The Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)- Climate Resilience Initiative, known as ClimBeR, is taking proactive steps to bridge gaps in climate security and environmental peacebuilding in Mindanao.
In a significant move, its experts conducted a three-day workshop last October 24-26, 2023, at H.E.R.O. Learning Commons Auditorium, Caraga State University. The workshop focused on laying the groundwork for a robust Community of Practice (CoP) dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by the region. Caraga State University hosted the activity as one of its organizers.
The event brought together stakeholders with diverse expertise, fostering a collaborative environment to address Mindanao’s intertwined climate change and conflict challenges. The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from individuals representing government agencies, non-governmental organizations, local communities, and academia.
Together with CGIAR and CSU, the collaborative activity was also organized by Agusan del Sur State University College of Agriculture and Technology, Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, ECOWEB, and CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security. The initiative aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas, experiences, and innovative strategies to bolster resilience against the impacts of climate change and conflict in Mindanao.
