    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with the support of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – the world’s largest dedicated fund for climate action – together with Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam is implementing a project Agriculture Sector Readiness for enhanced climate finance and implementation of Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture priorities in Southeast Asia to develop national climate finance investment programmes and projects linked to adaptation and mitigation priorities for the agriculture sectors. The project aims to enhance the capacity of Southeast Asian governments and other stakeholders to access climate finance for agriculture, supported by knowledge and learning exchanges and consultations to promote innovative mechanisms for public and private sector climate finance at the country and regional levels. Climate foresight for agrifood systems, which aims to develop future scenarios for the sector in a participatory and multi-stakeholder manner based on the agroecological and socioeconomic conditions of the project countries, has been instrumental in identifying climate-smart agriculture options.

    Despite the progress made on climate change adaptation and mitigation in the Pacific, the agriculture sector remains peripheral in regional discussions on climate change and the path required for a sustainable future The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture ( began during Fiji’s leadership at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( Conference of the Parties ( 23 and discussions, expert meetings and workshops dedicated to the KJWA have continued since that date The KJWA addresses six interrelated topics on soils, nutrient use, water, livestock, methods for assessing adaptation, and the socio economic and food security dimensions of climate change across agricultural sectors An emphasis on the importance of agriculture and food security in regional strategic climate change dialogue is essential if countries are to quantify the potential benefits of climate mitigation actions on the agricultural sector Significant progress has been made in recent years, with countries agreeing on a roadmap for the KJWA and, in 2018 42 submissions to the KJWA were made to the UNFCCC.

    Increasing direct access to the Green Climate Fund for agriculture in Southeast Asia
    A regional assessment of existing and potential Direct Access Entities

    Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are essential for country ownership of Green Climate Fund (GCF) projects and programmes. National, sub-national and regional organizations accredited by GCF as DAEs directly access and implement the Fund’s resources, aligned with and advancing national strategies, priorities and plans. Significant challenges impede direct access, however, and limit the ability of national, sub-national and regional institutions to become accredited as DAEs. Because of these challenges, only four DAEs have been accredited in the six countries participating in the Agriculture Sector Readiness for enhanced climate finance and implementation of Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture priorities in Southeast Asia project (ASEAN GCF Readiness project), despite the urgent need for more country-driven climate finance in these countries, particularly for the agriculture sector.In response to this need, the ASEAN GCF Readiness project conducted an assessment to identify potential DAEs in the agriculture sector, understand challenges faced by existing and potential DAEs related to accreditation, and assess opportunities for DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for climate adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector. The assessment found that there are at least 20 national and regional organizations across the six countries positioned for, interested in or pursuing accreditation as DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for agriculture. Additional findings address challenges faced by potential and existing DAEs to help increase direct access, enhance country ownership, and mobilize more GCF resources for climate-resilient and low-emission agriculture in Southeast Asia.
