Projects and initiatives

Objective: FAO and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are co-leading a new 5-year programme called Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans (SCALA), funded by the German Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI).

SCALA responds to the urgent need for increased action to cope with climate change impacts in the agriculture and land use sectors. The joint UNDP-FAO Programme main goals are:

 

• Enhanced capacity to identify and appraise innovative and transformative climate-sensitive agriculture and land use actions into NDCs; 

 

• Strengthened national and sectoral plans and budgets to integrate agriculture and land use sectors’ climate-related priorities;
