CGIAR Climate Action

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

Green growth without justice isn’t sustainable. From labor halls in the 1980s to today’s climate frameworks, Just Transition reminds us - climate action that ignores workers and farmers creates new risks. @CGIAR Climate Security explains why justice can’t be an afterthought.

When science shows up after disasters, response is reactive. When it’s embedded before, response becomes anticipatory. @CGIAR Climate Security provides scientific surge capacity, connecting emergency action with long-term resilience & climate adaptation.

For many early-career researchers, mentorship depends on the ability to travel. This excludes women, caregivers and scholars outside major hubs. The @CGIAR African Climate Mobility Academy shows lowers this barrier without sacrificing rigor. ⏩ Read: on.cgiar.org/4pSgWII

When climate risks, food insecurity and conflict collide, correlation can mislead. This episode of the @CGIAR Climate Security podcast dives into endogeneity, causal inference, and when “good enough” correlation works for early warning. 🎧 on.cgiar.org/4pyooI4

Are our models missing the dynamics that drive climate–conflict risk? Our guests on the @CGIAR Climate Security podcast explain why feedback loops, tipping points, and real community responses require better data + better models. ⏩ Listen: on.cgiar.org/4ajTMpp

Ethiopia faces repeated climate shocks and shrinking humanitarian budgets. Staying crisis-driven is no longer viable. Investing in food, water, and livelihood resilience is the only sustainable path forward. ⏩Read full report by @CGIAR Climate Security on.cgiar.org/3Y4VGTr
