Book (stand-alone)Technical reportIncreasing direct access to the Green Climate Fund for agriculture in Southeast Asia
A regional assessment of existing and potential Direct Access Entities
2025Also available in:
No results found.Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are essential for country ownership of Green Climate Fund (GCF) projects and programmes. National, sub-national and regional organizations accredited by GCF as DAEs directly access and implement the Fund’s resources, aligned with and advancing national strategies, priorities and plans. Significant challenges impede direct access, however, and limit the ability of national, sub-national and regional institutions to become accredited as DAEs. Because of these challenges, only four DAEs have been accredited in the six countries participating in the Agriculture Sector Readiness for enhanced climate finance and implementation of Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture priorities in Southeast Asia project (ASEAN GCF Readiness project), despite the urgent need for more country-driven climate finance in these countries, particularly for the agriculture sector.In response to this need, the ASEAN GCF Readiness project conducted an assessment to identify potential DAEs in the agriculture sector, understand challenges faced by existing and potential DAEs related to accreditation, and assess opportunities for DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for climate adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector. The assessment found that there are at least 20 national and regional organizations across the six countries positioned for, interested in or pursuing accreditation as DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for agriculture. Additional findings address challenges faced by potential and existing DAEs to help increase direct access, enhance country ownership, and mobilize more GCF resources for climate-resilient and low-emission agriculture in Southeast Asia. -
DocumentOther documentClimate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia - Workshop report
Chiang Mai, Thailand, 21-24 January 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems in Southeast Asia require an urgent sustainable transformation to combat escalating climate change impacts. They also ensure food security as well as provide livelihoods for millions of small-scale farmers and fisherfolk. There is a pressing need to prioritize targeted climate investments in agrifood systems at the country and regional levels to address climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities for the most vulnerable people and communities.This report from the "Climate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia" workshop outlines strategic approaches to enhance access to climate finance and implement effective policies that align with countries' national climate plans, or Nationally Determined Contributions. The workshop report highlights six country climate foresight-driven project initiatives in Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam that address key climate risks and opportunities for aquaculture and fisheries sectors, rice production, and climate-smart agriculture.The document presents outcomes from the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network's tenth anniversary celebration, which has provided an inclusive platform for regional cooperation on climate-smart agriculture. Special emphasis is placed on innovative financing instruments, including the Southeast Asia Agricultural Risk Finance Facility, which is being developed to strengthen smallholder farmers' resilience against climate shocks. These approaches demonstrate pathways toward a resilient and low-emission agrifood system transformation that balances environmental sustainability with economic growth and agricultural productivity across Southeast Asia. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with the support of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – the world’s largest dedicated fund for climate action – together with Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam is implementing a project Agriculture Sector Readiness for enhanced climate finance and implementation of Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture priorities in Southeast Asia to develop national climate finance investment programmes and projects linked to adaptation and mitigation priorities for the agriculture sectors. The project aims to enhance the capacity of Southeast Asian governments and other stakeholders to access climate finance for agriculture, supported by knowledge and learning exchanges and consultations to promote innovative mechanisms for public and private sector climate finance at the country and regional levels. Climate foresight for agrifood systems, which aims to develop future scenarios for the sector in a participatory and multi-stakeholder manner based on the agroecological and socioeconomic conditions of the project countries, has been instrumental in identifying climate-smart agriculture options.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
