It is exciting to have #PopeLeoXIV as the first U.S. born #Pope but he is also a citizen of #Peru and was a Bishop from Chilcayo. So both Peruvians and Americans can be proud today. But only Peruvians can share Papas del Peru.

CGIAR Science Week 2025
When humanity faced its greatest challenges, science and innovation provided solutions. Today, major global challenges such as climate change, land and ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, food insecurity and malnutrition, rural poverty, and gender and social inequality in agrifood systemsΒ threaten the sustainability of food, land, and water systems, leaving the most vulnerable people and communities at greatest risk. Β β―Β Recognizing the urgency of these challenges, CGIAR and the Kenyan Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) areΒ bringing together the worldβs leading scientists and decision-makers in agriculture, climate, and health for the very first CGIAR Science Week. This gathering will be a key moment to advance research and innovation, inspire action, and establish critical partnerships that can secure investment in sustainable food systems to nourish both people and the planet. Β β―Drawing on CGIAR science and partnerships from around the world, the inaugural CGIAR Science Week will engage the community of global leaders in research, policy, and development working for a food, nutrition, and climate secure future in active dialogue during plenary sessions focused on harnessing and scaling science and innovation. Participants will learn about CGIAR Research Portfolio 2025-2030 through dedicated Strategy Dialogues on Science Programs & Accelerators, and discover cutting-edge science from CGIAR centers worldwide through science talks,Β innovation showcases, and research workshops. The event also offers the chance to see, first-hand, transformative innovations improving the lives of vulnerable communities in ourΒ exhibition area and to explore CGIAR and partner labs and research stations toΒ see science in action during field visits.
Day 2 of #CGIARScienceWeek is in full swing in Nairobi!
Canβt be with us in person? You can still catch all the action online. Each session has a livestream! events.cgiar.org/scienceweek
