Advancing Climate Compatible Development (CCD) for Food Security through the Implementation of National Climate Change Strategies

The document evaluates Honduras' National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS), highlighting its focus on reducing climatic vulnerability through a participatory framework involving over 60 institutions. While the NCCS identifies agriculture, soil, and food security as a priority sector, stakeholders report that implementation is in its early stages due to institutional, knowledge, and financial barriers. The report emphasizes the need for a territorial approach via Regional Development Councils to better integrate climate-compatible agricultural practices and access international finance.

• Honduras faces significant climatic threats, including droughts, cyclones, and the El Niño South Oscillation, with temperatures increasing by 0.7 to 1 °C over the last three decades, which threatens agricultural productivity and food security for poor populations.
• The National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS), developed between 2009 and 2010, focuses on seven priority sectors: water resources, agriculture, soil and food security, forests and biodiversity, coastal marine systems, human health, and risk management, as well as hydropower.
