| dc.description | Agriculture suffers more than 26 percent of the damage and loss caused by climate-related disasters, disproportionately affecting the poorest and most vulnerable, three-quarters of whom rely on agriculture or natural resources for their livelihoods. A single major natural disaster can undermine years of development work and climate change can have major long-term repercussions. On the flip side, agricultural sectors are often unsustainable, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and degrading the natural resource base. FAO has developed a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes while adapting and building resilience to climate change, and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions. The approach has been widely adopted internationally and is key to achieving Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commitments as well as SDG targets. Building on successful on-the-ground implementation, policy commitments and partnerships, this initiative will scale up and strengthen CSA through the concerted integration of disaster risk-reduction and management interventions, and through greater consideration of social aspects (in particular, gender-related responses and social protection). Such an approach will allow the identification of interventions that optimize SDG synergies and reduce social and environmental trade-offs. | |
