The Centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and their partners generate a wealth of knowledge that can better enable rural people in developing countries to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts. The purpose of the Rural Climate Exchange Blog is to improve knowledge dissemination and collaboration so that the CG's research can serve global efforts to cope with climate change. To date, the blog has focused on critical issues such as putting rural people at the center of the international climate change negotiations (UNFCCC), the prospect of farmers transitioning from crop production to raising livestock, and the role of agriculture in the UNFCCC negotiations.
