Eventos

Join leaders in CSA to take stock of cutting edge CSA implementation initiatives and identify successful recipes for scaling.

Objective

To demystify climate-smart agriculture (CSA) by identifying CSA best bets and discussing proven state-of-the art approaches to design and operationalize climate-smart agriculture investment plans.

 

Overview

Agriculture is likely to be the most affected sector by the impacts of climate change. Many developing countries included agriculture and land use change as an adaptation priority and also a mitigation opportunity in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Positive climate outcomes from the agriculture sector in both areas require the identification of climate-smart, context specific and investment-ready, opportunities for farmers, investors and policy makers.

Promising climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices exist and lessons have been learnt in recent years that can support decision-making to foster the agricultural transformation needed to address climate change. However, many decision-makers still struggle identifying the best bet CSA interventions in their own context.

The objective of this side event is to demystify CSA presenting practical and cutting edge CSA prioritization processes that have proven successful in over 30 countries and used by government officials, development organizations, researchers, the private sector and civil society, in order to open up opportunities for scaling them up.
