Join our CTCN Consortium Partner, the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) for this webinar on agricultural technologies for adaptation to climate change.

The webinar explains ongoing and expected impacts of climate change on agriculture and the need to adapt for agriculture to adapt to weather extremes and slow-onset climatic changes. The presenter then outlines the concept of climate-smart agriculture and links between adaptation to food security and mitigation using case studies.

The webinar has a duration of one hour, and was followed by a 30 minutes of "questions and answers" between participants and the presenter.
