FAO GEF Experiences and New Initiatives in Climate Resilience
FAO's involvement in GEF projects such as SAMIS and CAWA focuses on enhancing climate resilience in wetland areas through innovative approaches like climate-smart agriculture. The ongoing projects aim to reduce vulnerability to climate change and integrate adaptation measures into local planning processes, benefiting communities and ecosystems. Additionally, the new GEF-7 initiatives in Lao PDR prioritize climate-smart alternatives for upland production systems and capacity building for implementing CSA practices.

FAO on-going GEF project experiences CAWA: Climate Change Adaptation in Wetlands Areas Objective: Reduce climate change vulnerability of local communities and fragile wetland ecosystems in 2 Ramsar-designated wetlands Focus areas Components Improved understanding of climate change impacts and risks in Xe Champhone and Beung Kiat Ngong wetlands 1 2 Efficient and cost-effective adaptation measures Integration of climate change adaptation and disaster management measures into planning processes 3 CAWA Head Office Project Target (Ramsar) Site
New initiatives: GEF-7 & related focal areas Climate Smart Agriculture Climate Smart Agriculture alternatives for upland production systems in Lao PDR GEF Agency: FAO Executing Agency: MAF (DOF, DALAM, etc.) GEF focal area: Climate change Project fund: US$12.8M (GEF: US$5.5M - LDCF) Target: Central government & North (Luang Prabang, Huaphanh)
New initiatives: GEF-7 & related focal areas Project components Project components Components Outcomes Climate change adaptation (CCA) mainstreamed into policies & regulations multi-sector & coordination, CSA guidelines and action plans in 8 provinces Capacity building of sub-national level planners and decision-makers on CCA planning Target 1: Enabling environment for Climate Smart land use approaches National 2: Integrate climate smart into land use planning Province, District, Village CCA planning tools, data, guidance and training 3: Enhance capacity and incentives for implementing Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Increased options, incentives & capacities of vulnerable communities to adopt CSA Climate vulnerability & risk assessments, CSA livelihood options & techniques, microfinance, early warning systems Farmers, Field extension agents 4: M&E, and Knowledge Management Project knowledge managed, disseminated, and M&E conducted

New initiatives: GEF-7 & related focal areas Healthy Upland Lao Agroecosystems Child project under Chemicals and Waste Impact Programme Potential to leverage LDCF funding (CSA upland project) Target sites: Luangprabang Province, Huaphan Province etc. Activities: 1. Strengthening enabling environment to reduce use of agricultural chemicals 2. Wider adoption of measures for biodiversity and sustainable land management land-use and investment plans 3. Promotion of sustainable agriculture product value chains
