Farmers who use weather forecasts take more protective measures but access to reliable information remains limited.
In India, we are working with WOTR to bridge this gap, integrating real-time climate monitoring with crop intelligence and market insights.

Our latest monitoring data from Central Asia show a further decline in the region's mountain snowpack.
Working with TIIAME in Uzbekistan, we've been actively monitoring the situation since 2008. Smaller tributaries have lost over 50% of their minimum snow cover compared to two decades ago.

Can sub-Saharan Africa feed its growing cities? Using a computer model we estimated Africa’s urban foodsheds and regional excess or shortage of food production. We show that improved water management can boost self-sufficiency, reducing the need to convert more land by ~25%.
