The Ministries of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, developed a National Strategy to Face Climate Change in Agriculture-Livestock-Fishery' for 2012-2025. This document is a collaboration between FAO and Madagascar to define the medium-term response for assistance needs and provide the organization's partners with a global vision of the scope o…
This report presents the research and action agenda for climate change and mental health for small farmers and fisher peoples. Core to this research was identifying research themes – such as questions on the intersection of mental health and regenerative farming and the mental health impacts of crop loss due to flooding – and emerging intervention areas…
This study examines the impact of socio-economic and institutional support on community responses to climate change and the impact of changes in three selected regions of Senegal (Meouane, Thiel, and Daga Birame), which fall within different rainfall gradients. It captures community perceptions of climate change, compares them to long-term meteorologica…
This study examines the evolving trends for temperature and precipitation, future water availability and the country’s suitability to grow crops under different climate change scenarios in Burkina Faso. The study’s projections go up to 2090, offering opportunities not only to look into short-term trends (2030), but also to take into account medium (2050…
The Future We Don’t Want analysis shows that, unless governments take urgent steps to cut emissions, over 1.6 billion people living in close to 1,000 cities will face regular, extreme heatwaves in under 30 years’ time. To put this in perspective, that is equivalent to more than 40 percent of today’s total urban population. The r…
This paper investigates the long-term (2070–2099) potential impacts of climate change on global food trade networks of three key crops: wheat, rice and maize. The researchers propose a simple network model to project how climate change impacts on crop yields may be translated into changes in trade. Countries' reliance on global food trade networks…
This report makes recommendations on how Nordics can better address transboundary climate risks (TCRs) together. These include a joint research programme, raising awareness and engaging with the private sector.
Climate impacts can hit countries directly, as with floods and forest fires, but can also cascade over borders. As open economies, the Nor…

This volume examines the causes and consequences of drought on Lebanon’s agriculture. Lebanon is getting hotter and dryer. Projections show droughts will likely become more frequent and severe. Climate change, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) impact the occurrence of drought to varying degrees, with NAO being…
This article uses a case study approach to describe how the original LTACs were established, the benefits obtained from the LTAC system, and the expansion of the system to areas outside Colombia. Agriculture is highly sensitive to variations in both weather and climate. Farmers face uncertainty in the weather patterns over the short term, and climate ov…
This Lesotho country profile provides a snapshot of a developing baseline created to initiate discussion, both within countries and globally, about entry points for investing in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) at scale. The CSA concept reflects an ambition to improve the integration of agricultural development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achi…
The resilience strategy outlined in this discussion paper strategically targets regional priorities and challenges. It has three main components:
(1) the improved collection of migration-related data to better understand the relationship between climate change, migration, and displacement, and help decision-makers devise more strategic responses;
(2)…
