Closing the plenary session will articulate the vision of collaboration and continue to build, consolidate and nurture partnerships based on shared priorities to deliver for food security, economic stability, gender equality and climate resilience. The world's most vulnerable populations are increasingly burdened by heightened food insecurity, poverty, and social inequality, as a result of the water scarcity, malnutrition, biodiversity loss, and extreme weather events that are more prevalent in these regions. At this critical juncture, CGIAR Science Week's plenary program brings together global and regional leaders in research, policy, and development to discuss how we can harness and scale science and innovation and partner in more effective ways to provide food, nutrition and climate security for all.  Related Sites and Documents:  Website  and  Programme .
