Measuring the Effectiveness of Adaptation Insights from IFAD and GEF Projects CGIAR Climate Impact Platform Webinar #5

As the world inches closer to breaching the 1.5°C pre-industrial warming threshold, the urgency of adapting to climate change and mitigating its effects becomes increasingly critical. The agricultural sector, which contributes approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is also one of the most vulnerable to climate impacts. The sector faces a dual challenge: reducing its own emissions while rapidly adapting to ensure food security. Adaptation involves adjusting to actual or expected climate change and its effects, aiming to reduce the vulnerability of communities, ecosystems, and economies. This includes measures to cope with extreme weather, rising sea levels, and shifting agricultural zones. Effective adaptation enhances resilience, enabling systems to withstand and recover from climate-related disruptions. The question remains, are current adaptation efforts effecti
