Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Changes in farming systems coupled with increased deforestation rates and agriculture encroachment in the upper reaches of watersheds greatly reduces vital ecosystem services such as temperature regulation, water quality and retention, erosion control, and flood and drought severity reduction for farmers, whose livelihoods depend on water for survival. Thousands of farmers across the country are not prepared to defend themselves from the impending climate change crisis nor do they have the skill s and tools needed for integrated ecosystem management. This project addresses efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change in rural communities of Cambodia, through the development of watershed management plans in all target landscapes, assistance to replant vegetation and trees along streams, rivers, and forested areas, as well as building small scale water retention and irrigation structures. Through Farmer Field Schools, resilient climate adaptation agriculture practices are taught to far mers to become more food secure and less vulnerable to climate change.

    Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. About 736 million people live in extreme poverty, and the global response to climate change today will determine how we feed future generations. By 2030, UN member countries have committed to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger for people everywhere. As ending poverty and hunger are at the heart of FAO’s work, the organization is helping countries develop and implement evidence-based pro-poor policies, strategies and programmes that promote inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, as well as to increase the resilience, adaptive and coping capacity of poor and vulnerable communities to climate change. In order to achieve this, FAO encourages an integrated Climate-Poverty Approach to support policy development and action by policymakers, government officials, local-level institutions, communities, researchers, and development and humanitarian agencies worldwide. The Approach has been developed with insights from many perspectives, and includes not only climate and poverty aspects, but also indigenous, gender, food security, disaster response, resilience, SIDS and coastal community perspectives, among others. With a series of policy recommendations and tools to improve the design, delivery, and results of synergies and linkages between climate mitigation and adaptation, poverty reduction and food security actions, these synergies and linkages can make significant contributions towards achieving both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement targets.

    The risk of disasters in agriculture is increasing as a resultof the growing exposure of people, their livelihoodsand assets, to extreme natural events and climate change.The unsustainable management of natural resourcesreduces the resilience of food systems even further,creating new risks and directly affecting food security.Countries have requested the support of FAO for disasterrisk reduction and to help combat climate change,understanding that the sustainable management ofresources for agriculture and food security is aprerequisite to guaranteeing the resilience of the sector.The objectives of this project were to establishinstitutional arrangements and mechanisms to fostercooperation between countries on these issues, andenhance capabilities for good practice implementation,geared towards bringing about change based on asustainable template for farming production anddevelopment, as an essential requirement toguaranteeing food security for future generations.In addition, the need to reinforce dialogue on, and actionin, regional and subregional areas was proposed to helppromote coordinated initiatives among different countriesthrough specific tools, such as policy, programme andsystem development. This allowed the project to furthertap into existing funding, including for the monitoringand early warning mechanisms for droughts, animalpest and disease control, disaster risk managementand climate change mitigation, for the sustainablemanagement of resources, especially water.
