Synopsis (short abstract) Livestock is crucial to Kenya's economy and socio-cultural practices, but it also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate-smart agriculture and sustainable livestock management practices can help Kenya achieve its climate change targets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring food and nutrition security. This report presents the key outcomes and recommendations of a national stakeholder workshop FAO organized in December 2022 to address climate change in Kenya's livestock sector.

    Zimbabwe is advancing climate change adaptation in its livestock sector, with key strategies reflected in both its initial and updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Although various climate-smart practices are already being implemented through livestock support programs, their contributions to adaptation and mitigation remain largely undocumented, resulting in their omission from the NDCs. To address this, the Department of Livestock Research has introduced a Tier 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for cattle, allowing for more accurate assessments of mitigation potential and informing the 2025 NDC update. This report brings together insights from literature reviews, policy analysis, and stakeholder consultations to evaluate the current policy landscape for livestock-related climate action. It highlights the sector’s growing vulnerability to climate change, including feed scarcity, disease outbreaks, and declining productivity. The report identifies key policy gaps and stresses the importance of capacity building, data-driven planning, and inclusive engagement to enhance climate resilience and reduce emissions in the livestock sector.

    Engaging the private sector in climate action
    Lessons learned from the implementation of the SCALA Programme

    Building on lessons learned from the SCALA programme, co-led by FAO and UNDP, this document explores how engaging the private sector can drive effective climate action in agriculture and land use. Identifying challenges, opportunities, and solutions, it demonstrates how businesses can play a pivotal role in supporting countries to implement their climate commitments. Through the SCALA programme, FAO and UNDP are fostering collaboration between governments and private sector actors, reducing investment risks, and strengthening the business case for sustainable practices. With targeted support across 12 countries and beyond, SCALA is helping to transform climate goals into concrete actions that enhance resilience and sustainability in agrifood systems.
