📍 We're at #COP31 in Antalya!
From climate-resilient farming to water security and low-emission agriculture, CGIAR is bringing science and real-world solutions to the climate conversation.
🎥 Follow Vanessa and Ibukun for updates from the ground!

As #COP31 opens, a strengthening El Niño and fertilizer shocks threaten food security. The worst impacts are ahead but there’s time to act.

🆕 on our #blog: Connecting farmers, suppliers, and lenders to scale solar irrigation in northern Nigeria

🖋️ By Hyacinth Edeh, Bedru Balana, Maryam Abdullahi, and @oliverkirui.

☀️ 💧 Research in northern Nigeria identified weak market linkages as a major barrier to solar irrigation adoption. A demand-supply linkage event in Jigawa State brought key actors together to address this challenge: on.cgiar.org/4ehqVDB
