Description Most of the developing countries including India are primarily dependent on agriculture as it provides livelihood to almost two-third of its population. Hence, it is of utmost concern for developing countries to design and implement appropriate Climate Smart Agriculture practices, and then identify factors which have negative impact on agriculture productivity. The review of literature revealed that agriculture is the most vulnerable and sensitive sector affected by climate change because of its dependency on local climate parameters like rainfall, temperature, soil health and so on. The impacts of climate change on crop yields indicate that yield losses may be up to 60 per cent depending on crop, location, and future climate scenario. To alleviate the challenges posed by climate change, agriculture has to become “climate smart”. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is an approach to help agricultural systems worldwide, concurrently focusing on three major challenges: increased adaptation to climate change, mitigation of climate change, and ensuring global food security through innovative policies, practices, and financing. The paper discusses salient CSA innovations and key interventions which will address complex issues of climate change and guide the policy makers and decision makers to priorities investments and programme implementation for maximum impact
