The 2019 Spring floods and the heavy rainfalls of January 2020 in the Islamic Republic of Iran severely affected the large areas of the country, especially in four provinces of Lorestan, Khuzestan, Golestan, and Sistan, and Baluchistan. The floods caused tremendous damages and losses to the agriculture sector of the country, including severe effects on the land and water resources of the provinces mentioned above. Due to the mentioned damages, imposed challenges caused by the floods and In response to the request of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is implementing a Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project to assist the country in rehabilitating the soil and water resources and enhancing the resilience of agriculture system and rural communities against climate change and climatic disasters.
To enhance the knowledge base and support the uptake of good practices for ongoing work on adaptation planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of best adaptation practices, FAO organized a series of webinar sessions on “Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in the Agriculture Sector” in 2017 and 2018. This document serves to outline the priority nature-based interventions for adaptation in the food and agriculture sector as articulated in countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs), and as illustrated through the best case practices showcased during the EbA webinar series.
Proteger la salud de los animales para ayudar a reducir los efectos de nuestro cambiante clima sobre el hambre y la pobreza
La ganadería es el medio de subsistencia de más de 750 millones de personas de entre las más pobres del mundo. En este folleto se argumenta que la mejora de la sanidad animal debe ser una parte fundamental de las estrategias orientadas a la seguridad alimentaria y al desarrollo sostenible en el contexto del cambio climático.
En primer lugar, para reducir las repercusiones del cambio climático sobre la sanidad animal y la propagación de patógenos, ya que la mayoría de las enfermedades emergentes tiene origen animal. En segundo lugar, para mitigar los efectos del cambio climático, ya que los animales con mejor estado de salud son más productivos y generan menos emisiones por peso de producto. En tercer lugar, para adaptarse a los cambios en el clima, puesto que los animales son más resilientes que los cultivos a la hora de adaptarse a condiciones extremas y soportar choques climáticos.
The objective of the toolkit is to help countries in selecting and analysing value chains for opportunities to improve climate change resilience and reduce gender inequalities; and subsequently help in identifying and prioritizing investments to promote market development in line with these opportunities.
