Stepping up to the Challenge

Advocacy

A joint CARE International and CCAFS publication (CGIAR research programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security) launched in December 2014, at COP 20 in Lima, Peru outlines six issues facing global climate change and food security:

1. Scale up proven action and practice
2. Ensure equitable outcomes for women
3. Give decision-making power to farmers
4. Enhance nutrition security, not just food security
5. Make mitigation an opportunity for, rather than a threat to food security
6. Support markets and value chains for low income producers and consumers
