Framework Programme on Climate Change Adaptation

  Available online: http://www.fao.org/docrep/014/i2316e/i2316e00.pdf

FAO-Adapt serves a double purpose. First, it systemises the adaptation activities currently underway across the organisation, which serves to ensure that all efforts can move ahead toward a clear and unified goal. This, in turn, enables FAO to present a comprehensive body of work to the outside world. The document consists of five main sections: Chapter 1 introduces the background and context of FAO-Adapt; Chapter 2 discusses climate change impacts on the agriculture sectors and food security; Chapter 3 defines adaptation in the context of the agriculture sectors and describes means and measures for adaptation; Chapter 4 introduces FAO’s work on climate change adaptation with its core principles and priority adaptation themes and actions; Chapter 5 presents FAOAdapts implementation proposals.
