Food systems contribute 19%–29% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, releasing 9,800–16,900 megatonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO 2 e) in 2008. Agricultural production, including indirect emissions associated with land-cover change, contributes 80%–86% total food system significant regional variation. The impacts climate change on are expected to be widespread, complex, geographically and temporally variable, profoundly influenced by socioeconomic conditions....

The need to adapt climate change is now widely recognised as evidence of its impacts on social and natural systems grows greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. Yet efforts change, reported in the literature over last decade selected case studies, have not led substantial rates implementation adaptation actions despite investments science. Moreover, implemented been mostly incremental focused proximate causes; there are far fewer reports more systemic or transformative actions. We found...

Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on crop, livestock and fisheries production, the prevalence of crop pests. Many these are already measurable. impact studies dominated by those yields despite limitations climate-crop modelling, with very little attention paid to more systems components cropping, let alone other dimensions food security. Given serious threats security, should shift an action-oriented research agenda, where we see four key challenges: (a) changing culture...
The ‘sustainable intensification’ (SI) approach and ‘climate-smart agriculture’ (CSA) are highly complementary. SI is an essential means of adapting to climate change, also resulting in lower emissions per unit output. With its emphasis on improving risk management, information flows local institutions support adaptive capacity, CSA provides the foundations for incentivizing enabling intensification. But adaptation requires going beyond a narrow intensification lens include diversified...
The preoccupation of many conservation planners with the refinement systematic assessment techniques has manifested an "implementation crisis" in planning. This provided assessments well-tested tools (e.g., area selection algorithms) and principles representation, complementarity), but our understanding these currently far exceeds ability to apply them effectively pragmatic problems. science is informative about where one needs do conservation, silent on how achieve it. Operational models,...
More than 100 countries pledged to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the 2015 Paris Agreement of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Yet technical information about how much mitigation is needed sector vs. feasible remains poor. We identify a preliminary global target for reducing from agriculture ~1 GtCO2 e yr-1 by 2030 limit warming 2100 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. plausible development pathways with cobenefits deliver only 21-40% mitigation....
Evidence shows the importance of food systems for sustainable development: they are at nexus that links security, nutrition, and human health, viability ecosystems, climate change, social justice. However, agricultural policies tend to focus on supply, sometimes, mechanisms address negative externalities. We propose an alternative. Our starting point is agriculture systems’ should be aligned 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development. This calls deep changes in comparison with paradigms prevailed...
Actions on climate change (SDG 13), including in the food system, are crucial. SDG 13 needs to align with Paris Agreement, given that UNFCCC negotiations set framework for actions. Food system actions can have synergies and trade-offs, as illustrated by case nitrogen fertiliser. reduce emissions positive impacts other SDGs (e.g. 3, 6, 12, 14, 15); but such should not undermine adaptation goals of 1, 2, 5 10. Balancing trade-offs is thus crucial, 12 central: responsible consumption...
We present a framework for prioritizing adaptation approaches at range of timeframes. The is illustrated by four case studies from developing countries, each with associated characterization uncertainty. Two cases on near-term planning in Sri Lanka and stakeholder scenario exercises East Africa show how the relative utility capacity vs. impact to differ level uncertainty lead time. An additional two demonstrate that it possible identify uncertainties are relevant decision making specific...
Climate variability is a major source of risk to smallholder farmers and pastoralists, particularly in dryland regions. A growing body evidence links climate-related the extent persistence rural poverty these environments. Stochastic shocks erode farmers' long-term livelihood potential through loss productive assets. The resulting uncertainty impedes progress out by acting as disincentive investment agriculture – farmers, financial services, value chain institutions governments. We assess...
This paper reviewed the prospects for climate-smart agriculture (CSA) development and promotion in West Africa as well lessons learnt challenges with a focus on climate change variability. It was evident from literature that is vulnerable to variability, account of its socio-economic physical characteristics. As variability persists, region's quest use mainstream opportunity deliver set targets sustainable goals will be strongly challenged without appropriate interventions. Adopting CSA...

Agriculture is considered to be "climate-smart" when it contributes increasing food security, adaptation and mitigation in a sustainable way. This new concept now dominates current discussions agricultural development because of its capacity unite the agendas agriculture, climate change communities under one brand. In this opinion piece authored by scientists from variety international research communities, we argue that needs evaluated critically relationship between three dimensions poorly...
