Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents the first comprehensive analysis of climate finance needs for agrifood systems to help meet the 1.5-degree objective. Low-carbon and resilient agrifood systems are vital to ensure the food security and sustainable development of a growing human population and global economic development. This report aims to better inform decision-makers and investors in the agrifood space. Establishing this baseline for financial needs can help to track action against the efforts required to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Agrifood systems in nationally determined contributions: Global analysis
Key findings
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

This publication provides an overview of the major climate-related risks and greenhouse hotspots in agrifood systems and synthesizes in seven key findings the main climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies being set forth in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to address them. It also takes stock of the underpinning governance, knowledge and capacity and finance needs articulated to enable climate action in agrifood systems. Lastly, ahead of the global call for third-round NDCs expected to be submitted by all countries in 2025, these key findings serve to inform enhanced ambition, action and support of the mitigation, adaptation and climate finance ambition gaps in agrifood systems.

Climate-related development finance to agrifood systems
Global and regional trends between 2000 and 2021
2023

Also available in:

No results found.

The amount of climate finance flowing to agrifood systems is strikingly low and continues to diminish vis-à-vis global climate finance flows. Agriculture is one of the sectors with the highest adaptation finance needs for implementing the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) but climate finance for adaptation is also on a downward trend. The diminishing trends of both agrifood and adaptation investments is a cause for alarm and a missed opportunity. This publication addresses the persistent knowledge gap related to climate finance to agrifood systems, providing data and information to support countries making informed decisions towards agrifood systems transformation. The analysis brings to light the evolution of climate finance in agrifood systems over the past two decades, showcasing unique sectorial analysis of climate finance allocations for adaptation and mitigation, delving into the diversity of actors involved, from bilateral and multilateral agencies to the private sector, highlighting the critical need for partnerships that transcend boundaries.

Climate-related development finance to agrifood systems, 2024 update 2024

Also available in:

No results found.

This technical brief is a special update of the recent Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) analysis “Climate-related development finance to agrifood systems – global and regional trends” and includes newly released data for 2022. Climate finance is a fundamental element of the global development agenda and has been increasingly considered in international fora such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the G20 Agenda. The update aims to inform participants of the UNFCCC 29th Conference of the Parties (COP 29), as well as UN agencies, international finance institutions, national governments of both donor and recipient countries, governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, and a wider group of partners interested in climate-related development finance. The document was prepared as part of the work plan of the Food and Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation (FAST) Partnership.
