This global webinar details the findings and recommendations of a new paper, “A Blueprint for Digital Climate-informed Advisory Services: Building the Resilience of 300 million Small-scale Producers by 2030,” by the Global Commission on Adaptation.



The paper’s authors will illustrate how Digital Climate-informed Advisory Services — tools and platforms that integrate climate information into agricultural decision-making — can help millions of small-scale farmers better adapt to a more variable and ever-changing climate. The team will outline core principles for good practice that maximize impact and provide recommendations on targeting investments in sustainable, equitable ways.



A diverse panel, representing farmers, policymakers, donors, and service providers, will reflect on the core principles while sharing real-world examples of how these tools and platforms build resilience to climate change.
