Lessons from scaling up adaptation in food security and agriculture
LEARNING IN PROGRESS:
R4 Rural Resilience Initiative
Climate risk is a significant challenge for food security – it is projected that by 2050,
10-20% more people could be at risk of hunger due to climate risks

Reduce risks
Help households build sustainable and resilient livelihoods
Protect the gains households make with insurance
The Four Rs
LEARNING IN PROGRESS:
R4 Rural Resilience Initiative Lessons Learned from practice
The most food insecure people do not have the capacity to manage climate risk today.
Social protection systems and safety nets are effective mechanisms to reach the most vulnerable.
Improved emergency preparedness and response, including early warning systems, must be linked to effective early response mechanism
Integrated climate risk management systems are more complex to develop and need sustained support.
Climate risk assessments must link to livelihoods and participatory planning.

R4 Rural Resilience Initiative Challenges in safety nets and CSA
towards integrated approaches focused prevention and resilience
Matching predictability with flexibility
targeting: reaching the “most vulnerable” versus community-wide action
Community ownership and sustainability
the need for context-specific approaches
Scale, timeframes, continuity and impact
transfer selection, timing, incentives and disincentives
