CGIAR Initiative: Climate Resilience (ClimBeR)
The CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience, also known as ClimBeR, aims to transform the climate adaptation capacity of food, land and water systems in low- and middle-income countries. Its goal is to tackle vulnerability to climate change at its roots and support countries as they adapt and build equitable and sustainable futures. It will increase the resilience of smallholder production systems to withstand severe climate change effects like drought, flooding and high temperatures.
Partners
Building on the legacy of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), partnerships are essential to the success of the CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience. The Initiative engages 130 partners across six focus countries and globally on demand for the Initiative’s outputs, innovation and scaling. Partners include ministries that coordinate climate action; ministries of agriculture; national agricultural research and extension systems; meteorological departments; disaster management units; local, national and international NGOs; farmers’ organizations; United Nations organizations; other regional organizations and networks; insurance providers; micro-finance institutions and cooperatives; academia, training and research partners; and public-private partnerships.
