Climate Smart Advisors

ClimateSmartAdvisors是一个覆盖27个国家的泛欧多行为体网络。其目的是促进欧盟农业咨询界的发展，从而加速欧盟AKIS内部和之间更广泛的农业社区采用气候智能型（CS）农业实践。为了实现这一目标，ClimateSmartAdvisors专注于顾问在开发和传播CS创新和实践方面的关键作用。该项目将组织活动，重点是加强顾问提供CS建议的能力，并通过参与创新项目、CS-AKIS和欧盟项目和倡议，提高顾问在向CS农业过渡中的作用。制定了一些补充活动，以加强欧盟咨询界的社会服务咨询能力：1）一个由260个咨询实践社区（CoP）组成的欧盟范围内的网络，以支持1500名顾问的发展，将构成社会服务知识交流的核心; 2）140名顾问将接受与其背景相关的选定主题的专家培训，并促进CoP; 3）缔约方会议将在12个专题领域进行国际知识交流; 4）知识库将为顾问提供在ClimateFarmDemo项目中开发并在ClimateSmartAdvisors中进一步扩展的CS工具、实践和方法; 5）监测、评估和学习活动将利用项目内外的经验教训。促进顾问在CS转型中发挥作用的活动包括：1）与当地和欧盟（多参与者创新）项目、倡议、AKIS参与者和政策制定者建立联系，以澄清和解决共同需求、挑战和经验教训，2）建立共同设计创新实验，以了解如何加强顾问在创新过程中的作用。最后，为了加速成果的广泛传播，将在欧盟和国家层面部署一项雄心勃勃的传播、利用和交流战略

ClimateSmartAdvisors is a pan-European multi-actor network covering 27 countries. Its aim is to boost the EU agricultural advisory community, leading to an acceleration of the adoption of climate smart (CS) farming practices by the wider farming community within and across EU AKISs. To reach this objective, ClimateSmartAdvisors focuses on the crucial role of advisors in the development and dissemination of CS innovations and practices. The project will organize activities focusing on strengthening the advisors’ capacity in providing CS advice and boosting the advisors’ role in the transition towards CS farming through their involvement in innovation projects, CS-AKIS, and EU projects and initiatives. A number of complementary activities are developed to strengthen the CS advisory capacity of the EU advisory community: 1) an EU-wide network of 260 advisory Communities of Practice (CoP) to support the development of 1500 advisors will form the core of CS knowledge exchange; 2) 140 advisors will receive expert training on selected topics, relevant for their context and for facilitating a CoP; 3) CoPs will internationally exchange knowledge on 12 thematic areas; 4) a knowledge repository will provide advisors with CS tools, practices and approaches developed in the ClimateFarmDemo project and further expanded in ClimateSmartAdvisors, 5) monitoring, evaluation and learning activities will capitalize lessons learned in and outside the project. Activities to boost the advisors role in the CS transition include: 1) connecting to local and EU (multi-actor innovation) projects, initiatives, AKIS actors, and policy makers to clarify and address joint needs, challenges and lessons learned, 2) the set-up of Co-Design Innovation Experiments to learn on how to strengthen the advisors’ role in innovation processes. Finally, to accelerate the wide spread of results, an ambitious dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy will be deployed at EU and national levels
