2019Also available in:
No results found.In October 2019, the IsDB and FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa partnered to deliver the first Regional Workshop on Climate-Smart Agriculture in the NENA region. The IsDB now aims to ensure that all their offices are aware of CSA and are able to make investments that meaningfully take CSA and its principles into account. In so doing, they aim to enhance the capacity of the agricultural systems to support food security, incorporating the need for adaptation and the potential for mitigation into sustainable agriculture development strategies. FAO is proud to bring the four-day training on CSA to the IsDB’s Staff: Climate-Smart Agriculture in action: from concepts to investments, to support the development of climate-smart agricultural investment projects in the IsDB’s focus countries, especially through its Climate Change and Agricultural policies. This training booklet contains core information from the training, including but not limited to: learning objectives, learning materials, and key CSA Sourcebook Chapters. The training booklet also provides useful links to additional learning resources, as well as key FAO publications for future reference. -
General interest bookClimate-smart agriculture and the Sustainable Development Goals
Mapping interlinkages, synergies and trade-offs and guidelines for integrated implementation
2019Also available in:
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets presents a universally accepted and comprehensive framework addressing all aspects and dimensions of sustainability. The integration of the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda provides an opportunity to enhance the overall sustainability of CSA results and synergize CSA interventions with other sustainable development efforts. To achieve this integration, a clear understanding of how the CSA implementation process can engage with the 2030 Agenda throughout the five CSA implementation steps is required. Moreover, the interlinkages between CSA objectives and the SDGs and associated targets need to be well understood – including both potential synergies and trade-offs. This publication presents an assessment and mapping of CSA-SDG interlinkages. These provide entry points for targeted CSA planning to enhance synergies and reduce potential trade-offs between CSA objectives and SDGs. The publication also provides guidelines for the integration of the CSA implementation steps with the 2030 Agenda. An important aspect of these guidelines is the integration with the Paris Agreement – and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) pledged by countries – as a complementary process to the 2030 Agenda and the central reference point for countries’ commitments to climate action. -
BrochureThe way forward: policies and financing for climate change adaptation and mitigation in agriculture 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Countries have recognized the need for comprehensive changes in agriculture and food systems in order to adapt to and contribute to mitigation of climate change. To further these changes, appropriate policies and institutions are needed that align agricultural development, food security and climate objectives. They also have to be supported by financial resources, which must be used strategically to ensure maximum impact.This is Info note number 3 of 3 drawn from The State of Food and Ag riculture 2016. Climate change, agriculture and food security. For sources and more detail, please refer to the complete report (available at www.fao.org/3/a-i6030e.pdf).
The Info note 1 presents the main contents of the report and discusses the changes needed in agriculture in order to respond to the challenge of climate change.
The Info note 2 discusses the constraints to adoption of improved agricultural practices for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
