This report by the Climate Policy Initiative analyzes climate finance flows to small-scale agrifood systems for the 2019/20 period, revealing a significant funding gap and a sharp decline in investment compared to 2017/18. It highlights the critical role of small-scale producers in global food security and their high vulnerability to climate change, while recommending a 'just transition' approach to scale up equitable financing.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative, supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), proposes a framework for measuring climate finance flows to small-scale agriculture in developing countries and provides a snapshot of international financial commitments for 2017 and 2018.

This report, prepared by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), evaluates climate risks and management capacities for small-scale agriculture in Honduras. It identifies the sector's high vulnerability due to economic poverty, environmental degradation, and reliance on rain-fed crops. The document analyzes current climate threats—such as droughts, hurricanes, and floods—and projects a hotter, drier future that threatens national development goals, food security, and the livelihoods of small-scale farmers. It concludes with recommendations for local practical measures, institutional governance reforms, and further research to enhance adaptive capacity.

These conference proceedings summarize findings from over 50 listening sessions conducted between March and October 2020 to inform the Two Degree Initiative, a CGIAR flagship effort aimed at helping 200 million small-scale agricultural producers globally adapt to climate change.
