    Reflections on SBSTTA-27 and the road ahead for COP17
    (News Item, 2025-11-05) Adelaida, Leon Murillo
    With less than five years to 2030, SBSTTA-27 advanced preparations for the first global review of progress, strengthened coordination across the Rio Conventions, and elevated biodiversity–climate coherence. Discussions on agriculture and soil biodiversity, and the establishment of the Subsidiary Body on Article 8(j), underscored the importance of evidence, inclusive governance, and landscape-based approaches on the road to COP17.

    UNEA7: Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet
    (Blog Post, 2025-12-11) Leon Murillo, Adelaida
    The seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7), convening in December 2025 under the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet,” marks a pivotal moment for global environmental governance. As CGIAR participates for the first time as an official observer, discussions address land restoration, soil and water health, antimicrobial resistance, land–sea interactions, fire management, coral reef resilience, and artificial intelligence in environmental governance. Through negotiations, science–policy engagement, and an MFL-led side event, UNEA-7 underscores the need to translate integrated, science-based solutions into tangible outcomes for resilient landscapes and livelihoods.

    Association between climate resilience capacities and pro-WEAI indicators: Evidence from small livestock farmers in West Bengal, India
    (Report, 2025) Gartaula, Hom Nath; Atreya, Kishor; Sapkota, Anisha; Puskur, Ranjitha
    This study examines the relationship between women’s empowerment indicators and climate resilience capacities in rural India, emphasizing the unequal burden of climate change on women’s livelihoods and adaptive options. Using baseline data of CGIAR Gender Equality and Inclusion Accelerator project, the analysis focuses on 277 women engaged in goat and poultry rearing in West Bengal. Women’s empowerment was measured using the project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI), while resilience capacity assessment included four dimensions: preventive, anticipative, absorptive and adaptive capacities. Descriptive statistics reveal low levels of both empowerment and resilience among women respondents. Correlation analysis indicates a significant positive association between overall empowerment and overall resilience capacity (r = 0.373, p < 0.01), with most pro-WEAI indicators strongly linked to absorptive and adaptive capacities. The analysis further shows a nonlinear pattern: resilience capacity rises sharply up to a threshold level of empowerment adequacy, beyond which gains taper off. Independent-sample t-test indicates that adequacy in ownership of land and other assets significantly enhances resilience capacity, followed by adequacy in self-efficacy and group membership. Conversely, adequacy in autonomy in income shows no significant association with any resilience capacity. The findings suggest that empowerment and resilience reinforce each other in bidirectional but context-specific ways, underscoring the need for integrated approaches that simultaneously strengthen women’s agency and their capacity to manage climatic risks.
