CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) seeks to address the increasing challenge of global warming and declining food security on agricultural practices, policies and measures through strategic, broad-based global partnerships.

Led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), now part of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, CCAFS is a collaboration among all 15 CGIAR Research Centers and coordinates with the other CGIAR Research Programs and Platforms.

CCAFS brings together some of the world’s best researchers in agricultural science, climate science, environmental and social sciences to identify and address the most important interactions, synergies and trade-offs between climate change and agriculture. Learn more about our partners.

The program is carried out with funding support from governments and aid agencies, both through the CGIAR Trust Fund and bilaterally. Learn more about our donors.
