ProjectIdentifying Suitable Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Practices for Scale-Up in Thailand - TCP/THA/3604 2020
Also available in:
No results found.With global weather patterns becoming increasingly unpredictable, like many other regions, Thailand’s agricultural production systems and communities are expected to suffer from rapidly fluctuating temperatures and increased frequencies and intensities of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods. This will inevitably have adverse impacts on agricultural productivity, endangering economic growth and the livelihoods of the vulnerable smallholder farmers dependent on this sector for their well-being. In addition, decreasing productivity will substantially impact regional and national food security statuses. It is therefore imperative that agricultural systems evolve with practices that help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigatition), and to adjust to the rapid environmental changes. However, the abilities of these agricultural production systems and dependent communities to cope with the constraints and opportunities that come with climatic variability are still not well understood, and should therefore be given higher priority, in order to enhance resilience. Developing farmers’ capacities and knowledge to make climate smart choices in their agricultural practices is crucial, but requires in-depth understanding of the local socio-economic contexts and suitability in different agro-ecological zones of a country. Climate smart agriculture (CSA), which incorporates adaptation and mitigation measures while ensuring productivity, has the potential to build synergies and limit trade-offs in agriculture under present climate uncertainties, and reduce existing knowledge gaps and non-alignment between sectors and policies. Thailand has developed a national sector strategy to promote an approach that is consistent with CSA. However, there is limited understanding of how CSA technologies and approaches are being adopted or deployed by relevant government agencies. Against this background, the project aimed to enhance the resilience to climate change of rural communities in four regions (north, northeast, central and south), through the identification and proactive promotion of CSA practices. -
ProjectIntegrated Climate Smart Agriculture Practices and Approaches Towards Sustainability and Climate Resilience Through the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture - TCP/SAP/3811 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are vital sectors for the socio-economic stability of SIDS, supporting livelihoods and contributing significantly to export earnings. However, these sectors are increasingly threatened by climate change, which exacerbates existing vulnerabilities and introduces new challenges. Climate variability and extreme weather events, such as cyclones, droughts, and floods, pose severe risks to food security, increase malnutrition and poverty, and hinder progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pacific SIDS are among the most environmentally vulnerable regions globally, facing unique development challenges that are further compounded by climate change. The IPCC predicts more frequent and intense extreme weather events in the coming decades, threatening agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, particularly in low-lying islands at risk from sea level rise and groundwater contamination. The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) adopted at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP 23 highlights the need to integrate agriculture into climate change strategies. However, effective implementation at national and local levels requires engaging Ministries of Agriculture, local farmers, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and NGOs. Historically, UNFCCC negotiations have seen limited participation from agricultural ministries. -
ProjectEnhance climate resilience of vulnerable agriculture households in Southern Iraq through the promotion of climate smart water management and good agriculture practices in selected value chains.
Stakeholder Engagement Plan
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO projects in Southern Iraq, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), aim to improve water productivity, food security, and climate resilience for rural households. The GAC project ($7.3 million) focuses on empowering women through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and installing solar panels to enhance irrigation. The SIDA project ($10.2 million) promotes CSA, post-harvest improvements, and policy dialogue on water efficiency. Both initiatives align with the Green Climate Fund’s efforts to strengthen climate resilience in Iraq's agricultural sector.
