    This discussion paper aims to help practitioners work in a more informed and politically sensitive way to integrate actions on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in agriculture. It illustrates some typical governance and political economy-related barriers that may hamper convergence or integration of DRR and CCA actions. It also provides guidance for in-depth governance analysis, putting the analytical focus at national and subnational levels, while considering the international context as an important factor for convergence. The FAO Governance and Policy Support Discussion Paper series provides perspectives and concepts on critical governance and policy issues that are relevant to FAO work at country, regional and global levels. Discussion Papers are often based on work in progress, and we welcome suggestions and ideas by email at: governance-support@fao.org.

    This guidance note supports the implementation of the Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) that sit at the heart of the Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The screening, assessment, management and monitoring of environmental and social risks and impacts are key tools to ensure the sound environmental and social performance of projects. These steps constitute a process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and avoiding or – where avoidance is not possible – mitigating the adverse environmental and social impacts of project activities. Identifying potential risks and impacts in advance allows for informed decision-making to avoid and reduce adverse consequences and maximize potential beneficial outcomes. With an emphasis on the engagement of stakeholders, the screening, assessment and management process improves public understanding and promotes ownership of project activities.
