    Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.

    FAO’s Smarter investments Up-scaled development – FAO Multipartner Programme Support Mechanism Selected highlight of achievements and success stories 2019

    No results found.
    This Marketing Report presents the results of FAO’s Multi-Partner Programme Support Mechanism (FMM) achievements from 2014 to 2017. It demonstrates clearly that the FMM contributed to the Organization’s successful delivery of tangible results in countries and brought about other important benefits in terms of innovation, catalytic effects and stimulation of cross-sectoral work. The Report further highlights how FAO, through the FMM, has successfully leveraged its capabilities, both at a global and country level. The flexible funding mechanism of the FMM has proven to be a catalytic force in addressing critical funding gaps, forging new partnerships, testing and scaling up innovative areas of work and designing bigger and more impactful initiatives. The results presented here not only highlight the benefits of FAO’s global normative work and knowledge products, but also the relevance of the FMM to empowering a large number of smallholders, especially rural women and youth, enhancing resilience to climate shocks, generating farm and off-farm incomes and meeting livelihood needs.
