Synopsis (short abstract) Agricultural production is inextricably tied to climate, making agriculture one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In countries such as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly pressing problem, because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Against this background, the project aimed to increase the institutional capacity of the Government and other entities to assess climate-change impacts and identify adaptation options, and to provide improved extension and education material to farmers, secondary schoolteachers and scout leaders.

    Also available in:
    The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a new global fund created by the countries, parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to support the efforts of developing countries to respond to the challenge of climate change. GCF seeks to promote a paradigm shift to low-emission and climate-resilient development, accounting for the needs of nations that are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The principle of Country Ownership is at the heart of the work the GCF conducts in the developing world. The Fund also recognizes that country ownership is a continual process, and that National Designated Authorities (NDAs) have a key role in driving institutional development and stakeholder engagement for establishing effective mechanism that addresses climate-related issues. This factsheet is jointly developed by the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs, in its role as NDA to GCF and FAO in the frames of the project “Support for the management of an effective national coordinative mechanism regarding the Green Climate Fund.
