ProjectFactsheetIncreased Resilience of Agriculture Sector through Promotion of Climate Smart Agriculture Practices - TCP/MCD/3705 2022
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. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Sustainable, Productive and Climate-Change Resilient Agricultural and Rural Systems of Urmia Lake Basin - GCP/IRA/066/JPN 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing a severe escalation of water scarcity, due to key drivers such as demographic growth, the tendency to increase food self-sufficiency, urbanization expansion, energy demand, and overall socio-economic development. This is further compounded by the negative impacts of climate change and the considerable degradation of water quality. In this context, Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), a vast hypersaline lake in the northwest of the country, has faced intense pressures over the last three decades and is in a state of ecological crisis, with major impacts on its biodiversity and socio-economic conditions. Since 2013, the Government has made an intensive and comprehensive effort to restore Urmia Lake; however, the condition of the lake was still critical and more support was required. Against this background, this project, funded by the Government of Japan, aimed to contribute to more sustainable, productive and climate-resilient agricultural and rural systems, with a positive impact on the environment and on the water balance (inflow-outflow) of Urmia Lake. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Sustainability and Resilience to Effects of Climate Change in City Region Food Systems - GCP/INT/275/GER 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Today, about 55 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68 percent by 2050. The majority of this growth will be in Africa and Southeast Asia. The rapid urbanization and the estimated nine-billion world population by 2050 creates enormous challenges to conventional food production and food and nutrition security. At the same time, climate change is posing additional challenges, affecting cities and their surrounding areas. The number of reported natural hazards (such as droughts, floods, storms, etc.) has almost doubled in the last two decades. An increase in climate change related risks is affecting processes and stakeholders along the entire food system. Increasing food prices resulting from disruptions in production and transport directly impact consumers, especially low-income groups in city regions that are highly dependent on purchased food. Cities are requesting support to plan interventions to make food systems more sustainable, inclusive and resilient to natural shocks, with strong rural-urban linkages, including and emphasizing the role of small-scale farmers, to scale up sustainable practices and improve the food system in a holistic manner. Against this background, the city region food systems (CRFS) programme was established. The programme has been demonstrating its effectiveness in strengthening rural-urban linkages and integrating sectors for a more sustainable and resilient food system. The need now is to combine the assessment work based on past and present data with future scenarios on climate change impact in the city region contexts.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
