Earlier this week, we convened a dynamic workshop in #Athens titled: 'Anticipating Agricultural #Climate Shocks: Leveraging Science to Increase Policy Ambition, Farmers' Resilience, and #FoodSecurity in Southeastern Europe and the EU.' 🌾 The event brought together a diverse community of practice to discuss the early results of our Augures! project and start a conversation on bridging the gaps between science, policy and the needs of farming stakeholders. Key takeaways from the workshop: 🌽 Climate impacts on #agriculture are heterogeneous and complex: context-specific assessments resulting from #IntegratedAssessment modelling can be powerful tools in the face of climate uncertainty. 📊 To support farm management decisions in the short and long term, access to open, transparent, and trusted climate data must be paired with systemic capacity building, improved education, and access to finance. 🔬 Scientific insights must be effectively communicated to become actionable: information-sharing systems can be improved through regular engagements with #rural communities and agricultural policy practitioners. 🤝 Multistakeholder dialogues are crucial for moving these efforts forward and helping the EU agricultural sector build a more resilient and sustainable future.

Creating a space for policymakers to engage in open, honest conversations—without scripts, political pressures, or pre-packaged solutions—was a central feature of our Policy Dialogue on Just Energy Transitions. In this video, Andrzej Błachowicz and Benjamin Glahn explain why this reflective atmosphere is essential for developing practical, long-term solutions for countries transitioning away from #FossilFuels. 🌱 🎥 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ednwjjrH 🗨 Find out more about the Policy Dialogue below: https://lnkd.in/e9iNZkgS This programme was created in partnership with: Salzburg Global Seminar, Stanley Center for Peace and Security, and WINDWARD FUND

Science-backed, accessible and comprehensive information about agricultural risks is crucial for combatting #FoodInsecurity. 🌾 📈 #ClimateChange is increasingly affecting crop yields worldwide, impacting farmers' livelihoods and threatening agricultural supply chains. Fluctuating weather patterns pose significant challenges to the agricultural sector, making it crucial to develop informed strategies for resilience. 👩🌾🌦️ Against this backdrop, Climate Strategies has been working with our partners (National Observatory of Athens, AgMIP – Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project at Columbia University, Meteome & FACETS) to develop the Augures! project. This strategic service seeks to equip decision-makers with the information needed to react to the consequences of climate change on the agricultural sector. By employing an innovative, multidisciplinary approach that integrates #climate, crop, and economic modelling, Augures! aims to provide actionable insights for policymakers and #farming communities. This year, the project is focusing on the consequences of weather variability in Southeastern Europe, exploring changes in crop yields, farm income and #FoodSecurity in #Greece, #Hungary, #Romania, #Serbia, North #Macedonia, #Bulgaria, #Kosovo, #Montenegro, #Albania and #Bosnia & Herzegovina. 🌍 As part of our efforts to make integrated modelling an effective tool for policymakers, we are hosting a workshop titled "Anticipating Agricultural Climate Shocks: Leveraging Science to Increase Policy Ambition, Farmers' Resilience, and Food Security in Southeastern Europe and the EU" on Wednesday, 16th October in Athens. This workshop will bring together researchers, policymakers, and industry representatives to shape the future direction of the project.

🌍 Building climate resilience in the Western Balkans 🌱 Last month, a series of workshops were held across Tirana, Pristina, Skopje, Belgrade, and Banjaluka, focusing on the urgent need for climate resilience and smart energy systems in the Western Balkans. As the region faces increasing vulnerability to extreme heatwaves, floods, and erratic rainfall, focusing on adaptive, cross-sector solutions has never been more critical. Key takeaways from the discussions: ✅ Vulnerability to climate extremes highlights the need for resilient energy systems throughout the region ✅ Renewable energy is gaining momentum, especially in Albania and North Macedonia ✅ Integrated approaches linking energy, infrastructure, public health, and mental well-being are crucial to addressing climate impacts ✅ Climate change is pushing young people to reconsider traditional livelihoods, driving the need for sustainable development and job creation A special thanks to Dr.hc.Violeta Bulc and the Ecocivilisation team for spearheading these essential conversations. Climate Strategies is thrilled to have supported this initiative. For more details, read the complete workshop summary on Ecovilisation’s website: https://lnkd.in/dBG4pSve Youth Ecological and Security Zone (EcoZ), the Center for Environmental Research and Information (Eko-svest), Recycling Albania, the Center for Environment (Centar za životnu sredinu/Center for Environment), and the Environment Improvement Center (Centar za unapređenje životne sredine / Environment Improvement Centre).

How can fossil fuel-dependent countries transition to cleaner, more equitable energy systems while ensuring prosperity? This is the urgent question we addressed at our Policy Dialogue on Just #EnergyTransitions held in #Salzburg in September. 🏞️ Climate Strategies and our partners convened global policymakers, researchers, and leaders from countries across Africa, Latin America, and beyond to share insights and co-design pathways for prosperity post-fossil fuels.⚡ Our discussions centred on the need for inclusive, evidence-based approaches that balance immediate socioeconomic needs—like health, jobs, and poverty reduction—with long-term climate goals. By creating a neutral space for open dialogues, we helped foster cooperation and develop context-specific solutions for nations facing complex challenges in the energy #transition. 🤝 Follow our page as we continue to refine these insights into actionable recommendations for policymakers over the coming weeks. 🌱 Visit our website for more details: https://lnkd.in/e9iNZkgS Salzburg Global Seminar Stanley Center for Peace and Security WINDWARD FUND
