The Challenge
3 • 3/21/11
Message 1:In the coming decades, climate
change and other global trends will endanger agriculture, food security,
and rural livelihoods.
4 • 3/21/11
In order to meet global demands,
we will need
60-70% more food
by 2050.
5 • 3/21/11

“Unchecked climate change will result in a
20% increase in malnourished children by 2050,” relative to the full
mitigation scenario.
-Gerald Nelson, IFPRI/CCAFS

1. Identify and develop pro-poor
adaptation and mitigation
practices, technologies and
policies for agriculture and
food systems.
2.Support the inclusion of
agricultural issues in climate
change policies, and of
climate issues in agricultural
policies, at all levels.
CCAFS objectives
15 • 3/21/11
The CCAFS FrameworkAdapting Agriculture to
Climate Variability and Change
Technologies, practices, partnerships and policies for:
1. Adaptation to Progressive Climate Change
2. Adaptation through Managing Climate Risk
3. Pro-poor Climate Change Mitigation
Improved Environmental
HealthImproved
Rural Livelihoods
Improved Food
Security
Enhanced adaptive capacity in agricultural, natural
resource management, and food systems
Trade-offs and Synergies
