Theme 4: Integration for Decision Making

The research undertaken in this Theme provides an analytical and diagnostic framework for the whole of CCAFS research program, that is grounded in the policy environment, incorporates biophysical effects, quantifies uncertainty where possible, and ensures effective engagement of rural communities and institutional and policy stakeholders.

It will address the need for methods, models, databases and system metrics aimed at two broad challenges:

1. enhanced assessment of the likely impacts of climate change on agricultural systems, particularly in the context of other social and economic changes;
2. improved methodologies to assess the likely impacts of different policy and program interventions to foster adaptation and mitigation in terms of poverty alleviation, food security and environmental health.

In order to meet these challenges, this theme will concentrate on three objectives

4.1. Linking Knowledge with Action

4.2. Assemble Data and Tools for Analysis and Planning

4.3. Refine Frameworks for Policy Analysis
