No results found.This policy brief is part of a series to present evidence from the strategies and praxis of the UN Joint Programme on Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE). Based on case studies, experiences and evaluations from the JP RWEE, it draws conclusions and makes recommendations for expanding sustainable development and climate change policies and programmes, particularly for climate-resilient agriculture, that simultaneously advance rural women’s economic empowerment and protect the planet. It aims to enable international, national and local stakeholders to formulate evidence-based policies and practices that build on JP RWEE achievements to date, and also to address challenges and gaps towards the effective promotion of gender equality in a rapidly changing climate. -

No results found.The negative effect of climate risks on agriculture in the Republic of North Macedonia is increasing The agriculture sector, particularly the small farm sector, is exposed to prolonged heat waves, increasingly severe droughts and floods Less than ten percent of agricultural land is irrigated and, with the exception of the western parts of the country, water deficiencies occur in summer, resulting in significant moisture stress for summer crops A case study on the influence of excessive heat on livestock breeding found that the yearly number of live pigs was 2 14 percent lower per litter when high temperatures were taken into account, while analysis of viticulture showed that both table and wine grapes were vulnerable to increases in temperature. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPro-Resilient Fiji – Strengthening climate resilience of communities for food and nutrition security 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Fiji experiences prolonged dry spells quite often, usually for three to four months duration, when the north-western parts of the main islands receive little or no rain which adversely impact agriculture. The overall objective of the FAO Pro-Resilient Fiji project is to structurally and sustainably reduce food insecurity and nutrition deterioration from climate change-induced disasters by tackling the root and underlying causes of vulnerability. The project foresees to improve climate risk identification, disaster management capacities and ensure the adoption of climate-smart and nutritionsensitive agricultural techniques. CSA is defined by FAO as agriculture that sustainably increases productivity, enhances resilience through adaptation; reduces GHGs through mitigation where possible, and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals.
