Faced with the triple challenges of achieving food security, adapting to the impacts of climate
change, and reducing emissions, agriculture has been prioritized by countries as a sector for
climate action. The national process of formulating and implementing National Adaptation
Plans, which gives effect to the ambitions set out in the Intended Nationally Determined
Contributions of countries, is a key instrument that will not only facilitate access to resources,
but also advance best practice and implementation of proven and effective adaptation actions.
In order to support countries in the elaboration of their National Adaptation Plans, this paper
aims to tap into agricultural research for development conducted by CGIAR Centers and
research programs, to identify best bet innovations for adaptation in agriculture, which can
help achieve food security under a changing climate, while also delivering co-benefits for
environmental sustainability, nutrition and livelihoods.
