    This guidance has been developed under the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme, which supports decision makers to implement the agriculture priorities of their national climate plans. SCALA recognizes the critical role of the private sector in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in agriculture and land-use sectors. This guidance provides practical advice on how to translate climate priorities in the agrifood systems into actionable projects by identifying investment opportunities, understanding barriers and risks, and selecting de-risking tools to attract private sector investment.

    Agrifood companies and the private sector are vital partners in addressing global climate change. The Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme recognizes their unique role in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in agriculture and land use. The SCALA private sector engagement guidance series aims to support SCALA-supported countries in their efforts to engage with the private sector for the implementation of their national climate plans. The first addition to this series is the "Private sector mapping, outreach, and engagement in climate-responsive agrifood systems" guidance. This guidance outlines a three-step process for collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive NAPs and NDCs implementation. It explains how to identify relevant private sector actors, prioritize them based on climate relevance and potential contributions, and engage them strategically in joint climate action. By utilising this guidance, countries can enhance private sector engagement, foster partnerships, and drive climate actions in the agrifood sectors.

    Agrifood systems in national adaptation plans
    An analysis
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    As the national adaptation plan (NAP) process gains global momentum, this joint FAO–UNDP analysis produced under the SCALA programme looks across all NAPs from developing countries – 64 in total as of 15 June 2025 – to take stock of adaptation priorities and needs in agrifood systems. The analysis serves as a reference for guiding adaptation implementation and investments, highlighting adaptation planning progress and gaps, and providing actionable insights on how to strengthen the integration of agrifood systems into NAPs in a way that is grounded in evidence-based, forward-looking, and inclusive approaches. It recognizes that agrifood systems are highly sensitive and exposed to climate change, and their effective integration into NAPs is an important step towards advancing resilience, food security, and sustainable development.
