Advancing Climate-Smart Agriculture through RAS in NENA: Scalable Solutions & Actionable Pathways

Agriculture in the NENA region is increasingly affected by climate change, with growing challenges related to water scarcity, land degradation, and climate variability.

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) offers practical solutions to enhance productivity, strengthen resilience, and promote sustainability. In this context, Rural Advisory Services (RAS) play a key role in supporting farmers by facilitating access to knowledge, innovations, and climate-informed decision-making.

This webinar will bring together policymakers, researchers, practitioners, development partners, and farmer organizations to:

• Showcase scalable CSA practices and technologies
• Explore the role of RAS in accelerating CSA adoption
• Identify actionable pathways and policy recommendations for scaling CSA across the region

📅 Date: Thursday, 30 April 2026

Simultaneous interpretation will be available in Arabic, English and French.
