The Observatory’s first face to face meeting of partners co-identified a set of ‘challenge questions’ to help guide the Observatory’s choice of research and other actions.
The Observatory is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Guyo Malicha Roba as Head of the Jameel Observatory, based at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya.

On 2 November, the Jameel Observatory and CLIMAVORE hosted a launch event to explore how climate change impacts food security; and how food systems affect our climate
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.
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.
