ProjectFactsheetAddressing Challenges and Opportunities at the Heart of the Climate Change, Migration and Rural Livelihoods Nexus - GCP/GLO/448/IRE 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change and food security are complex, intertwined processes, whose interaction has profound implications on human mobility. Rural people are exceptionally vulnerable to climate change impacts owing to their strong dependency on climate sensitive livelihoods and natural resources. Rural areas therefore appear to be at higher risk of climate induced migration, as is the case for Zimbabwe and other countries in Southern Africa. Despite increased evidence of climate induced migration and its relevance for rural areas, there is still a lack of policy coherence and coordination across sectors. This limits the adoption of comprehensive approaches to climate mobility that can tackle the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of climate change, migration and rural livelihoods. Through this project, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aimed at addressing this policy and programmatic gap, generating knowledge and strengthening capacities to ultimately address the root causes of climate induced mobility while harnessing the contribution of migration to climate adaptation. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookClimate change, migration and rural adaptation in the Near East and North Africa region 2023
Also available in:
No results found.While there are instances where individuals or households are forcibly displaced or leave because they feel a decent life is no longer possible, migration is more than just a response to an unfolding crisis. Under certain conditions, migration can be a proactive livelihood diversification strategy that contributes to rural households’ capacity to adapt to changing conditions. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe relations between climate change and child labour in agriculture
Evidence on children’s work trends after climate-related events in Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Nepal and Peru
2023Also available in:
No results found.Climate change-related events undermine children’s educational attainment, exposing them to child labour, hazardous work and forced migration. This nexus is particularly relevant for agriculture and its subsectors: indeed, they absorb about 26 percent of the economic impacts of climate change-related disasters and host 70 percent of all child labour. This study aims to identify the extent to which climate change-related events and impacts affect child labour in agriculture by exploring the underlying connection between the two challenges as the initial step towards integrating a child labour lens within the international community’s work on climate change. It showcases the multi-dimensional relationship through a mixed-methods approach in four countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Nepal and Peru. The qualitative and quantitative findings propose a set of policy implications that are in line with the concept that one-size-fits-all policy prescriptions are unlikely to work, as they must be tailored to different communities based on their characteristics.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
