Agriculture

• Highly vulnerable to climate impacts

• 30-60% of GDP and

• 60-80% of labor force in developing countries

• Adaptation crucial for food security and livelihoods

Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Agricultural Technology & Training

Solar Water Pumps

Drip Irrigation

• Technology demonstrations – irrigation systems, solar water pumps

• Climate-smart agriculture practices – water efficiency, soil management, climate-resilient inputs, drought management

• Capacity building – commercialization support, extension services, risk management tools

Seed Purification

Efficient Water Use

• Climate change modeling & scenarios, risk assessment, analytical tools, CBA, meteorological services & EWS

• Weather and climate information for agricultural planning

• Dissemination – community radio stations, mobile phones

• Farmer training including collection of climate data

Information & Data for Response and Planning

Climate Information

Market Access and Linkages

Market Development

• Value-chain analyses/market mapping - linkages

• Value-addition – post-harvest processing, packaging, marketing, certification & standards, access to markets

• Enterprise development – MSEs/Agri-businesses

• Connecting farmers to retailers/export markets

• Support for industry

associations/cooperatives

• Co-venturing – shared value creation

• Connect farmers with upstream value-

chain actors; Supply chain resilience

• Public private partnerships

Stakeholder Mobilization

Partnerships

Policy De-Risking :

• Climate information & risk management

• Integrated planning, regulatory and fiscal incentives, subsidy reforms

Financial De-Risking :

• Risk transfer (insurance, guarantees), risk compensation (grants, seed capital, concessional loans)

Enabling Environment

‘De-Risking’ – Policy and Financial Instruments

Vegetable Gardening Bangladesh (LDCF) Increases household food supply

and income

Drought Management Mali (LDCF, Canada) Weather forecasts and climate projections help

farmers adjust farm practices to changing climate—

i.e. adjust planting times and crop types

Resilient Seed Laos (LDCF) Drought and flood resilient seed

varieties increase crop yields—farmer’s

rice profits increased 78% in Laos

Examples: Agricultural Technology and Training

Market Development Tajikistan (SPA) Packaging, certification and labeling standards

increase market appeal—from local

supermarkets to export to international markets

(mulberry)

Value Added Mali (LDCF, Canada) Farmers trained in processing to increase

monetary returns from agricultural products

Partnerships Zimbabwe (SCCF) Connect farmers with

retailers—resilient value-chain

i.e. brewery connect with

farmers for red sorghum

Examples: Partnerships and Market Development

Risk Transfer / Insurance Sudan, Philippines (LDCF, SCCF) Weather Index Based Insurance covers rice and corn

farmers against low and excess rainfall

Financing / Micro-

Credit Djibouti (LDCF) Access to affordable credit facilitates

investment in adaptation strategies—

i.e. livestock, irrigation

Examples: Policy and Financial Instruments

Policy / Planning Cambodia (LDCF) Mainstreaming at sub-national levels: Supporting CCA mainstreaming into Community Development Plan and Commune Investment Plan

Strengthen Policies, Institutions, Capacities and Knowledge

Supporting the NAP Process: Foundation for integrating climate into

medium- and long-term planning

Global Initiatives

SCALING UP – Towards Transformative Change

Barriers to Scale

Opportunity Cost

MFIs Absent

Financial Illiteracy Cost of Capital

Extension Support

Supply Chain Constraints

High Upfront Costs of Technology

Systemic barriers for market entry and business scale-up related to the lack of enabling environment, capacity constraints, and limited access to finance

Moving from Demonstration to Scale

Replication & Expansion

Innovative Business Models

Markets & Value Chains

Pathways to Scale

Examples of Combinations of Replication and Multiplier Effects Leading to Enhanced Private Sector Investment in Adaptation

Early support reduces incremental costs of replication

Demonstrated success eases entry barriers for others

Replication and expansion leads to

“economies of scale”

Scaling expands markets and leads to new adopters

SCALE THROUGH REPLICATION AND MULTIPLIER EFECTS ENHANCED

INVESTMENT IN ADAPTATION

Innovation creates opportunities for new business and

livelihoods

Spill-over effects spur extended value-

chains and market development

Adopters increase resilience and

stabilize income

Enhanced capital for income diversification

and livelihood development
