Storyline

With the negative impacts of climate change becoming more frequent and severe, including devastating droughts and floods affecting the poorest rural communities in the Horn of Africa, Pakistan, and most recently Nigeria, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is calling for urgent and increased financing to support hundreds of millions of small-scale farmers, who are essential to global food security, adapt to climate change.

IFAD has been investing in helping small-scale farmers adapt to climate change for more than a decade. Between 2019-2021, IFAD committed US $1.2 billion in climate finance, most of it for adaptation activities through its regular programming and ASAP+, a multimillion-dollar climate adaptation fund for small-scale farmers.
