Background
The NAP-Ag Knowledge Tank aims to bring forward key tools and knowledge resources to stakeholders working in areas of climate change adaptation, resilience and disaster risk reduction in agriculture sectors (including forestry and fisheries). It is tailored, in particular, to support the formulation and implementation of NAPs and adaptation planning.
The Knowledge Tank complements the supplementary guidelines for addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in national adaptation plans which enables non-agriculture specialists to understand the issues at stake.
Key features of the Knowledge Tank:
- Provides resources to users on how to formulate and implements NAPs addressing the agriculture sectors;
- Supports alignment to countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) regarding adaptation commitments;
- Features a wide range of up-to-date tools and knowledge resources, such as articles, methods, platforms, case studies, learning materials, videos and other knowledge materials, from FAO and other international agencies and programmes, such as UNDP, IFAD, WFP, GIZ, CCAFS and World Bank.
The Knowledge Tank complements other databases and platforms, such as FAO’s TECA platform which covers technologies and practices for smallholder agricultural producers, UNDP’s website and knowledge-sharing platform, the AdaptationCommunity.net, the NAP Global Network; UNEP’s Global Adaptation Network (GAN), the EbA solution portal.
