ProjectFactsheetStrengthening the Building Blocks of Transformative and Resilient Agriculture in Dominica - TCP/DMI/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In the last 15 years, Dominica has faced numerous significant natural hazards and disasters, linked primarily to its topography and location in the hurricane belt, as well as to its mountainous terrain. Tropical storms often cause high crop losses, landslides and severe soil erosion, as well as nutrient leaching, which, in turn, results in low soil fertility and low productivity. As the frequency of extreme weather events continues to grow in the Caribbean, additional support and preparation is needed to help prevent and respond to potential damage to agriculture, as well as to other sectors in Dominica. The outbreak of COVID-19 has further disrupted livelihoods, resulting in significant job losses: 63 percent of the population reported job losses or income reductions, with this percentage soaring to 90 percent among those who deemed their income well below average. Furthermore, an estimated 2.7 million individuals in the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean experienced food insecurity in February 2021, including 400 000 facing severe food insecurity. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportAssessing Resilience and Building Capacity with SHARP+ in Türkiye in Support of Climate Policy and Reporting - UTF/TUR/071/TUR-F 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture in Türkiye is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with small- and medium-sized farms facing challenges such as water scarcity, reduced productivity, and limited adaptive capacity. Reliable data on household-level resilience and the integration of such evidence into national strategies were lacking. To address this gap, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry - General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies (TAGEM) implemented the project “Climate Change Awareness Assessment and Capacity Building (SHARP+ Tool)” under the World Bank–financed Türkiye Climate Smart and Competitive Agricultural Growth Project. The project sought to assess the resilience of farming households, build institutional capacity to apply the Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of Climate Resilience of Farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP+) methodology, and translate findings into evidence-based policy recommendations aligned with Türkiye’s climate commitments and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting obligations. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Resilience of Vulnerable Communities in Forested Mountain Areas in Lebanon - GCP/LEB/027/SCF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Lebanon is known for its rich forest biodiversity. Its forests have long been subject to intense human intervention and exploitation, resulting in forest losses equivalent to 35 percent of the forest cover. Threats to mountain forest ecosystems are exacerbated by climate change; by 2040, rainfall is projected to decrease by 10-20 percent, temperatures to increase by 1-2°C, and extreme weather events are expected to intensify, resulting in higher water stress on plants and water shortages. The climate change and human activities nexus is accelerating the pace of forest and land degradation and the depletion of natural resources. Poor rural populations in mountain forest areas, including a growing number of Syrian refugees, are the most vulnerable to climate change. These communities rely on fuelwood for heating and on non-wood forest products for part of their incomes and livelihoods. Projected increase in forest fire and pest outbreaks would further reduce the availability of wood and non-wood forest products. Against this backdrop, the project aimed to address the pressing issues of deforestation and land degradation in Lebanon. Its primary objective was to implement reforestation initiatives and promote sustainable forest management (SFM) practices, in order to enhance ecological balance and contribute to the well-being of local communities.
