dcterms.abstractAs climate change intensifies across Africa, smallholder farmers are on the frontlines, facing increasingly extreme weather conditions. While climate mitigation has clear benchmarks, adaptation remains complex, often lacking reliable metrics to track progress. This gap has led to fragmented efforts and, in some cases, maladaptation, where interventions unintentionally heighten vulnerability. The Adaptation Insights project seeks to change this by revolutionizing how climate adaptation is measured and implemented. By generating high-quality, actionable data, the project equips governments, development partners, and investors with tools to prioritize and scale effective adaptation strategies. Rooted in inclusivity, it integrates local knowledge to ensure that solutions are practical and impactful. Launched in Nairobi with key stakeholders from research, policy, and development, Adaptation Insights is setting a gold standard for adaptation measurement that could shape global discussions ahead of COP30. Backed by the Gates Foundation and led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, this initiative has the potential to transform resilience-building efforts across Africa and beyond.en_US
