This document discusses the CCAFS (CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security) program for 2011 and beyond. It outlines the program's goals of improving food security, livelihoods, and environmental health through research on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Key activities mentioned include selecting two new research regions, coordinating research across multiple centers, establishing an independent science panel, conducting communications, and focusing on quick wins to demonstrate collaboration. Major proposed global activities for 2011 include convening an international commission and hosting an agriculture and rural development day.

1. CCAFS: 2011 and beyond Bruce Campbell Program Director CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)

2. Improved Environmental Health Trade-offs and synergies Climate Variability and Change Technologies, practices, policies and capacity enhancement for: Improved Rural Livelihoods 1. Adaptation to Progressive Climate Change 2. Adaptation through Managing Climate Risk Improved Food Security 3. Pro-poor Climate Change Mitigation 4. Integration for Decision Making Enhanced adaptive capacity in agricultural, NRM & food systems

10. New regions 2011: Process to select 2 new regions – based on criteria identified in Nairobi 2012: 2 new regions start 2012: Further process of selection 2013: Probably 3 further regions

11. Coordination CIAT Lead Centre One dedicated manager (contracts, finances) Most of coordinating unit stays in Copenhagen Director (1) Research coordination (1) Communications and outreach (1 +2) Themes and Regions run through Centers/Partners

12. Independent Science Panel 9 members independent of CRP7 Selected by CGIAR & ESSP Responsible for programmatic choices and budget allocation 3 observers: CGIAR, ESSP, CIAT

15. Strategic directions Will have to streamline and get all pieces in alignment by Year 3 Please use CRP7 proposal, so that Centers get aligned on common direction Get “buy in” from Theme Leaders/Regional Facilitators to grant applications

16. Next steps Starts January 1st – e.g. CIAT already hiring CP structure remain for 6 months Strategy discussion with ISP – April ESSP-CGIAR Science and planning meetings – June Workplan 2012 discussed at Nov ISP meeting

17. Need quick wins to demonstrate working across centers “If inter-centre collaboration is not sorted out in three years we will remove our funding from the CGIAR” Some major products needed that show synergies of working across sectors

18. Main proposed global activities for 2011 International Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change (Chair: Sir John Beddington) High-level report on CC & Agriculture (with two sessions with negotiators) – process by Meridian Institute Agriculture and Rural Development Day 2011 (ARDD 2011), Durban, December Similar major activities in the regions……..
