Access to climate finance
At a time where climate finance in the agriculture and land use sector is urgently needed, FAO is committed to supporting countries to unlock their growth potential and promote climate action for more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems.
FAO supports countries with access to finance through several funding channels including the Green Climate Fund, Global Environment Facility and Adaptation Fund, and through bilateral funding and support setting up carbon projects.
FAO draws on its strong field presence and in-depth understanding of policies and procedures to assist countries with the development and implementation of hundreds of country-led projects on adaptation, climate-smart agriculture, combatting land and forest degradation, sustainable forest management and disaster risk reduction helping them turn their climate ambitions into actions.

Climate-related development finance to agrifood systems
10/12/2023
The amount of climate finance flowing to agrifood systems is strikingly low and continues to diminish vis-à-vis global climate finance flows. Agriculture is one of the sectors with the highest adaptation finance needs for implementing the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) but climate finance for adaptation is also on a downward trend. The diminishing trends of both agrifood and adaptation investments is a cause for alarm and a missed opportunity.
