How to avoid a climate disaster: The solutions we have and the breakthroughs we need – Bill Gates (Blogernator)

February 21, 2021


Blogernator published a review of Bill Gates’s new book on climate change, proposals to deal with it, and where there is light. In the book, Gates wrote about the CGIAR (or 1CGIAR) in the realms of climate change. CGIAR research aims to reduce rural poverty, increase food security, improve human health and nutrition, and sustainable management of natural resources. It is carried out at 15 centers. A dizzying alphabet soup of CGIAR collaboration partners include Africa Rice Centre, CIFOR, ICARDA, ICRISAT, IFPRI, IITA, ILRI, ICIMMYT, CIP, IRRI, IWMI, CIAT, ICRAF and World Fish.
