ProjectBuilding Disaster and Climate Resilience of Agriculture Sector to Achieve The SDGs in Asia - TCP/RAS/3703 2023

No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognizes the need for more resilient food and agriculture systems in its Strategy on Climate Change to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and end hunger and poverty. The agriculture sector is facing increasing risks due to climate change, natural disasters and food chain crises, which put pressure on the sector facing multiple challenges of land use changes, urbanization and market forces. Nearly all FAO Members in the Asia and the Pacific region have a priority area or country outcome on resilience to disasters and climate change, as recognized in their Country Programme Frameworks. However, vulnerability and risk assessment (VRA) in the agriculture sector is still limited globally due to constraints such as the lack of standard tools and capacity and poor management of agriculture disaster damage and loss (D&L). The regional conference on "Strengthening resilient food and agriculture systems" highlighted the urgent need for standard VRA tools for all agricultural subsectors to understand the underlying risk factors, both within and outside the agriculture sector. FAO has developed the methodology for evaluating agriculture disaster D&L, covering all four agricultural sub-sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries/aquaculture and forestry). However, D&L data is often collected on an ad-hoc basis without standardized templates, methods and information management systems. Relevant and good quality data and statistics are critical to measuring the impacts and costs of disasters, anticipating future risks and establishing development goals addressing these risks. All FAO Members in the region of Asia and the Pacific have committed to monitoring and reporting on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. Technical support is required not only to build capacity to apply D&L assessment methodology but also to ensure an institutional approach in strengthening agriculture D&L information management. Such an approach will bring together agriculture sectors and also National Statistics Office, National Disaster Management Agencies and other stakeholders to systematically improve agriculture D&L data, information and management system. To this end, Cambodia, the The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mongolia and Timor-Leste requested technical support to apply the FAO D&L methodology. -

No results found.The purpose of the regional Workshop on Climate Change, Disasters and Crises in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector in Southern and Eastern Africa was to determine the gaps in adaptation and disaster risk management strategies, policies and activities that aim to assist fishers, fish farmers, fish workers and the communities they live in to improve their resilience to the impacts of disasters and climate change, and to identify ways to address these gaps based on the experience of the participa nts. The workshop was the second of two; the first focused on West and Central Africa. Together, they form part of the consultative process of Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). The workshop addressed three main questions with respect to the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the impacts of disasters and climate change: -- what are the effects and vulnerabilities of climate change and disasters to the sector? -- what has the sector done to adapt (and what can we learn from thi s)? -- what else can be done (and how) to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience, and how do we prioritize action to adapt to climate change and strengthen resilience? The workshop recommended disaster risk reduction and adaptation actions at the local, national and regional levels based on practical experiences and examples of actions that have worked, or not worked, in the past. The workshop outputs will be used to complement the mapping and gap-analysis paper that will, in turn, contr ibute to a work plan for Component C of the NFFP. The combined findings of this workshop and the mapping and gap analysis will be well placed to feed into the pan- African process of elaborating a comprehensive fisheries reform strategy and ensuring that climate change and disaster impacts are addressed for the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -

The workshop was the first of two; the second will focus on Southern and Eastern Africa. Together they form part of the consultative process of Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). The workshop addressed three main questions in respect to the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the impacts of disasters and climate change: (i) what are the impacts on and the vulnerabilities of the sector, (ii) how has the sector adapted and w hat can we learn from this, and (iii) what else can be done (and how) to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience? The workshop recommended adaptation actions at local, national and regional levels based on practical experiences and examples of actions that have worked or not in the past. The workshop outputs will be used to complement the mapping and gap-analysis paper towards a work plan for Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP).The combined findings of this workshop, the forthcoming workshop for Southern and Eastern Africa and the mapping and gap analysis will be well placed to feed into the pan African process of elaborating a comprehensive fisheries reform strategy and ensuring that climate change and disaster impacts are addressed for the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
