Item Annual report 2021: CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Annual Report, 2022-03-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems2021 was WLE’s final year – the culmination of a decade of science and impact. Throughout the year we saw the real-world difference made by our flagship projects and watched solutions unfold at landscape and basin scales. We also saw our research flow into larger processes in a year of international action that included the UN Food Systems Summit and high-stakes meetings of the UN Conventions on Climate Change and Biological Diversity. WLE participated in all of these, bringing proven solutions to the table. We also helped shape the CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Agenda: several new One CGIAR initiatives will build on – and advance – WLE research, including ‘NEXUS Gains: Realizing Benefits across Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystems’, ‘Agroecology’ and the ‘NATURE+’ initiative on nature-positive solutions. We also worked with other CRPs to propose a future model for assessing integrated systems research. In 2021, results spanned the five impact areas of the One CGIAR Research and Innovation Strategy.Item Annual report 2020: CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Annual Report, 2021-06) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsThis Annual Report documents a firm foundation for results in all five Strategy impact areas of the One CGIAR Research and Innovation Strategy, demonstrating the relevance of WLE within the “systems transformation approach for food, land and water systems” that it maps out.Item Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 14 April 2021(Meeting Report, 2021-04-14) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 15 January 2021(Other, 2021-01-15) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 5 October 2020.(Meeting Report, 2020-10-05) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 22 January 2020(Meeting Report, 2020-01-22) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 22 July 2020(Meeting Report, 2020-07-22) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 30 October 2019(Meeting Report, 2020-10-30) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Minutes of virtual meeting of the WLE Independent Steering Committee (ISC), 18 December 2019(Meeting Report, 2020-12-18) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem Annual report 2019: CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Annual Report, 2020-04) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsResults from the CGIAR Research Program on Water Land and Ecosystems (WLE) demonstrate how new evidence and innovations contribute to sustainable intensification of agriculture at landscape level. WLE’s solutions support producing more nutritious food while managing natural resources more productively and sustainably in the face of critical climate change, health, demographic, and economic challenges.Item CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems - Plan of Work and Budget 2020(Internal Document, 2020-02) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsOur program-level ToC is reassessed annually to accurately reflect new information (e.g. new bilateral projects) and new understanding (e.g. of how WLE delivers outcomes and impacts). 2020 adjustments applied across WLE’s flagships (FPs) include: ● A focus on three ‘foundational’ impact pathways: (1) transdisciplinary innovation; (2) policy influence; (3) brokering practices and technologies and enhancing implementation capacity. ● Encouraging WLE interventions to address both equity and sustainability. ● Recognizing WLE’s role as producer of knowledge and ‘innovation broker’. ● Recognizing WLE’s role must be to identify and harness positive feedback loops to amplify change within complex systems. ● Actions to harness synergies between researchers and policy and development actors to carry out collaborative work.Item CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems - Plan of Work and Budget 2019(Internal Document, 2019-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsWLE continued to improve Flagship milestones. The revisions ensure better alignment with the research portfolios, and better reflection of the annual steps towards outcomes. This remains work in progress as flagships move further towards an increasingly explicit outcome focus. Some changes through to 2021 targets are still required, and WLE will finalize this work in 2019.Item Meeting minutes: WLE Management Committee.

Moving to the sustainable intensification of agriculture while sustaining critical natural resources and ecosystem services is an essential prerequisite to building resilience and sustainable growth. WLE was established to address this challenge and contribute directly to meeting our global commitments on sustainable food production1. WLE’s successes have been based on its strong partnerships with many diverse institutions along its entire impact pathway; its alignment with global policy initiatives; its strong gender and poverty focus; and on its ability to facilitate collaboration among numerous scientific and practical disciplines. This report is the last of Phase 1, and work is reported for 2016 as required by the CGIAR guidelines, but it also presents results realized in 2016 from the investments over the course of Phase 1. WLE has produced significant outputs and important outcomes in 2016, despite the serious challenge of unpredictable funding. Overall, WLE achieved 85% of its 34 targets across 22 indicators. Considering the 55% cut compared to the original budget for the year, this is a noteworthy achievement. On gender, 70% of all technologies and 56% of tools developed address gender-differentiated impacts, and 44% of our new databases contain datasets differentiated by gender. WLE is is increasingly recognized for the quality and critical importance of its work, and there is growing demand for its products and services. The Program is poised to make even greater contributions to the overall goals of the CGIAR over the next five years.Item Annual report 2017: CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Annual Report, 2018-08-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsWLE responds to the growing challenge of natural resource scarcity and degradation of ecosystem services, and is linked to several SDG 2030 targets. In response to these ‘intractable challenges', WLE works to identify more sustainable and equitable agricultural and natural resource management solutions. This is an ambitious and wide-ranging agenda, but a vital one: scarcity and degradation undermine agricultural productivity as well as resilience, with the most negative impacts on the poorest and most vulnerable smallholder farmers, who are often women. This 2017 report demonstrates the multi-dimensional nature of WLE’s work, including WLE’s efforts to work on some of the more demanding, and more recently emergent areas, of cross-sectoral and cross-scale risk, such as how tackling water scarcity requires not only field level interventions, but also effective management of watersheds, how urbanization threatens food production in peri- urban areas, or how agricultural technology is not responding effectively to the feminization of agriculture. WLE has investigated (See: public Annual Report, 2017) how these risks can be turned around to find new and alternative ways of managing natural resources, whether this is through circular economy or nexus solutions or how effective solutions can be brought to scale through a more conducive and equitable enabling environment.Item CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems - Plan of Work and Budget 2017(Internal Document, 2017-04-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsItem CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems - Plan of Work and Budget 2018(Internal Document, 2018-05-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsCGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) - Plan of Work and Budget for 2018Item Annual report 2016: CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Annual Report, 2017-11-01) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsFor WLE, sustainable intensification means more than minimizing agriculture’s environmental footprint; it means making sure that agriculture bene ts both the planet and its people, providing global populations with food and nutritional security, resilience and livelihoods.
