    This leaflet provides an overview of the Self-evaluation and holistic assessment of climate resilience of farmers and pastoralists (SHARP) tool and how it might be used to help countries fulfill their reporting requirements related to the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework. SHARP assesses smallholders' resilience to climate change and is also useful for monitoring and evaluating climate change adaptation in various agriculture sectors. It contributes to SDG 13: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts".

    Climate change poses a great challenge risk to agricultural production systems, increasing the use of water, extending agriculture to marginal areas and reducing productivity in some areas potentially threatening those who particularly depend on local food production for their livelihood. Information on the impact of climate change is a primary tool for policy makers to cope with climate change. In the recent years, scientists have developed a range of different models, which monitor, evaluate a nd predict the effect of climatic change. However, information is often scattered, incomplete or specifically focused on one scientific domain. An innovative multidisciplinary approach combining all knowledge from the different domains would therefore be an ideal tool to evaluate the sustainability of our agricultural systems. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with European research institutes has developed MOSAICC, a system of models and utilitie s designed to carry out inter-disciplinary climate change impact assessment on agriculture, water resources, forestry, economy through simulations at national level. It uses an innovative approach that integrates five components to assess the impact of climate change and comprises documentation on methods and tools, as well as user manual and sample data. The system is typically deployed in national institutions (ministries, research institutes, universities) and delivered with training sessions , under the framework of an inter-institutional agreement and trust fund sources.
