ProjectFactsheetIntégration de la dimension adaptation au changement climatique dans le secteur agropastoral au Sénégal - GCP/SEN/065/LDF 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Le Sénégal s’est engagé dans un processus d’adaptation aux effets du changement climatique, mais l’efficience des interventions menées dans le secteur agricole est limitée par l'insuffisante intégration de la dimension d’adaptation au changement climatique (ACC) dans les politiques, stratégies, programmes et projets de développement. L’objectif global du projet était d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition des communautés agro-sylvo-pastorales à travers le développement de moyens d’existence résilients aux effets du changement climatique en: i) facilitant l’accès des producteurs et agropasteurs à une information agroclimatique utile et utilisable et l’adoption de pratiques d’ACC par les producteurs; ii) améliorant la capacité du secteur agro-sylvo-pastoral à faire face au changement climatique en intégrant des stratégies d’ACC aux politiques, aux programmes et aux projets de développement. -
ProjectFactsheetMainstreaming Climate Change into Provincial Development Planning - TCP/SRL/3805 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change poses a significant threat to Sri Lanka. Extreme weather conditions such as prolonged drought, flash floods, and landslides have devastating effects on agriculture, food security, and livelihoods. To build resilience, the Government of Sri Lanka developed a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for the period of 2016-2025, which identifies challenges and opportunities for reducing vulnerability and adapting to climate change impacts. However, despite the national focus on climate change adaptation, there was a notable gap in integrating these efforts into local planning and decision-making processes. Provincial agencies lacked the necessary frameworks, capacity, and resources to effectively address climate change issues, limiting their ability to implement adaptive measures and build resilience. Recognizing the lack of sub-national plans, the Government of Sri Lanka sought the technical assistance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to mainstream climate change adaptation into regional and provincial development planning. Within this cooperation, the Ministry of Environment (MOE) highlighted the need to build capacities, create a roadmap, and develop a climate data portal to support provincial development planning. To further facilitate local adaptation measures, the NAP identified the need for institutional and coordination mechanisms at the provincial level. By addressing these critical gaps, the project aimed to enhance the decision-making and resilience of Sri Lanka’s provinces. -
ProjectFactsheetAdapting Agriculture To Climate Change Project (AACCP) - Building Climate Resilience In The Gambia - GCP/GAM/033/LDF 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change poses severe challenges to The Gambia's agricultural sector, where over 70 percent of farmers depend on small-scale, subsistence rainfed crop production and traditional livestock rearing. Over the past 40 years, climate records show clear negative trends including declining rainfall, shorter growing seasons, increased variability, and rising temperatures that threaten rural livelihoods and food security. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the Global Environment Facility’s (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), implemented the Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project (AACCP) in collaboration with The Gambia’s Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to promote sustainable and diversified livelihood strategies that reduce climate vulnerability in agriculture and livestock sectors. The project addressed critical barriers, including insufficient institutional capacity for climate adaptation, inadequate vulnerability data and risk information systems, farmers' heavy dependence on monocropping and widespread rangeland degradation.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
