Synopsis (short abstract) From global impact assessments to national and local action, FAO promotes adaptation and mitigation in agriculture, fishery, forestry and other sectors as an integral part of development. FAO integrates adaptation and mitigation into agricultural and food security planning and policy advice, including institutional and technical capacity building. FAO advocates better targeting of the agricultural sectors within financing and technology transfer mechanisms, including incentives for adaptation-mi tigation synergies and environmental services. In this context, FAO actively supports the UNFCCC process.

    Strategic Framework for Forests and Climate Change: A Proposal by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests for a coordinated forest-sector response to Climate Change. Summary 2009
    Also available in:
    The CPF Strategic Framework for Forest and Climate Change document is intended as a resource for policymakers on climate change and forests. It puts forward a case for the strategic role of sustainable forest management (SFM) in achieving long-term climate change mitigation and as a robust and flexible framework for effective adaptation to climate change. It presents what is intended to be a living concept of cooperation that will be enriched over time. It should help pave the road to the pivota l 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and to the 8th session of the United Nations Forum on Forests.

    Project
    Supporting Gender-Responsive Adaptation to Climate Change in Kenya - UNJP/KEN/100/UWN 2024
    Also available in:
    The project aimed to address critical challenges posed by climate change in Kenya, particularly in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). In recent years, Kenya has experienced prolonged droughts, frosts in some of the productive agricultural areas, hailstorms, extreme floods, receding lake levels, drying up of rivers and other wetlands, etc., resulting in large economic losses, affecting food security and exacerbating poverty. These negative impacts are compounded by local environmental degradation, mainly caused by habitat loss due to land-use change, pollution, deforestation and overgrazing. Moreover, despite being the main producers of food, women in agriculture own fewer assets and have access to less land, fewer inputs and fewer financial and extension services than men, which limits their rights, potential and well-being, as well as their ability to build climate resilience. The project was designed to increase agricultural productivity, household income, nutrition and technical capacity of women farmer groups to adopt market-driven, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) value chains, while promoting gender equality.
