Forest Tenure

This training guide provides users with principles, concepts and practices on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and community-based adaptation (CBA). It is composed of seven modules spread under a three-part document. This training guide was designed to enhance the capacity of users to facilitate processes leading to community-based adaptation to climate change, and to:

This report gives an overview of current use and conservation practices and related knowledge of neglected and under underutilized species in Ghana, a brief description of the roles of key stakeholders (government, knowledge institutes, private sector and civil society), identification of knowledge gaps, and a strategy for the promotion of NUS.

This working paper aims to provide recommendations and guidelines for climate services good practice. Building on CCAFS work and the broader academic literature, we distil knowledge and experience from interviews with project leaders and collaborators under Flagship 4, Climate Services and Safety Nets.

A majority of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries depend to a large extent on agriculture for food security and income. Efforts aimed at improving farm-related profitability are therefore important to improving livelihoods among smallholder farmers.

The evidence on conflicts around the world since the turn of the century points to a simple conclusion: conflicts, grievances and insecurities are increasingly being affected by changing climates, environmental degradation, food insecurity, and the struggle to control a finite pool of natural resources. This paper aims to understand the linkages between climate, conflict, agriculture, and

From COVID-19 to emerging crop diseases and exotic pests that threaten natural ecosystems, invasive species are a major problem globally. Invasive populations, such as antibiotic- or pesticide-resistant genotypes or new pathotypes, are also a serious challenge.

Cocoa and oil palm are the major commodity crops produced in Ghana and livelihood options for hundreds of thousands of rural households. However, their production has negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Certification standards have been promoted as a market-led mechanism to ensure their sustainable production.

In community engagement and participatory processes, facilitators must make intentional efforts and adopt inclusive strategies to include marginalized and frequently overlooked groups. Yet, there is a lack of guidance on how to inclusively facilitate participatory processes.

Wheat yields in Ethiopia need to increase considerably to reduce import dependency and keep up with the expected increase in population and dietary changes. Despite the yield progress observed in recent years, wheat yield gaps remain large.

Mangroves have among the highest carbon densities of any tropical forest. These ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon for long periods, and their protection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports climate change mitigation.
