No results found.This report summarizes the proceedings of a regional workshop on “Rice Landscapes and Climate Change: mitigation in rice-based agroecosystems and the scaling-up of climate-smart rice cultivation technologies in Asia.” Participants left the workshop with an enhanced understanding of the implications of the Paris Agreement and the importance and relevance of climate-smart rice cultivation practices for increasing resilience, reducing GHG emissions and storing carbon in rice ecosystems. Knowledge sessions on the global policy context for climate action were followed with technical sessions on a range of ongoing research and technical advisory initiatives related to rice production systems and climate change. A special session on capacity building provided practically oriented examples and information to apply and scale-up measures related to climate-smart rice production practices. -
Book (stand-alone)Scoping review on the role of social protection in facilitating climate change adaptation and mitigation for economic inclusion among rural populations 2024

No results found.Rural populations, especially small-scale producers and women, are disproportionately impacted by climate change since their livelihoods depend largely on natural resources and weather patterns. This paper reviews the available evidence on the role of social protection programmes in facilitating climate change adaptation and mitigation, with a specific emphasis on economic inclusion for agriculture-dependent households. The review also presents available evidence on the ability of social protection programmes to contribute to mitigation targets through reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and in easing the impact of climate mitigation policies on price inflation, job losses and income insecurity.The review underscores the importance of a systems approach. Both climate policies and social protection policies should incorporate specific elements to effectively complement each other. -

THE INDO-GANGETIC PLAINS OF INDIA are expected to be severely affected by drastic weather conditions, such as drought and heat as confirmed by the study that Gene Campaign has conducted in the frame of this project. In order to successfully meet food requirements in an era of climate change, conservation and sustainable utilization of genetic diversity of crop plants have become crucial. This BSF project focuses on addressing these needs within the Indo-Gangetic plains of India
