increased control by women and other marginalized groups of assets, inputs,
decision-making and benefits (“Gender and social differentiation”).
3. Increased capacity in low income communities to adapt to climate variability,
shocks and longer term changes (“Adaptive capacity”).
4. Additional policies and institutions supporting sustainable, resilient and
equitable agricultural and natural resources management developed and
adopted by agricultural, conservation and development organizations, national
governments and international bodies (“Policies and institutions”).
5. Increased carbon sequestration and reduction of greenhouse gases through
improved agriculture and natural resources management (“Mitigation”)

CCAFS is focusing on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and its role in food security – and especially the synergies and trade-offs amongst these.Not just agricultural practices, but interested in the whole food system – from production to consumptionIn terms of adaptation, interested in the challenges poses by variability/extremes and longer term progressive changes.Interested in not only incremental changes (e.g. changing practices) but also transformational options (e.g. switching farming systems)
Talking Points (animated)These are the IDOs CCAFS are afterCrucial to the ToC is Partnerships, from research design to helping achieving outcomesThe research agenda Centres around four Flagships Leading to many proposed activities (often with partners)Social learning is a key approach in CCAFS
These are the 4 Flagships, each with specific targets, leading into the IDOs. Products from Flagships feed into getting outcomes in other Flagships
These are all the regions of the world where we work. And in each region we have sites where we do the detailed work – shown by the green dots (we still have to select sites in LAM and SEA)Although all the regional program leaders work for different centres, we do not have to follow the mandate of our centres – we must support work for crops, livestock, fish, policies, water, forests – whichever makes sense for climate change adaptation and mitigation.This shows the new way of working in the CGIAR – as you probably know the CGIAR has undergone a radical reform in the past few years.(At least for some elements of the CGIAR the reform is radical)
