Good day,
Livestock is a cornerstone of global food systems, supporting the livelihoods of over 1.3 billion people and contributing 30% of agricultural output in low- and middle-income countries. However, the sector also accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, intensifying pressure on ecosystems, land, and biodiversity. The World Bank, in collaboration with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), organized a groundbreaking training on designing and implementing climate-smart livestock operations, held in Nairobi from December 2–6, 2024.
The five-day training convened over 20 participants, including representatives from the World Bank, CGIAR, FAO, and project teams from Kenya, Ethiopia, and the Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa (CCARDESA). The event emphasized the urgent need to balance livestock's critical role in livelihoods with its environmental footprint.
