The Module 4 of the 2017 "National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): Building Climate Resilience into Agriculture Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)"presents different types of adaptation actions in the agriculture sector, including specific case-studies from the livestock, croplands as well as aquaculture and fisheries sub-sectors. This module offers practical exercises for learners to get acquainted with the tools and methods at their disposal for prioritizing and appraising different actions. Finally, the module provides insights into the mechanics of designing a climate change adaptation project.

The Module 3 of the 2017 "National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): Building Climate Resilience into Agriculture Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)" focuses on the importance of using the latest available information and enhancing a strong knowledge base in adaptation planning. It discusses different types and sources of information available for conducting vulnerability and climate risk assessments, and the importance of integrating different types of knowledge, introduces interactive tools and approaches for modelling climate change impact on agriculture, measuring impact and mainstreaming gender into adaptation planning. Examples for these are drawn from the Programme on Climate Information for Resilient Development in Africa (CIRDA), Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change (MOSAICC), Agriculture Stress Index System (ASIS), along with gender analysis approaches.

The Module 2 of the 2017 "National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): Building Climate Resilience into Agriculture Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)" introduces the NAP process, by presenting the LEG Technical Guidelines on NAP and the key elements of the NAP process. It highlights the importance of the NAPs’ alignment with the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This module also introduces the “Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary guidelines” developed by FAO and the NAP-Ag Programme. Country experiences from Uruguay and Zambia on integration of agriculture in NAPs are presented.

The Module 1 of the 2017 "National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): Building Climate Resilience into Agriculture Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)" highlights the interlinkages between climate change and agriculture and the importance of adaptation planning for ensuring food security and sustainable development. It features case studies and examples that highlight differentiated impacts of climate change impacts on gender in agriculture and on migration and presents key international developments (Paris Agreement, including the Nationally Determined Contributions, the 2030 Agenda and the Sendai framework, National Adaptation Plans0 and how they relate.

This synthesis report reviews the global experiences on Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA) to climate change and to disaster risk reduction. It includes results from CBD workshops on EbA & Eco DRR. It outlines opportunities and entry points for integrating EbA into adaptation planning at a local, national and regional level, with examples and case studies from different countries and agriculture sectors.  This document is useful for policymakers seeking to implement EbA activities within the framework of their NAP.

This documents outlines how social protection interventions can be used to reduce the vulnerability and strengthen resilience of households and communities. It identifies and reviews existing social protection policies, schemes and instruments with regard to their potential role in supporting the transition to sustainable natural resource management in fisheries while adapting to climate change. It examined the risks and vulnerabilites at a micro, meso and marco levels. This document is useful for policy-makers seeking examples of climate change adaption in the livelihoods of the small scale fishery sector. 

This article provides feedback on lessons learned from Senegal's NAP formulation, focusing on fisheries. It is useful for policymakers and planners, when intitiating the NAP process, so as to learn from another country's experience.

This document outlines windows of opportunities that can be used to mainstream EbA into their country's NAP. It discusses the how EbA can be included through a country's NAP formulation and implementation. It provides case studies from countries that have actively mainstreamed EbA in the agriculture sector of their NAP. It highlights how the actions needed to formulate a NAP can also be used to concurrently for EbA activities. 

This learning brief outlines examples in financing EbA measures and its similarities to financing a NAP. It presents experiences from countries showing that financing EbA projects needs to be context specific. It outlines the need for including private sector investment that is needed to have a cohesive financial strategy to promote the effective use of available financial mechanisms. This document is useful for policymakers as it draws parallels between financing a NAP and EbA activities. 

This document outlines the measuring and analyzing the benefits, costs and impacts of ecosystem based adaptation. It offers resources to guide the design and use of EbA valuation. It includes economic, social and institutional outcomes of an EbA project. It contains 40 country case studies that outline the outline different methods used for different agriculture circumstances, it can direct policy makers on setting up the monitoring and reviewing activities of EbA in their adaptation planning.
