4 Climate-smart Agriculture Sourcebook Section A: The importance of Agriculture and the case for climate smart agriculture, adoption of a landscape approach Section B: Improved technologies and approaches for sustainable farm management (9 Modules) Section C: Enabling frameworks (targeted to policy makers), institutional, policy and finance frameworks, links to DRM, safety nets and role of capacity development and vulnerability assessment and monitoring

5 Tools support all elements of NAP process Supports engagement of Agriculture and food security sectors in the NAP process (Element A) Tools to support identification and assessment of development and vulnerability needs (Element A, B) Supports identification of data sources and information for the Agriculture sector (Element B) Capacity development tools help identify and address capacity development gaps and weaknesses in the Agriculture and food security sector (Element B and C)

6 Selected FAO tools Many others including for fisheries and aquaculture, forestry, livestock

7 Climpag- portal..brings together the various aspects and interactions between weather, climate and agriculture in the general context of food security...online data for a better analysis of the effects of climate change on agriculture

8 FAO Rain Fall Estimate (FAO-RFE) FAO-RFE offers 10-day and monthly rainfall totals for whole of Africa and for four regions. 8

9 Examples: Local Climate Estimate Tool (FAOCLIM) Updated version of FAOCLIM database of almost stations worldwide 9

10 MOSAICC Modeling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change Economic impact and analysis of policy response at national level Simulation of the country s hydrology and estimation of water resources Crop yield projections under climate scenarios (WABAL and AQUACROP) Statistical downscaling of climate scenarios over weather stations networks (AR4 and AR5 data available) Supporting LDCs to advance their National Adaptation 10 Plans

11 MOSAICC Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change 4 disciplines (climate, hydrology, crops, economics) 1 database 1 server 1 set of interfaces

12 Emissions Agriculture: 2014 Launch: the FAOSTAT Emissions Agriculture database provides country-level estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on FAOSTAT activity Emissions by country (CO2 equivalent), Average

16 Planning for Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change Planning for Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change E-learning Tool Target audience: development partners, agricultural extension staff, community based organizations and field practitioners Objective: A training and self learning tool to support awareness raising and capacity building on Planning for adaptation to climate change in agricultural sectors Successfully tested in Nepal, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Senegal, Sudan, and the Philippines Freely available at

17 DRM and early warning frameworks and tools

18 Disaster risk reduction FAO DRR Framework Programme 1/ ENABLE THE ENVIRONMENT: Institutional strengthening & good governance for DRR in agricultural sectors. 4/ BUILD RESILIENCE: Prevention, mitigation and building resilience with technologies, approaches & practices across all agricultural sectors. Four Integrated Thematic Pillars 2/ WATCH TO SAFEGUARD: Information and early warning systems on food & nutrition security and trans-boundary threats. 3/ PREPARE TO RESPOND: Preparedness for effective response & recovery in agriculture, livestock, fisheries & forestry. CROSS-CUTTING PRIORITIES Knowledge, innovation & education to build a culture of resilience

19 Food security and other tools (all with partners) Global information and early warning system GIEWS ( Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) ( EMPRES (Animal and plant health and (
