This is the first project of its kind to be implemented in the Sultanate of Oman aimed at conducting studies, raising awareness and developing solutions to key climate change threats to the country’s agriculture and water sectors, such as sea water intrusion into aquifers and increasing water scarcity.

Greenhouse gas emissions from agri-food sectors represent around 34 percent of the total. But agriculture is also one of the areas most affected by climate change. So it is in a unique position to offer solutions...

A common understanding is taking root: The way we produce food mirrors our relationship with each other and nature. But when we zoom in on today’s agri-food systems, we see the cracks in our relationship with nature. Unsustainable agriculture is a major driver of climate change; at the same time, climate change threatens food production in some of the world’s poorest areas. So how do we fix the system?

Countries grappling with the impacts of climate change coupled with the socio-economic fallout that resulted from the pandemic are seeking ways to rebuild their economies, promote green growth and increase resilience to climate shocks. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has secured USD 1.8 million in GCF grants...

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognizes that Indigenous Peoples offer game-changing solutions in the race to net zero. Currently, agri-food systems account for about one-third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions...

Land is our lifeblood. About 95 percent of our food is either directly or indirectly produced on land, yet desertification and drought threaten to dry out fertile soils and leave millions food insecure... 

Key actors in the climate finance and international development arena joined together on 20 May 2021 to discuss the climate change-related challenges African countries face, and the opportunities to access Green Climate Fund (GCF) resources for mitigation and adaptation projects...

Meeting the climate challenge starts with transforming food and agriculture. Here are four FAO-led Green Climate Fund projects tackling climate change head-on...

Agriculture is the world’s largest user of freshwater and rainwater, accounting for more than 70 percent of global withdrawals. Yet, sustainable agriculture offers a solution...

Did you know that you can eat chocolate and fight climate change too? Cocoa that is produced sustainably under dense and diverse tropical forest canopies can help developing countries lower their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and achieve their climate goals...
