Sumario:Transforming Rural Livelihoods Through Effective Climate Services was a seminar held in New York in September 2019 to highlight the work that the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) at Columbia University have conducted together. Experts from both CCAFS and the IRI presented projects on increased resilience of smallholder farmers made successful through collaboration. Guest speakers from the World Bank Group, World Food Program, CSIRO, CIAT, and the United Nations shared their perspectives on emerging opportunities for climate services to transform rural livelihoods. The goal of the event was to share information about projects and spark useful discussion about the way forward for climate services in rural communities.
