Update of the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock Sector

The proposal seeks USD 499,695 over 24 months to update Chile's expired 2013-2017 adaptation plan for the forestry, agriculture, and livestock sectors. Implemented by the FAO, the project aims to establish sub-national governance, identify new adaptation measures through a multi-stakeholder process, align the plan with national development policies, develop a private-sector-focused finance strategy, and create a monitoring and evaluation system. The process emphasizes the inclusion of women and Indigenous Peoples, targeting a minimum of 30% participation in workshops.

• The previous Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Forestry, Agriculture, and Livestock Sector (2013-2017) achieved a 72% implementation rate across 21 measures, but has since expired.
• Internal assessments of the previous plan identified three primary gaps: a lack of an investment plan and resource mobilization strategy, an absence of goals and achievement indicators, and severe weaknesses in stakeholder participation.
• Climate projections for Chile between 2031 and 2050 indicate a drier trend compared to historical means, which is expected to cause desertification in most agricultural regions and a southward displacement of fruit crops and forestry.
• The forestry, agriculture, and livestock sector is strategically vital to Chile, representing approximately 3% of the GDP (extending to 7.31% when including related activities) and 9.2% of the economically active labor force.
• The proposed project aims to establish a sub-national governance structure by creating 16 Regional Technical Focal Points (RTFP) based within MINAGRI institutions to coordinate adaptation planning across Chile's 16 regions.
• To ensure inclusivity, the project mandates a minimum participation rate of 30% for women in workshops and includes a specific focus on the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of Indigenous Peoples.
• The project will develop a specific adaptation finance action plan to attract private sector investment and create a portfolio of projects to ensure the financial sustainability of adaptation measures.
• A new monitoring, evaluation, and learning system will be established to define metrics and indicators for the sector, addressing the previous lack of national methodologies for reporting results.
