%X The    CGIAR    Research    Program    on    Climate    Change    Agriculture    and    Food    Security    (CCAFS)    is    a    strategic     10 -­‐ year    partnership    emerging    from    a    new    collaboration    between    the    Consult ative    Group    on     International    Agricultural    Research    (CGIAR)    and    the    Earth    System    Science    Partnership    (ESSP).         Through    this    collaboration    CCAFS    brings    together    strategic    research    in    agricultural    science     development    research    climate    science    and    earth    syst em    science    to    overcome    the    threats    that    a     changing    climate    poses    to    food    security    rural    li velihoods    and    the    environment.     This    entails     promoting    more    adaptable    and    resilient    agriculture    and    food    systems;    mainstreaming    climate     variability    and    climate    chan ge    issues    into    development    strategies    and    institutional    agendas;     enhancing    peoples’    understanding    of    climate    change    issues;    and    ensuring    that    decisions    on    policies     and    actions    are    based    on    the    best    information    and    data.    In    order    to    meet    the    overall    goal    C CAFS    has     established    four    research    themes:    Adaptation    to    Progressive    Climate    Change;    Adaptation    through     Managing    Climate    Risk;    Pro -­‐ poor    Climate    Change    Mitigation;    and    Integration    for    Decision    Making.     While    the    t hemes    are    global    in    character    there    is    a    co ncentrati on    of    effort i n     five focus    regions:    the     South    Asia    (with    an    initial    focus    on    the    Indo -­‐ Gangetic    Plains)      Southeast    Asia     West    Africa    East     Africa     and    Latin    America .        Led    by    the    International     Center for    Tropical    Agriculture    (CIAT)    CCAFS    taps     into     the    collective    expertise    of    all    15    CGIAR    research    centres    and    other    thematic    CGIAR    research     programs    from    around    the    world.    CCAFS    invol v es    farmers    policy    makers    donors    and    other     stakeholders    integrating    their    knowledge    and    needs    into    the    tools    and    appro aches    we    develop.
