DRM Webinar I: Governing and managing disaster risk in the agriculture sectorFAO
Over the past decade, economic damages resulting from natural hazards have amounted to USD 1.5 trillion caused by geophysical hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides, as well as hydro-meteorological hazards, including storms, floods, droughts and wild fires. Climate-related disasters, in particular, are increasing worldwide and expected to intensify with climate change. They disproportionately affect food insecure, poor people – over 75 percent of whom derive their livelihoods from agriculture. Agricultural livelihoods can only be protected from multiple hazards if adequate disaster risk reduction and management efforts are strengthened within and across sectors, anchored in the context-specific needs of local livelihoods systems.
This series of three webinars on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRR/M) in agriculture is organized to:
1. Discuss the new opportunities and pressing challenges in reducing and managing disaster risk in agriculture;
2. Learn and share experiences about disaster risk reduction and management good practices based on concrete examples from the field; discuss how to create evidence and conditions for upscaling of good practices; and
3. Exchange experiences and knowledge with partners around resilience to natural hazards and climate-related disasters.
The webinar covers:
• Institutional capacity development for DRM for resilience, food security and nutrition
• Mainstreaming DRM in agriculture sector planning
• Linking planning and capacity development for DRM, resilience and climate change adaptation (CCA)

Uganda - Addressing agricultural resilience in long term climate planning ins...UNDP Climate
The landscape of climate planning instruments available to countries under the UNFCCC process includes National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long Term Strategies (LTS). These instruments have emerged at different milestones such as the Cancun Adaptation Framework and the Paris Agreement and have specific characteristics and objectives which can contribute to and reinforce each other if leveraged effectively. Despite their very distinctive nature, these national instruments can be harnessed to scale up climate change adaptation by fostering linkages depending upon country context.
Addressing climate resilience in sectors and across sectors is a vital part of climate planning. Adaptation in agriculture is a crucial component of building resilient economies and societies and is national priority for a significant number of countries. It is well established that agricultural sectors are amongst the most climate sensitive. Over 90 percent of developing countries’ NDCs refer to agriculture as a major priority.
The juxtaposition of the range of climate planning instruments on one hand, and the sensitivity of agriculture on the other requires that all instruments be linked, sequenced and aligned appropriately by countries to best fit their national circumstances.
The webinar will draw upon country-level experiences from NAP-Ag partner countries to highlight entry points for alignment and strategies to trigger this conversation.
Webinar highlights
Unpacking the characteristics of NAPs, NDCs and LTS.
Exploring steps being taken by ministries of agriculture, ministries of environment, water and finance to leverage these instruments to scale up climate adaptation in agriculture.
Identifying what linkages are already being fostered between NAPs, NDCs and LTS and the key considerations in advancing climate change adaptation in agriculture.
National adaptation planning (NAP) processes and EbAExternalEvents
The NAP-Ag webinar on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and National Adaptation Planning: Opportunities for the Agricultural Sectors will provide an overview of how EbA can be effectively integrated into agriculture sectors’ adaptation strategies and broader national adaptation planning processes. The webinar will focus on mainstreaming EbA in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). Both global presentations and a presentation from Thailand and Nepal, a NAP-Ag partner country will outline opportunities, experiences and approaches in mainstreaming EbA into adaptation policy planning processes and strategies at different scales. This slideshow was presented by Ninni Ikkala Nyman
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems for National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes are essential for countries to track, assess and learn from their progress on adaptation. MEL systems can help countries to understand the effectiveness of their NAP processes, support mutual accountability and transparency to stakeholders, and contribute to learning to accelerate adaptation actions.

17. Why discuss agriculture integration
Agriculture an overwhelming priority
•Adaptation and mitigation actions in agricultural sectors
included in 94% of all countries
Ag sectors are the foremost priority for adaptation.
•130 of 188 countries include an adaptation section.
•95% refer to crops and livestock
•83% refer to forests
•46% refer to fisheries and aquaculture.
Countries highlight the vulnerability of agriculture
sectors to CC
•90% mention ag sector
•60% mention freshwater resources Source: FAO, 2016

20. National Planning Process and NAP
Overview
• NAP process fits with
the broader national
development process
• Sector planning
processes support
national and local
actions
• Sector integration is
about finding entry
points for sector specific
adaptation actions
21. Identifying Entry Points for Sector Integration
Entry Points
• Policies, plans,
procedures,
regulations that
can may be
relevant for
adaptation
• Action targeted at
entry points
encourages a
systematic
approach to
adaptation
planning
22. Identifying Entry Points for Sector Integration
Key Questions
•What is the policy context?
•Is there a sector climate change or
adaptation policy?
•Is there a sector focal point agency for
climate change adaptation planning?
•Which government Ministries and
Departments should be consulted?
•Is there a national budget allocation at the
sector level for adaptation?
•What are the key sector vulnerabilities?
•Where should adaptation efforts be
targeted?
•Are there sector quality standards or
guidelines e.g. SEA, EIA, etc
