Summary:
Food security and climate change can be addressed together by transforming agriculture and adopting practices that are "climate-smart". A number of production systems are already being used by farmers and food producers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change, and reduce vulnerability. This website provides examples of many of these production systems considered as "climate-smart" and will be constantly updated to highlight additional examples and lessons learned from around the world.

Summary text
Adaptation Experience:
Results and Learning:
Participated in Project Inception Workshop and meetings with the Agence pour la Protection et l Amenagement du Littoral (APAL), and Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) delegation * The project can benefit by clearer and more cohesive restructuring of project results, activities, indicators, and budgets. Critical path issues need to be addressed to ensure timely delivery of outputs. * The project is making efforts to accelerate project delivery through more distributed and flexible project execution. This entails building strategic and operation partnerships with a number of catalytic organizations. APAL plans to develop a thorough Project Stakeholder Involvement Plan and Partnership Strategy, which will outline in more detail the overall division of roles and responsibilities within the consortium. * APAL will analyse the issue concering linkages between AAP Tunisia project and the UNDP Territorial Approach to Climate Change (TACC) * Priority needs include (to be carried out by UNDP and ALAP): development of territorial climate adaptation and shoreline management plans in context of ICZM and possibly the TACC economic assessments and cost of climate change impacts on coastal zones soft techniques for coastal ecosystems restoration and sand dunes stabilization design of innovative financing mechanisms such as index-based weather insurance and adaptation-oriented Payment for Ecosystem Services
Sustainability:
- There is a high risk of duplication and redundancies with existing initiatives in a number of areas. APAL plans to monitors this aspect and invests time in stakeholder consultations to build partnerships. This will help to identify overlaps and synergies with other projects.
Replication:
- APAL plans to align the AAP project with their previous/on-going initiatives, particularly with an earlier UNDP-GEF project on conservation of coastal ecosystems (MedWetCoast). Findings from this project provides and extremely valuable guide for the AAP project. It is crucial that the MWC evaluation outcomes and recommendations are revisited by APAL.
