FAO's Framework Programme on Climate Change Adaptation (FAO-Adapt)
Summary:
FAO-Adapt is an organization-wide framework programme that provides general guidance and introduces principles as well as priority themes, actions and implementation support to FAO’s activities for climate change adaptation. With this cohesive, organization-wide framework, FAO-Adapt can provide a clear picture of the need for, the application and the outcome of FAO adaptation activities as it seeks support for both the short-term and long-term responses.
FAO-Adapt offers an initial consensus and comprehensive view of the way forward for FAO-Adaptmainstreaming climate change adaptation into all FAO development activities and contribute to heading off negative climate impacts. FAO-Adapt catalyses FAO’s adaptation activities to increase its ability to respond to member country requests for support in implementing climate change adaptation measures in agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
FAO-Adapt brings together the body of climate change adaptation work accomplished by FAO, its technical units, decentralized offices and regional bodies. FAO-Adapt aims to enhance coordination, capacity development and sharing of experiences on adaptation within FAO and among its member countries to widen the coverage, encourage synergies, enhance cross-sectoral approaches and optimize the use of resources for adaptation. FAO-Adapt facilitates external and internal communication as well as mobilization of additional resources for FAO’s work on adaptation. FAO-Adapt fosters partnerships related to adaptation, including UN agencies, international financing and research institutions, and regional organizations.
