  4. WORLD FOOD PROGRAMMEKey areas of CCA work in support to Governments and communities • Prepare for and respond to climate related disasters and emergencies • Enhance livelihoods protection and help mitigate risks on the most vulnerable • Scale up community-based projects to reduce vulnerability, and enhance food security and overall resilience • Capacity development, knowledge sharing and systems development

  5. Haiti • Among Govt main partners in the National Disaster Risk Reduction Program • Leading preparedness work and vulnerability analysis • Targeted activities to rehabilitate agricultural land in response to the last severe hurricane damage. • Emergency response interventions to avoid deterioration of the nutritional status of beneficiaries.

  6. Ethiopia - MERET • Managing Environmental Resources to Enable Transitions to more sustainable livelihoods (MERET) • Government owned • Diversifying livelihoods, building resilience, enhancing land productivity • “Where there is MERET there is no hunger” Slide 6

  7. Bangladesh • Strengthening national disaster management systems • Developing climate proof assets and infrastructure • Focusing on food security, social protection and health of the most vulnerable

  8. KENYA • Supporting efficient resource management in fragile ecosystems/environments. • Livelihoods protection for the promotion of long-term sustainable food security.

  9. Innovative DRR/EPR tools and mechanisms • Risk transfer mechanism • Index insurance (Ethiopia, China) • VAM + disaster risk • Multi-hazard EW

  10. In conclusion • CC is a risk multiplier/accelerator affecting global food security and hunger • Continuity - CC adaptation can build on DRR/EPR work • CC awareness reinforces the need for robust preparedness and CCA/DRR/EPR mainstreaming
