The e-learning tool 'Planning for Community Based Adaptation (CBA) to Climate Change' supports training on community-based climate change adaptation in agriculture. The tool links research-based knowledge on climate change impacts with examples and experiences on CBA drawn from FAO field projects and a range of country-specific case studies. The intended outcoume of the tool is to assist all actors, who face the challenge of initiating and facilitating adaptation processes at community level.
This submission is made with a view to making available, to Parties, work undertaken in other intergovernmental processes. FAO and IFAD would like to draw attention to the Declaration adopted by the High-Level Conference on World Food Security: the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy (HLC). Also covered in this submission are related issues concerning financing of climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sectors that were highlighted in the context of the High-Level Conference, attended by a large number of Heads of State and Government. These issues are largely drawn from the HLC background document Financial Mechanisms for Adaptation to and Mitigation of Climate Change in the Food and Agriculture sectors (http://www.fao.org/tempref/docrep/fao/meeting/013/k2396e.pdfhyperlink), jointly prepared by FAO and IFAD. At the heart of these issues is the message that agriculture and forestry – the land use sectors – have significant potential for climate change mitigation, but to realize this potential, financing/incentive mechanisms need to target better these sectors and reach small-scale land users.
