ProjectSupport for the Implementation of the Pre-Cop, Cop25 and the Creation of a Regional Platform to Address Climate Action in Agricultural Production Sectors - TCP/RLA/3717 2023
Also available in:
Climate change has brought with it increased climatic variation, changes in rainfall patterns and an increase in the incidence and potency of natural disasters around the world This has had major impacts on productive activities worldwide, especially those directly related to climate, natural cycles and ecosystem functions This is expected to have major consequences for agricultural, forestry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture production systems, exacerbating the negative impacts of unsustainable practices and high carbon and water footprints It will also weaken the resilience of ecosystems and natural resources ( which are the basis for sustainable development and human survival The agrifood sector is also particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, while the agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors contribute significantly to greenhouse gas ( emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean ( For this reason, it is vital to optimize, coordinate and transfer knowledge in order to increase food production in a context of sustainability and resilience Given the current scenario, there is an urgent need to advocate for the fulfilment of commitments made in international agreements, to negotiate more ambitious emission reduction targets and to allocate technical and financial resources to agricultural production systems in order to implement actions that will help to fulfil the targets set. -
BookletThe Programme Clinic: Designing conflict-sensitive interventions - Approaches to working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
Participant’s workbook
2020In 2018 FAO approved its Corporate Framework to Support Sustainable Peace in the Context of Agenda 2030, committing FAO to a more deliberate and transformative impact on sustaining peace, within the scope of its mandate. The foundational element for FAO supported interventions to - at a minimum - do no harm, or to identify where they may contribute to sustaining peace, is to understand contextual dynamics and how they could interact with a proposed intervention. This is essentially what conflict-sensitive programming means. The Programme Clinic Facilitation Guide is a key step in operationalising this, being a structured participatory analysis designed to identify and integrate “conflict-sensitive” strategies into the design and implementation of FAO interventions. The objective is to minimise the risk of any negative or harmful impacts, as well as maximise any positive contributions towards strengthening and consolidating conditions for sustainable local peace. The Programme Clinic is designed in a way that empowers staff from the decentralised offices to facilitate the process effectively without needing to rely on external expert facilitation. The Programme Clinic is an intuitive multi-step process that enables participants to effectively engage in conflict-sensitive analysis and design thinking even if they have no previous training in conflict sensitivity. The process itself, when done effectively, has a secondary effect of building greater awareness of and competence in conflict-sensitive thinking in those participating in Programme Clinics. Both a detailed facilitators’ as well as participants’ guide have been produced to support the Programme Clinic approach.
