DESCRIPTION
CCAFS Overview presented by Lini Wollenberg at National Policy Workshop in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 4 July 2011.TRANSCRIPT
CCAFS: An OverviewNational Policy Workshop,
Addis Ababa4 July 2011
The challenge
Crop suitability is changing
Average projected change in suitability for 50 crops, to 2050
Program design
CGIAR + Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP).
the partnership
1. Identify and develop pro-poor adaptation, risk management and mitigation practices, technologies and policies for agriculture and food systems.
2. Support agricultural issues in climate change policies, and of climate issues in agricultural policies, at all levels.
CCAFS objectives
Theme 1. Adaptation to Progressive Climate Change
Theme 2. Managing
Climate Risk
Theme 3. Pro-poor mitigation
Theme 4. Integration for decision making
Climate variability and changeImproved
environmentalbenefits
Improvedlivelihoods
Improvedfood security
Trade-offs and synergies
1. Adaptation to progressive climate change2. Adaptation through managing climate risk
3. Pro-poor climate change mitigation
Technologies, practices, policies and capacity enhancement:
4. Integration for decision making
Enhanced adaptive capacity in agricultural,
NRM & food systems

Opportunities to reduce emissions or increase sequestration in Ethiopia
Management option Mitigation Potential Actions required
Livestock High Technical options?
Soil C sequestration Moderate Incentives? Monitoring?
Reduced burning Moderate Technical options?
Fertilizer Low to date Future efficiencies, sustainable intensification?
GHG quantification
- Livestock system inventory methods (ILRI)
- Simple and cost effective MRV
- Regional capacity building
Other research in East Africa
Improving benefits from carbon market projects involving farmers
7 projects In collaboration with Ecoagriculture, ICRAF:• Humbo Reforestation Project, World Vision, Ethiopia• Vi Agroforestry, CARE, TIST, Kenya • Ecotrust, NFA, Uganda• Cocoa Carbon Initiative, Ghana
Lessons- Real benefits from yields, not payments ($2/yr) - Need to decrease costs and risks- Pre-existing institutions, upfront finance critical- Monitoring livelihoods not a priority
