Synopsis (short abstract) The 30 th session of the FAO Regional Conference for Africa highlighted the role of climate change as a key driver of change in African agricultural and food systems, and recommended that FAO reinforce its work with African countries with regard to the refinement and implementation of their NDCs Agriculture sectors feature prominently in countries’countries’( Nationally Determined Contributions ( the highest political instrument by which countries communicate their mitigation ambitions and adaptation plans to strengthen resilience In Africa, a recent analysis of the NDCs of Eastern African countries showed that all the countries in the subregion include agriculture and LULUCF in their adaptation component, and 89 percent of the countries in their mitigation component.

    Climate Resilience in Agricultural and Rural Development Programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean - TCP/RLA/3704 2022
    Also available in:
    Climate change and weather variations have an influence on the incidence of natural phenomena around the world, and pose a serious threat to crops, livestock and agricultural systems in general, putting countries' Food and Nutrition Security ( at risk Likewise, the livelihoods of rural societies are under threat, with a reduced ability to overcome poverty and achieve development The countries of the Latin America and Caribbean ( region are designing and implementing national programmes for agricultural and rural development, yet most of these programmes do not consider the threats and challenges arising from the effects of climate change and, therefore, do not include practices, actions and mechanisms that make them more resilient and better adapted to this phenomenon To ensure sustainable rural development, it is essential that national programmes for agricultural and rural development in the region include considerations of mitigation, adaptation and resilience with regard to the effects and new circumstances that arise due to climate change The project’s goal was to establish the necessary guidelines for the integration of resilience criteria into national programmes for agricultural and rural development in LAC, while developing the necessary technical and institutional capacities to do so.

    The project successfully fostered climate change adaptation informed planning and budgeting in the agriculture sectors in the 11 target countries. This was achieved by strengthening the capacities of around 5 200 national and sectoral decision makers, representing over 120 institutions across the target countries, in identifying and appraising adaptation options, using tools such as multicriteria assessment, Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), impact evaluation, and vulnerability and risk assessment, to facilitate evidence based decision making in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) process. Strategic capacities to advance adaptation planning and implementation were also reinforced, including on gender mainstreaming, climate finance, mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation of adaptation. In this context, a significant number of guidance materials were developed for policy makers and practitioners, related to different aspects of adaptation planning in agriculture. The project also helped countries to create collaborations with ongoing projects, and unlock innovative sources of climate finance that could support adaptation in their agriculture sectors. In addition, many partnerships and alliances were built with global research organizations, regional expert centres, national universities and civil society organizations.
