As water scarcity and arid conditions increasingly threaten agriculture, the ripple effects touch food security and health, and drive climate migration. This event will bring together diverse stakeholders to review the latest water scarcity and drought research and to discuss CGIAR and partners’ solutions for managing water scarcity in drylands. The session will conclude with a panel on investment entry points, as we work together to create actionable pathways for more resilient agri-food systems.
