The global food system is responsible for 23 – 42% of total net anthropogenic emissions. This share is expected to increase in the future, driven by population and economic growth and changes in lifestyle, as other economic sectors are progressively decarbonized. Without rapid and radical transformations in food systems, the Paris Agreement targets will remain out of reach.

Climate change presents significant challenges to countries worldwide, and Ethiopia is not exceptional (Simane et al., 2016). The nation confronts a wide array of climate risks that pose substantial obstacles to its sustainable development and the well-being of its people. Ethiopia is particularly vulnerable to climaterelated hazards due to its predominantly agricultural economy and large population reliant on rain-fed farming.

To contribute to building sustainable and effective climate change adaptation solutions avoiding usability gap, it is largely recommended to engage in the process of co-production, integrating expertise and knowledge from various academic and non-academic actors. We want to learn if and how co-production, believed to effectively link knowledge and decision-making, and thus suggested as the best practice in building decision-support frameworks, is really applied in the frameworks that are being implemented on the ground.

The technical guideline of mechanized wet direct-seeding provides information on mechanized wet direct-seeding-related techniques from seed preparation to crop establishment, including (1) Land preparation, (2) Seed preparation, (3) Techniques for operating the seeder (4) Machinery safety, (5) Machine maintenance, (6) Machine troubleshooting in the field and (7) Seeder path planning.

This conceptual and methodological note introduces a conceptual framework designed to assess multi-scalar climate adaptation policy instruments by gauging the extent to which they consider linkages between climate, peace and security. The purpose of this methodology is to assess whether policy instruments – and the activities and operations enacted within them - are intentionally formulated, implemented, and evaluated with regard to their effectiveness in mitigating conflict and societal instability risks, and to contribute to sustainable peacebuilding efforts.

Within the global literature on ecological restoration, a subset of literature examines the relationship between smallholder
land restoration and rural outmigration. However, intrahousehold dynamics surrounding the outmigration of one or more
household members and the capacity of the household to undertake land restoration activities are often overlooked.
With analyses rooted in Burkina Faso and Kenya, we explore the relationships between restoration, household labor, and

The study focused on the extensive rangelands in Kuwait, covering more than 75% of the total land area. These rangelands face severe degradation due to factors such as overgrazing, anthropic misuse, and mismanagement. The research aimed to assess the impact of natural restoration, specifically through resting, on vegetation cover and species richness in a fenced 1 km² area. The findings indicated that while perennial species cover remained consistent between fenced and unfenced areas, there was a notable increase in annual species cover within the fenced sections.

Sustainable agricultural intensification (SI) seeks to address multiple development objectives at the same time, among them

This study conducted a participatory appraisal of climate vulnerabilities and conflict risks three communities across Guatemala: 1) Maya Chʼortiʼ Indigenous Peoples farmers in La Lima village, Camotán, Chiquimula department; 2) Farmers, ranchers and sand harvesters in Tenedores village, Morales, Izabal department; and 3) Farmers in El Carpintero village, Chiantla, Huehuetenango department. The impacts of climate variability in Guatemala are leading to the depletion of natural resources and the destabilization of established weather patterns, which are critical for many livelihoods.

The report details the establishment of a Living Lab for People (LL4P) in La Montañita, Colombia, as part of the Low-Emission Food Systems (Mitigate +) initiative, which seeks to transform food systems and address climate change impacts. The LL4P focuses on empowering key stakeholders, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups, to enhance their capacity to implement low-emission sociotechnical innovations in the food system, emphasizing cattle/dairy and cacao value chains.
