The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is
extremely vulnerable to climate change and is also the
most gender unequal region in the world. According to the
Global Gender Gap report, the gender gap is highest in the
MENA region (60.9 percent progress toward parity), and “at
the current relative pace, it would take an estimated 142.4
years to close” (World Economic Forum, 2021: 26).
Agriculture in the MENA region is becoming increasingly
feminized, with women representing more than 50 percent

Extreme climate events such as flood, drought, and high temperature are expected to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. Mapping and characterization of food production areas at risk can help in better targeting innovations and in enhancing the resilience of affected communities.

The project Reaching Smallholder Women with Information Services and Resilience Strategies to Respond to Climate Change aimed to increase the climate resilience of poor women and men farmers in Africa south of the Sahara and South Asia — especially those in Kenya, Uganda, and India — by overcoming the gendered information gap on accessing climate-smart agricultural (CSA) approaches. The project did this through piloting participatory video-based extension on CSA approaches with more than 30,000 farmers in the three countries.

An IPCC Special Report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems.

Informe especial del IPCC sobre el cambio climático, la desertificación, la degradación de las tierras, la gestión sostenible de las tierras, la seguridad alimentaria y los flujos de gases de efecto invernadero en los ecosistemas terrestres.

This paper sets out why land expropriation is a hidden danger of the response to climate change; a danger that is not adequately captured in legislation and that risks disproportionately affecting the poor. Measures to mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change are often dependent on states’ access to land.

One year on from the Pledge announcement, this first report from the Forest Tenure Funders Group provides an overview of donor progress in 2021. The report describes how donors are working together, in dialogue with Indigenous Peoples and local community-led organisations. 

A un año del anuncio de este Compromiso, el primer informe del Grupo de financiadores de la tenencia forestal aporta un pantallazo del avance de esta colaboración en 2021. El informe describe como los donantes trabajan de forma conjunta, manteniendo el diálogo con pueblos indígenas y organizaciones lideradas por comunidades locales.

Passado um ano desde a constituição do Fundo, este primeiro relatório do Grupo de Fomento ao Manejo Florestal traz um retrato da evolução alcançada em 2021. O documento descreve o trabalho conjunto dos doadores, em diálogo com povos indígenas e organizações comunitárias locais.

Un an après l’annonce de l’Engagement, ce premier rapport du Groupe des bailleurs de fonds pour les droits de tenure forestière présente un bilan des progrès réalisés par les donateurs en 2021. Le rapport décrit la façon dont les donateurs œuvrent ensemble, en concertation avec les associations dirigées par les peuples autochtones et les communautés locales.
