SUMMARY:Global Science Conference on Climate Smart Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Global Science Conference on Climate Smart Agriculture will be held in Johannesburg on November 28-30 and focuses on “Catalysing local innovations and action to accelerate scaling up of CSA”.  \nBackground information\nEvery day that passes\, we are learning and getting more convinced on the inevitability of ensuring our agricultural systems are climate smart. Climate-smart agriculture is the reform to ensure the way agriculture is practiced remains compatible with man-made climate changes\, securing short-and-long-term resilience in productive capacity of the agricultural systems. We need growing scientifically supported field evidence that embracing and practicing locally adapted climate smart agriculture is cardinal in meeting the minimum requirements for productive and environmentally stable agricultural systems.  Such science is essential in sustaining capacity to provide for food and industrial needs as well as incomes for the local populations. Practicing CSA will directly impact on three interrelated aspects\, namely: \n\nSustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes in order to meet national food security and development goals\nBuild resilience and the capacity of agricultural and food systems to adapt to climate change;\nEnsure that agriculture contributes to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases or increase carbon sequestration.\n\nThese three conditions (food security\, adaptation and mitigation) are referred to as the “triple win” of climate-smart agriculture. \nYou can find more information on the Conference at the website. \n\n

SUMMARY:PPPLab Day: Achieving the Catalytic Potential of PPPs for Transformational Change
DESCRIPTION:Public-private partnerships can\, and do\, lead to transformational change. But usually they do not. PPPLab will explore what it really takes to use PPPs for transformational change during the PPPLab Day on November 30\, 2017 in the New World Campus in The Hague. \nHow to stimulate change in the institutions and regulations that shape food and water systems\, as well as transform how these institutions and the individuals in them work together? And what changes are needed to create deep\, widespread public goods which harness sensible business approaches? These key questions form the basis for the day’s exploration. \nWho is this for?\nAnybody working in or with a PPP that wants to bring about deep systemic or behavioural change in food or water systems: PPP practitioners\, investors and donors\, companies\, advisors. \nWhat to expect\nA day designed to make new ideas actionable\, and help you up your game in your PPP. \nFrank plenary sharing of efforts at transformational change: real pitfalls and what’s possible. \nExtensive\, interactive workshops with diverse international speakers and cases\, allowing for deep exploration of topics and taking joint understanding a step further\, including: \n\nTargeting sector change through PPPs\nRe-thinking risk: can the finance sector catalyse system change?\nLocal government and partnerships for transformational change\, with Charles Abugre of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) of the Government of Ghana\nScaling: from isolated success to system shift\nTransformation in the WASH sector\n\nPlease visit the PPPLab website for updates on the programme and to register online. \n
