Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGreenhouse gas appraisal on the adaptation to salinity intrusion project 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This working document presents the results of an EX-ACT Greenhouse Gas appraisal of the "Mekong Delta Integrated Climate Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Project (MD-ICRSL)" conducted with the MD-ICRSL team during the EX-ACT workshop organized by FAO and the World Bank from 14 to 17 June 2016 in Hanoi. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) is an appraisal system developed by FAO providing ex-ante estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, programmes and p olicies on the carbon-balance. The project objectives are to improve the capacity of institutions and beneficiaries to manage increasing pressures from climate change (such as seawater intrusion). -
DocumentThe Carbon Balance of the World Bank-financed Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Project of the Government of Rwanda: Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance tool (EX-ACT)

No results found.Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO’s work on Climate Change: Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use 2016At the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal global climate agreement that sets out a global action plan to limit global warming to well below 2°C. A key outcome was the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) to build trust and confidence on countries’ contributions and progress.
