The report underscores the pivotal role of women in agrifood systems globally, often serving as the backbone of employment and livelihoods, particularly in developing nations. Despite increasing recognition in climate plans, women still encounter marginalization and vulnerability in agriculture, facing low-skilled and informal work. Addressing this necessitates integrating gender considerations into policies, alongside collecting sex-disaggregated data for informed decision-making. The FAO–UNDP SCALA Programme exemplifies such efforts, with initiatives in Colombia, Uganda, and Cambodia showcasing tailored interventions to enhance gender equality and social inclusion in agrifood systems adaptation. Through collaborative action, these programs empower women and marginalized groups, fostering resilience and sustainability amidst climate challenges, thus promoting fairness and unlocking the full potential of all stakeholders for a more equitable future.
