Adaptation in action

FAO-Adapt consolidates FAO’s multidisciplinary expertise on climate change adaptation. Through this Organization-wide framework, FAO provides countries with best practices, key principles and priority themes on which member nations can focus adaptation efforts in agriculture and food security. Since launching FAO-Adapt in June 2011, the Organization has: developed and implemented new, adaptation-focused projects and programmes; and enhanced FAO’s own capacity to deliver adaptation support to member countries. FAO-Adapt also promotes synergies between adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development activities. As additional needs emerge, FAO-Adapt will continue to evolve in order to best leverage the Organization’s climate change expertise.
