| Sumario: | Climate change and variability pose significant challenges to global agriculture, particularly in vulnerable regions. Farmers face increasingly erratic weather patterns, extreme weather and climate events, and resource limitations that jeopardize their livelihoods and food and nutrition security. Addressing these challenges requires innovative, inclusive, and scalable solutions that bridge the gap between climate science and practical applications. As such, this policy brief highlights four locally-led innovations in Climate Information Services (CIS) that have been transformative towards these ends: Climate+, Local Technical Agroclimatic Committees (LTACs), Multidisciplinary Working Groups (MWGs) and Participatory Scenario Planning (PSP). These solutions, implemented in the Philippines, Guatemala, Senegal, and Kenya respectively, demonstrate the potential of tailored climate advisories to empower farmers, enhance agricultural resilience, and drive sustainable development. These innovations share common successes, such as improved decision-making, enhanced collaboration, and increased inclusivity, while also grappling with similar challenges, including data gaps, funding constraints, and stakeholder engagement. This document is a legacy product of the CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience.
