Adaptation Planning

The proposal seeks USD 685,000 over 36 months to reduce climate vulnerability in Moldova's agriculture sector. It aims to establish gender-responsive governance, conduct impact analyses and crop simulation modelling, identify technology needs, and develop community-based adaptation action plans. The project will be implemented by the FAO in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment (MARDE) and will complement the broader National Adaptation Plan (NAP-2) process.

• Moldova's agriculture sector is highly vulnerable to climate change, with average temperatures increasing by more than 1.0C over the last 127 years and a trend toward hotter, drier conditions with more variable precipitation.
• Severe droughts have caused significant economic losses in Moldova; for example, a 1994 drought led to a 30 percent decline in GDP and a 26 percent drop in agricultural output, while a 2007 drought caused losses totaling 1 billion USD.
• The project identifies several systemic barriers to adaptation in the agriculture sector, including a lack of sector-specific institutional arrangements, fragmented knowledge management, outdated technology assessments, and limited capacity at the community level.
• The proposed intervention includes the development of a gender-sensitive agriculture-specific impact analysis and a web-based interface crop simulation model integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to inform regional planning.
• The project aims to develop a Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Technology Framework, which includes a Technology Needs Assessment and a Technology Action Plan for the top three prioritized technologies in the sector.
• A key objective is to create community-based adaptation action plans for six rural villages and apply climate budget tagging (CBT) procedures in six priority municipalities to ensure financial sustainability.
• The project will establish an agriculture sector Community of Practices (CoP) within the MARDE platform to facilitate the exchange of climate-smart agricultural practices and success stories.
• The proposal seeks to update the agriculture sector CCA investment plan and explore the feasibility of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to support the implementation of adaptation technologies.
