  1. GECAFS interactions with Sponsoring Programmes GECAFS

  2. International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) A programme of the International Council for Science (ICSU) Goal To describe and understand the interactive physical, chemical and biological processes that regulate the total Earth system. 8 Core Projects, 3 directly related to IGP food systems: Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE) Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC; jointly with IHDP)

  3. International Human Dimensions Programme of Global Environmental Change (IHDP) A programme of the International Social Science Council (ISSC) • How do human actions contribute to GEC? • Why are these actions taken? • How does GEC feedback into peoples’ lives? • What actions can be taken by whom to respond to, reduce and mitigate GEC? • 4 International Science Projects, all directly related to food systems: • Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC, co-sponsored with IGBP) • Institutional Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (IDGEC) • Global Environmental Change and Human Security (GECHS) • Industrial Transformation (IT)

  4. World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) 5 International Science Projects, 1 directly related to food systems: CLIVAR (Climate Variability and Predictability) Goals To describe and understand climate variability and predictability on seasonal to centennial time-scales, Identify the physical processes responsible, including anthropogenic effects, and Develop modelling and predictive capabilities where practicable.

  5. How they work: • scientific research • research capacity-building • integration and synthesis • international scientific networks
