Agriculture Background Paper: Climate Bonds Standard & Certification Scheme by Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Stirling, Claire, Havlík, Petr, Vuuren, Detlef P. van, Stehfest, Elke, Dittmer, Kyle M.

“…The aim of the Paris Agreement is to limit warming to a global average of no more than 2°C higher than pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, and ideally no more than 1.5°C. The effects of climate change and the risks associated even with a 2ºC rise are significant: rising sea levels, increased frequency and severity of hurricanes, droughts, wildfires and typhoons, and changes in agricultural patterns and yields. …”

CGIAR Contributions and Climate Change Classification by Esponda Bernal, Maria Del Mar, Amahnui, George Amenchwi, Andrade López, Robert Santiago

“…In simple terms, when we talk about a direct relationship in a project, it means that the project has the ability to positively influence greenhouse gas emissions or the effects of climate change as it unfolds. On the other hand, when we talk about an indirect relationship, we mean that the project does not have an immediate impact but can be a tool used later to support the execution of a direct project that does have that direct impact on emissions or climate effects. (2024-01)…”

Economic impact of climate change and climate change adaptation strategies for fisheries sector in Fiji by Dey, Madan M., Gosh, Kamal, Valmonte-Santos, Rowena, Rosegrant, Mark W., Chen, Oai Li

“…While aquaculture development alone is unlikely to meet the growing excess demand for fish in Fiji, it will be an important component in adapting to the negative effects of climate change on capture fisheries. Various NRM strategies, such as marine protected areas (MPAs) and locally managed marine areas (LMMAs), are projected to have positive impacts in Fiji, expanding the stock and catch of fish. …”

Exploring the potential of decentralized extension models on the sustainability of livelihoods: a food security lens on aquaculture farmers in Bangladesh by Brako Dompreh, Eric, Manyise, Timothy, Lozano, Denise, Khondker, Murshed-E-Jahan, Dam Lam, Rodolfo, Rossignoli, Cristiano

“…Among these challenges are the inadequate supply of quality seed, limited credit access, poor availability of quality fish feed, land-use conflicts, the adverse effects of climate change, and the low adoption of best aquaculture management practices. …”

The Climate-Smart Villages – CSV of Santa Rita as a local innovation platform for scaling ecosystem- based adaptation in Honduras by Martinez Salgado, Jesus David, Borrayo, Andrea Surama, Cindy, Gómez, Castellanos, Andrea, Martinez Baron, Deissy

“…According to IPCC models (2013), this area is particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. The recurrence of phenomena such as droughts has led farmers to intensify the use of natural resources to sustain or increase their incomes and ensure their food security (Calvo-Solano et al., 2018). …”

Towards Inclusive Innovation: Gender and Youth in Sustainable Farming Systems by Mokhema, Seipati, Euler, Michael, Begum, Khadija, Cole, Steven, Huyer, Sophia, Mayanja, Sarah, Mwakanyamale, Devis, Paez-Valencia, Ana Maria, Puskur, Ranjitha

“…Women and resource-poor farmers suffer disproportionally from the effects of climate change (Hallegatte 2016). Climate-smart, gender- and socially inclusive approaches such as Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) can help to enhance the resilience of all the actors in farming systems (Deering and Wright 2023).…”

Structural approaches to modeling the impact of climate change and adaptation technologies on crop yields and food security by Islam, Shahnila, Cenacchi, Nicola, Sulser, Timothy B., Gbegbelegbe, Sika, Hareau, Guy, Kleinwechter, Ulrich, Mason-D'Croz, Daniel, Nedumaran, Swamikannu, Robertson, Richard D., Robinson, Sherman, Wiebe, Keith D.

“…We show that yield gains from adoption of these varieties differ by technology and region, but are generally comparable in scale to (and thus able to offset) adverse effects of climate change. However, yield increases over the projection period are dominated by the effects of growth in population, income, and general productivity, highlighting the importance of joint assessment of biophysical and socioeconomic drivers to better understand climate impacts and responses.…”

Social Seed Networks for Climate Change Adaptation in Uganda: Strategies to Improve Access to Genetic Diversity and Information. Results from a study to better understand farmers’... by Otieno, Gloria Atieno, Lacasse, Hannah, Adokorach, Joyce, Mulumba, John W., Recha, John W.M., Reynolds, Travis W., Fadda, Carlo

“…Accessing genetic resources and related information is therefore paramount to farmers’ ability to cope with the effects of climate change. Farmers’ seed networks are a crucial element of access to seed because they are resilient and help to maintain and conserve crop genetic diversity (Pautasso et al. 2013). …”

Rehabilitation and renovation of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) agroforestry systems. A review by Somarriba, Eduardo, Peguero, Felipe, Orozco-Aguilar, Luis, López-Sampson, Arlene, Leandro-Muñoz, Mariela E, Jagoret, Patrick, Sinclair, Fergus L.

“…In this review, we (1) explore the diversity of contexts, driving forces, stakeholders and recommended management practices involved in Rh/Re initiatives in key cocoa-producing countries; (2) summarise the often conflicting views of farmers and extension agents on Rh/Re programmes; (3) review the evidence of age-related changes in planting density and yield of cocoa, given the weight of these variables in Rh/Re decision processes; (4) describe the best known Rh/Re systems and their most common management practices; (5) propose an agroforestry Re approach that overcomes the limitation of current Rh/Re diagnosis protocols, which do not consider the regular flow of food crop and tree products, and the need to restore site soil quality to sustain another cycle of cultivation of cocoa at the same site; and (6) explore the effects of climate change considerations on Rh/Re decision-making and implementation processes. …”

Modelling the water balance of a grassland soil by Rufullayev, Elvin

“…If these models are able to capture the behaviour of the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum, in terms of soil water fluxes in the vadose zone and plant growth, they could help users to understand and predict the effects of climate change. In the scope of this study, a numerical soil water balance model was applied to three soil lysimeters located in Rollesbroich, Germany to analyse the accuracy of model predictions for temperate grassland. …”
