Jameel Observatory approach critiqued
As a first step towards forming a community of practice to take the Jameel Observatory’s goals forward, we convened an informal virtual meeting in September with actors, partners, collaborators and stakeholders working on food security early action and climate change. The meeting aimed to introduce the Observatory’s work and solicit ideas and guidance on priority actions to take forward.
Jameel Observatory launched
The Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action has been created to help tackle the growing threat to people in the world’s drylands posed by the increasing severity and frequency of climate-related disasters.
