This report, commissioned by the UNDP and implemented by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), assesses climate risks for smallholder agriculture in Honduras. It identifies a high vulnerability to droughts, tropical storms, and floods, which threaten food security and national development goals. The report recommends a combination of local adaptive actions—such as improved water and soil management—and institutional reforms to mainstream climate risk into national agricultural policy.

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.

This case study examines the implementation of the National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS) in Honduras, focusing on its integration with agriculture and food security.

This research paper by Bruno Locatelli and Emilia Pramova explores the bidirectional relationship between forests and climate change adaptation, introducing the concept of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). The authors argue that forests provide critical services that reduce human vulnerability ('forests for adaptation') and that forests themselves require management to survive climate shifts ('adaptation for forests').

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from nine countries to illustrate the human impact of climate change. It emphasizes that Indigenous Peoples and communities in the global South are most vulnerable due to their reliance on land and water. The document argues for a global movement to achieve climate justice by challenging the economic systems driving unsustainable production and consumption.

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from nine countries, highlighting the disproportionate vulnerability of the Global South to climate change. It emphasizes that local communities often possess ancestral knowledge and traditional practices—such as agroecology and sustainable water management—that are more effective for adaptation than top-down institutional measures. The document calls for a global movement for climate justice and a transition away from fossil fuels to protect the most marginalized populations.

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from individuals and communities in nine countries—Australia, Brazil, Honduras, Malaysia, Mali, Peru, Swaziland, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom—to highlight the human impact of climate change. It emphasizes that populations in the Global South and indigenous peoples are the most vulnerable due to their close ties to land and water. The document argues that current government and international responses are often insufficient or misaligned with local needs, advocating instead for a global movement based on climate justice, the restoration of traditional lifestyles, and a transition away from fossil fuels.
