ProjectEnhancing Climate Resilient Agriculture in Southern Iraq
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the “Enhancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture in Southern Iraq” project (FAO project symbol GCP/IRQ/073/CAN) addresses the moderate-risk environmental and social impacts associated with installing solar systems on irrigation canals in Najaf and Muthanna. The project, operational from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2027, aims to enhance the resilience of vulnerable agricultural households to climate change across several Governorates in Southern Iraq.The ESMP outlines measures to mitigate risks related to the Water-Energy-Food Nexus while promoting sustainable agricultural practices and rural electrification. A key focus is on gender inclusion, empowering women farmers as change agents through the establishment of "Climate Wise Women" who will facilitate the adoption of climate-smart agriculture. The plan ensures women's participation in training programs and addresses barriers to their involvement in agricultural initiatives. Overall, the ESMP aims to integrate environmental and social considerations throughout the project’s implementation, aligning with other FAO initiatives to strengthen climate resilience in the region. -
ProjectEnhancing Climate Resilient Agriculture in Southern Iraq
Stakeholder Engagement Plan
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO projects in Southern Iraq, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), aim to improve water productivity, food security, and climate resilience for rural households. The GAC project ($7.3 million) focuses on empowering women through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and installing solar panels to enhance irrigation. The SIDA project ($10.2 million) promotes CSA, post-harvest improvements, and policy dialogue on water efficiency. Both initiatives align with the Green Climate Fund’s efforts to strengthen climate resilience in Iraq's agricultural sector. -

Also available in:
No results found.The negative effect of climate risks on agriculture in the Republic of North Macedonia is increasing The agriculture sector, particularly the small farm sector, is exposed to prolonged heat waves, increasingly severe droughts and floods Less than ten percent of agricultural land is irrigated and, with the exception of the western parts of the country, water deficiencies occur in summer, resulting in significant moisture stress for summer crops A case study on the influence of excessive heat on livestock breeding found that the yearly number of live pigs was 2 14 percent lower per litter when high temperatures were taken into account, while analysis of viticulture showed that both table and wine grapes were vulnerable to increases in temperature.
