About the Speech:

In this keynote address to the IIEA-RDS Leadership Forum on Climate-Smart Agriculture, Dr. Bruce Campbell, Director of the CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security, will consider the challenge posed by climate change and food security from both a developed and developing country perspective. Within this context he will make a case for the urgent implementation of climate-smart agriculture globally, with a view to reaping its “triple win” of boosting farm productivity and incomes, building resilience to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Drawing from examples of international best practice, he will outline the benefits of climate-smart agriculture to farmers in all parts of the world. He will identify future climate trends and their implications for the adaptation imperative globally, as well as considering the implications for agriculture of global emissions reduction targets. 

This is the fourth event in the IIEA and RDS event series on climate-smart agriculture.
