Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the role of international climate change adaptation law in promoting the use of genetically engineered crops as an adaptation strategy. The severity of climate change impacts and the realization that, by now, some adverse effects are inevitable, has intensified the urgency to devise effective adaptation strategies. Genetically engineered climate-resilient crops are presented as one possible means to adapt to the predicted adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture and crop yields. Despite increased attention on the research and development of climate-resilient crops, particularly by private sector seed corporations, there are many controversies surrounding this proposed adaptation strategy. The key contentions relate to apprehensions about genetically engineered crops more generally, the effectiveness of climate-resilient crops, and the involvement of the private sector in international climate change adaptation initiatives.The main argument in this article is that the emerging field of international climate change adaptation law contributes to promoting genetically engineered climate-resilient crops as a possible means of adaptation. Moreover, international adaptation law creates an enabling environment for the active engagement of private sector corporations in devising adaptation strategies. Notwithstanding controversies over genetically engineered crops and the role of the private sector, there has been little consideration so far of the influence of the growing international legal regime on climate change on the types of adaptation strategies that are devised and promoted.

Abstract:
Abstract Climate-resilient crops and crop varieties have been recommended as a way for farmers to cope with or adapt to climate change, but despite the apparent benefits, rates of adoption by smallholder farmers are highly variable. Here we present a scoping review, using PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols), examining the conditions that have led to the adoption of climate-resilient crops over the past 30 years in lower- and middle-income countries. The descriptive analysis performed on 202 papers shows that small-scale producers adopted climate-resilient crops and varieties to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, flooding and salinity. The most prevalent trait in our dataset was drought tolerance, followed by water-use efficiency. Our analysis found that the most important determinants of adoption of climate-resilient crops were the availability and effectiveness of extension services and outreach, followed by education levels of heads of households, farmers’ access to inputs—especially seeds and fertilizers—and socio-economic status of farming families. About 53% of studies reported that social differences such as sex, age, marital status and ethnicity affected the adoption of varieties or crops as climate change-adaptation strategies. On the basis of the collected evidence, this study presents a series of pathways and interventions that could contribute to higher adoption rates of climate-resilient crops and reduce dis-adoption.

Abstract:
Environmental adversities, particularly drought and nutrient limitation, are among the major causes of crop losses worldwide. Due to the rapid increase of the world’s population, there is an urgent need to combine knowledge of plant science with innovative applications in agriculture to protect plant growth and thus enhance crop yield. In recent decades, engineering strategies have been successfully developed with the aim to improve growth and stress tolerance in plants. Most strategies applied so far have relied on transgenic approaches and/or chemical treatments. However, to cope with rapid climate change and the need to secure sustainable agriculture and biomass production, innovative approaches need to be developed to effectively meet these challenges and demands. In this review, we summarize recent and advanced strategies that involve the use of plant-related cyanobacterial proteins, macro- and micronutrient management, nutrient-coated nanoparticles, and phytopathogenic organisms, all of which offer promise as protective resources to shield plants from climate challenges and to boost stress tolerance in crops.

Abstract:
Asia is the region most vulnerable to climate change and India is ranked as one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world, frequently affected by natural disasters. In this study, we investigated the impact of drought on crop productivity, farmer’s employment and income. The difference-in-difference model (DID) and stepwise multiple linear regression (MLR) were employed to quantify the impact of adopting climate resilient technologies (CRTs) on farm household income during a drought. The factors influencing farm incomes were analyzed using MLR. The study used survey data collected from the drought prone district of Telangana, India. Sixty farmers each from a village adopted under the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) program and a control village were interviewed. Primary data on the socio-economic characteristic of farmers, cropping pattern, income composition, productivity of major crops, employment and climate resilient interventions adopted by farmers were collected using a well-structured schedule. The results reveal that income crop cultivation was the major contributor to household income (60%) followed by livestock rearing. Farmers reported that droughts decreased the income from crops by 54 per cent and income from livestock rearing by 40 per cent. The farmers belonging to the climate resilient village had 35 per cent higher incomes compared to those in the control village and it was estimated to be Rs. 31,877/farm household/year during droughts using the DID estimate. Farm size, livestock possession, adoption of CRTs and investment in agriculture were the determining factors influencing farm income. Thus, farmers especially in drought prone regions need to be encouraged and supported to adopt cost effective, location specific climate resilient technologies.

Abstract:
Since the industrial revolution, there has been a continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations to the highest levels in the last 800,000 years, over 400 ppm. This underscores human-induced climate change, and CO2-projections are not promising (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5: 550 ppm of CO2; RCP 8.5: 1000 ppm of CO2 by 2100). Scientists foresee a point of no return in the climate system, where humankind and ecosystems are expected to face unprecedented changes in climate. Populations living in less developed countries are likely to suffer the most severe impacts of climate change (heatwaves, droughts, flooding…). With uncontrollable population growth, high-reliance on climate-sensitive sectors (agriculture), lack of governance, poor educational and health systems, and conflict, a sophisticated time-bomb is developing. The time-bomb will be in the form of populations facing starvation, causing conflict and displacing, even more, the population within and from the Sahel. The Sahel is often portrayed as one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change impacts, which are expected to severely affect Sub-Saharan agriculture and consequently human livelihoods. Many of the crops (maize, sorghum, millet, sugarcane, fonio and tef) grown at lower latitudes, have a C4 photosynthetic pathways which are more efficient in environments with higher solar radiation when compared to C3 crops. Nevertheless, C3 crops have a photosynthetic pathway that benefit more from increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. This is because the optimal CO2 atmospheric concentrations for enhancing the photosynthetic rate of C3 crops has not yet been reached. Modelling of C4 crops under changing climatic conditions has shown considerable yield losses of main crops (maize, millet and sorghum) within the region and for the coming decades. Trait improvement of C4 crops is time consuming with limited time for action, therefore alternative strategies to adapt to future climate are now imperative. Different agricultural adaptive strategies may be available for the Sahel to face the detrimental impacts of climate change. Hence this research proposes a novel approach: to introduce a resistant to abiotic-stresses-C3-crop in a country suffering from high undernourishment rates, Burkina Faso. Field experimentation with Chenopodium quinoa Willd. has shown that quinoa is a very resilient plant, that can cope with drought-stress conditions (200-400 mm) and withstand the effect of heat-stress (38 °C), besides having low nitrogen nutrient requirements (25 kg N ha-1). Multimodel simulations under different climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), predicting temperature increases of 2 °C to 5 °C, have shown that quinoa is capable of adjusting, with even yield enhancements, to the projected temperatures and CO2 concentrations. Although crop substitution may face social and research challenges, it is a more rapid solution for building climate-resilient communities than crop improvement.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the need to increase crop production and sustainability of farming systems is a main issue at global level, involving private and public sectors. Consequently, the future challenge of agriculture will be to improve food production while maintaining high nutritional quality and counteracting the effects of climate change already underway in the Mediterranean basin. The scientific community is pushing for the development and cultivation of climate resilient crops (CSC) that may be able to efficiently utilize the natural resources ensuring improved nutritional values and crop diversification for a sustainable rotational program. Among these crops, proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) might be a promising candidate thanks to its heat stress resistance, its limited water demand and its high-quality nutritional traits, although it is characterized by low yields. To date, the only way to increase the grain yield and improve other agronomic important traits is through an efficient breeding program based on a wide genetic variability of parental germplasm. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact and re-introduction of this minor cereal in the agricultural systems of the Mediterranean basin as renewal crop. For this purpose, agronomic and genetic traits of a germplasm collection of wild and domesticated proso millet accessions, obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) bank, was cultivated over 2 years’ field experiment under Mediterranean pedoclimatic conditions. The agronomic traits characterization of the germplasm collection resources is considered an important step to select genotypes adaptable to such environment and with desirable productive traits to be used in future breeding programs for the constitution of new improved varieties. The first study showed a morphological characterisation and a preliminary evaluation of the agronomical performances of a world collection of 80 proso millet (P. miliaceum) accessions. Overall, all the germplasm resources evaluated exhibited a wide range of variability for plant height, grain yield, total dry biomass, Harvest Index (HI), Growing Degree Days (GDD) to flowering and days to maturity, providing valuable information that could support future researchers. The second study was carried out to research the genomic base of the phenotypic seed traits diversity through a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Phenotypic diversity of seed size, shape, and colour has been evaluated in the fields, to characterise the diversity on germination physiology, nutrient quality, and yield of the different accessions studied. Then DNA of each accession was extracted from a pool of seed and analysed with a RAD sequencing approach to 8 screen and identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) markers. Association between phenotypic and molecular markers were than carried out using the model implemented in the R package qqman The high variation and strong association signals obtained for some of these traits, support the use of genomics and phenotypic screening to rapidly detect marker-trait associations (MTAs) to be employed in specific breeding program. Although the size of the population used in our study was small and this may shrink a bit our results. In the third study we evaluated the agronomic performances of proso millet varieties Sunrise in two consecutive cultivation years (2018 and 2019) under Mediterranean pedoclimatic conditions. Different Plants Densities (D) and Nitrogen Fertilisation (N) were tested, and plants performance were evaluated measuring several agronomic traits. The identification of the best combination of D and N represented an important information to set up an optimised protocol to improve proso millet yields.

Abstract:
Climate change is predicted to have a more profound impact on the Canadian Prairies compared to other regions in the world, with higher relative temperatures, longer periods of water stress and increased frequency of droughts. Camelina sativa (camelina) is a promising alternative, climate-resilient oilseed that could become part of a Canadian strategy to battle climate change and its detrimental effects on agriculture. Albeit currently a small crop, camelina has enormous potential for growth: favorable agronomics, like early maturity, frost and drought tolerance, pest and disease resistance, as well as exceptional winter hardiness in true winter types in combination with a unique oil profile render it an excellent feedstock crop not only for biofuel, but also high value feed and food uses. Uses for camelina oil and meal include industrial applications (e.g. biodiesel, lubricants, and polymers) and higher value areas such as cosmetics, Omega-3 supplements for human and companion animal nutrition, and applications in the livestock, poultry and aquaculture feed sectors. As a relatively undeveloped crop, there is significant potential for improvement of both agronomic and seed quality characteristics. This presentation will provide an overview of current camelina breeding and crop development efforts underway at the AAFC Research and Development Center in Saskatoon in collaboration with industry. This includes variety and germplasm development in spring- and winter-type camelina, insights into the genomics of camelina as well as recent developments in the Canadian camelina industry.

Abstract:
Informal settlements are quite complex because they consist of economically disadvantaged, often landless households located on steep hillsides, floodplains and swamps, which contribute to their exclusion from accessing infrastructure. These challenges need not be constraints; rather they offer opportunities for transformation. Such communities are generally characterised by inadequate access to safe water; inadequate access to sanitation and other infrastructure; poor structural quality of housing; overcrowding and insecure residential status. This paper uses primary and secondary data to determine the drivers which impact on the burgeoning of informal settlements in the Caribbean and analyses their implications for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 which focuses on achieving safer, sustainable and resilient human settlements. The main findings of the paper are that housing shortages, delays in obtaining planning approvals, inflated land values and poverty contribute to the growth of informal settlements. However, such settlements occupy vulnerable sites where infrastructure is sometimes lacking and they help trigger environmental hazards which may be further exacerbated by climate change. Based on the key findings of the empirical evidence, the paper raises what is the critical role of engineering and engineering education in improving access by informal settlements to basic services that are fundamental in achieving sustainable, resilient human settlements and human well-being? These questions are answered within the Caribbean Small Island Developing States context and draws from a cross-section of case studies within the region.

Abstract:
The semi-arid drylands of central Tanzania have been characterised by low and erratic rainfall coupled with high evapotranspiration. Up until now, farmers of these local dryland farming systems have been able to cope with these climate conditions. However, climate change has led to new weather patterns that overwhelm traditional dryland farming practices and re-shape farmers’ commercialisation pathways. This paper explored the pathways in which smallholder farmers in Singida region in Tanzania engage with markets and commercialise in the face of climate change. The paper also examined how farm-level decisions on commercial crops and the commercialisation pathways they are part of, affect current and future resilience to climate change. Climate resilient commercialisation of smallholder dryland agriculture remains the centrepiece of inclusive sustainable development.

Abstract:
The Climate Change Action Plan describes the IDB Groups progress since 2016 to support the regions need for low-carbon and climate-resilient development finance and its plan to raise climate ambition continuously in the region. The Second Update to the Institutional Strategy specifies that cross cutting issues, including climate change, continue to hamper development and that the IDB Group will renew its commitment to address them. The climate-finance goal set in the Bahamas Resolution has been extended through its inclusion in the IDB Group Corporate Results Framework 2020- 2023 (CRF 20202023).5 At the same time, all MDBs have committed to complement tracking of their financial contributions to climate action with a new approach focused on the consistency of their support with long-term decarbonization and climate resilience efforts. To this end, MDBs have outlined a common approach to support countries to deliver on their commitments under the PA. There has also been increasing recognition of the need to measure the results of the IDB Groups climate action and the complexity it entails.
