Emergency and climate crisis response

FAO collaborates with private sector partners to strengthen responses to food crises, natural disasters and climate-related emergencies, while building the resilience of agrifood systems and vulnerable communities. These partnerships support emergency food assistance, resilient supply chains and improved logistics and distribution networks, alongside in-kind contributions such as equipment, transportation, storage facilities and technical expertise that enhance the speed and effectiveness of crisis response efforts. Collaboration also focuses on strengthening resilience across the humanitarian–development–peace nexus through climate-adaptive solutions, disaster risk reduction and long-term interventions that address climate-induced food insecurity. Through these efforts, FAO and its partners support agricultural communities in preparing for and responding to challenges such as droughts, floods, transboundary animal diseases and locust outbreaks.
