1. The Changing Context: Impacts
ECOSYSTEMS/ ENVIRONMENTAL
PROCESSES SUSTAINING
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY(food and cash
crops, livestock and fisheries)
RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE(rural roads, storage
and processing, irrigation systems)
RURAL LIVELIHOODS (migration, labour availability, food
insecurity, conflict, forced sale of livestock and other
assets)
e.g. coastal ecosystems in Sri Lanka; rangeland ecosystems of Eastern Morocco
e.g. rice production inSierra Leone, rain-fed agriculture in Yemen, livestock sector in Mongolia (drought and Dzud)
e.g. food insecurity in Niger, rural livelihoods in the high Andes (Altiplano) in Peru.
e.g. damage to irrigation systems and other agricultural infrastructure in Viet Nam

2. Delivering Our Mandate
To maximize IFAD’s impact on rural poverty reduction in the changing context of climate change
Goal:
Purpose 1To be a leading
international institution in supporting innovative approaches to reduce
the vulnerability of poor rural communities to
climate change
Purpose 2To help partner
communities take advantage of
available mitigation incentives
Purpose 3To inform a more
joined up dialogue on
climate change, rural development,
agriculture and food security

2. Delivering Our Mandate: Adaptation
Vulnerability focus Impacts focus
(Heather McGray, WRI, 2007)
Addressing the drivers of vulnerability
Activities seek to reduce poverty and other non-climatic stressors that make people vulnerable
Building response capacity
Activities seek to build robust systems for problem solving
Managing climate risks
Activities seek to incorporate climate information into decision-making
Confronting climate change
Activities seek to address impacts associated exclusively with climate change

Climate Smart Principles
Deep integration of climate into IFAD programmes
Decentralisation of accountability for climate operations to Regional Divisions
![Page 14: IFAD’s Climate Change Strategy EB Informal Seminar 14 December 2009 Elwyn Grainger-Jones Director, Global Environment and Climate Change International](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032803/56649e205503460f94b0ca0d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Integrating Climate into IFAD Operating Model
Climate integration into COSOP, including climate assessment/proofing
Design: climate proofing, risk-mapping/vulnerability and quality control (QE/QA); implement environmental screening; develop learning notes; integrate climate in financial & economic assessment tools
Use/build on Results Management Framework; “adaptive adaptation” – build in new knowledge into project reviews
Use of RIMS & integrate climate into annual portfolio reviews
Better/more knowledge management; strengthened advocacy & communications; role of evaluation
e.g. Carbon markets, explore potential for more national/regional programmes
Sustainable policies in-house

Staffing and Partnerships
Internal HQ + in-country capacity and skills Make more use of
existing/latent skills Upskilling/training Expand our dedicated
climate capacity Deployment:
a matrix-style climate and global environment hub, with staff shared with regions
Strategy will review and deepen partnerships where this adds value: Explore deeper knowledge
