CGIAR Climate Action

If we ignore Somalia’s diaspora, we miss a key resilience network. @CGIAR research reveals how diaspora support helps pastoralists in Mudug absorb drought shocks, improve camel-milk markets and mediate disputes. But risks remain. ⏩Read: cgiar.org/news-events/ne…

Can protecting biodiversity strengthen peace at the community level? In Honduras, the Pech community is proving it can. Read the full @CGIAR #ClimateSecurity study. ⏩ hdl.handle.net/10568/182764 #BiodiversityDay

Markets can predict food insecurity as reliably as rainfall. @CGIAR researchers used machine learning to analyze 1,414 @FEWSNET reports across 33 countries and found that food prices appeared in 95% of reports documenting food insecurity. ➡️ Learn more: on.cgiar.org/3Pn4FPb

What happens when disinformation shapes how people understand the Amazon? @CGIAR #ClimateSecurity researchers analyzed ~40,000 Telegram messages from Brazil and found false narratives spread faster than climate science during the 2019 fires. Learn more: hdl.handle.net/10568/177294

Climate risk is becoming compounding risk. Drought, flooding, heat, water scarcity & economic strain are converging across South African provinces, sometimes within the same season. @CGIAR research is investigating how institutions can coordinate quickly to match unfolding risk

Adaptive social protection works best when local realities shape national systems. In Honduras, @CGIAR supported SEDESOL with evidence from 15 municipalities to inform the country’s first policy for responding to compounding shocks. Read more: on.cgiar.org/4abEbrM

In As-Sweida, Syria, violence in mid-2025 more than doubled inadequate food consumption, from 28% to 60%. @CGIAR Climate Security’s latest brief shows why land, water, returnee reintegration, and climate stress must be addressed together. ⏩ Read: on.cgiar.org/4eDKkPQ

🌍 Today is Earth Day. At CGIAR we believe that caring for the Earth starts with how we produce our food. 🌱 What we grow and how we grow it shapes our planet, our health and our future.

In Cabo Delgado, livelihoods and conflict are tightly linked so recovery programs cannot be neutral. @CGIAR Climate Security and @wfp_mozambique mapped ecological services & social dynamics, designing solutions that don’t fuel conflict. Learn more: on.cgiar.org/4s5YcGi

Disinformation can stall climate action if it shapes public debate. In Brazil, @CGIAR mapped how Amazon disinformation spreads online and fed insights directly into government systems and national coordination efforts. ⏩ Discover more: on.cgiar.org/4qIq7uL

What if displacement data misses the climate story behind why people move? @CGIAR #ClimateSecurity researchers worked with @Refugees & the Honduras statistics office to redesign national surveys, to now identify climate drivers of mobility. ⏩Read more: on.cgiar.org/40aGiq1

Climate action can reduce risk, but only if it accounts for conflict dynamics. Across 30+ African countries, @CGIAR Climate Security trained 1,000+ decision-makers to connect climate governance with security planning. ⏩ Learn more: on.cgiar.org/3OcoW9n

Climate, peace & resilience work best when science meets policy. Following their 2025 MoU, this week, @BiovIntCIAT_eng & @AW_Council kicked off a new collaboration linking CGIAR research with regional expertise to support climate resilience & cooperation across the MENA region.

Can devolved climate finance avoid reinforcing inequality? In 2025, @CGIAR Climate Security partnered with @adaconsortium to assess how Kenya’s County Climate Change Fund can manage conflict risks as it scales nationwide. Learn more ⏩: on.cgiar.org/3OHYODG

Humanitarian protection can fail under climate pressure unless climate risk shapes how operations are planned and financed. @CGIAR Climate Security and @Refugees are embedding climate intelligence directly into decision-making. Discover more⏩: on.cgiar.org/4r2NVtm

Mangrove restoration in Palma could boost fisheries & protect coastlines. But who controls access & who benefits? @CGIAR Climate Security & @wfp_mozambique mapped ecological services & social dynamics, designing solutions that don’t fuel conflict. Read: on.cgiar.org/4s5YcGi

Until recently, national surveys in Honduras did not fully capture the climate dimension of displacement. Through a partnership with @CGIAR Climate Security and @Refugees, new data is helping policymakers anticipate climate risks & plan responses. Read⏩ on.cgiar.org/40aGiq1

When climate disinformation spreads, governments can’t afford to guess. In Brazil, @CGIAR Climate Security trained federal communications teams, analyzed Telegram conspiracist networks, and mapped the national climate debate. Read more: on.cgiar.org/4qIq7uL

Across Africa, pressure on land, water & livelihoods is reshaping stability. @CGIAR Climate Security with @AGNESAfrica1 has trained 1,000+ professionals in 30+ countries, embedding climate–peace–security into governance. ⏩ Learn more: on.cgiar.org/3OcoW9n

How do you design social protection for overlapping shocks? In Honduras, the @CGIAR Climate Security Team supported the design of the country's first Adaptive Social Protection framework, grounded in evidence from 15 municipalities. ⏩Read: on.cgiar.org/4abEbrM
