The Livestock and Climate Solutions Hub is a collaborative platform led by ILRI and CGIAR to support low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in transitioning to sustainable, low-emission livestock systems. It integrates research, innovation, policy, and partnerships to scale climate-smart solutions—such as methane-reducing feeds, heat-tolerant breeds, and early warning systems—that reduce emissions, enhance resilience and productivity, and improve smallholder livelihoods while advancing national climate goals. The Hub provides a unified approach tailored to LMICs, combining cutting-edge innovations in animal nutrition, health, genetics, and environment with climate-smart technologies adapted to smallholder and pastoral systems. It strengthens multi-stakeholder collaboration, policy support for NDCs, and institutional capacity to deliver both adaptation and mitigation outcomes.
