CNCACSA, the National Competence Centre for Climate Change in the Agroforestry Sector, is a Portuguese organization focused on research, development and innovation. Its mission is to examine climate scenarios in Portugal, assess the vulnerability and response capacity of agriculture and forestry, and develop and evaluate measures for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The centre works to support the sustainability of Portuguese agriculture and forests across productive, environmental and social dimensions.

CNCACSA brings together member and managing entities and shares knowledge through research projects, scientific articles, technical reports, documents, manuals, brochures and leaflets. Its work spans horticulture, fruit growing, cereals, legumes, viticulture and winemaking, olive growing, animal production, pastures and forage, water resources and forestry, as well as other topics. The centre also communicates developments through news, events, photographs and videos, helping connect research with relevant audiences. Its website features information on current initiatives and sector topics, including projects addressing greenhouse gas emissions in cattle production and energy in agriculture. CNCACSA is based at INIAV in Elvas, Portugal.
