Formulating a Climate Resilience Community Village Plan

Small-scale farmers in developing countries depend on land, water, forests and rangeland for their economic development. Climate change is already having an adverse impact on these natural resources and, in turn, people’s livelihoods.

To help farmers become more climate resilient, there is a need to integrate climate change resilience measures into community development planning and sustainably manage natural resources through participatory and responsive processes.

This How To Do Note provides guidance on building climate-resilient livelihoods through natural resources management. It documents the experiences of IFAD programmes in Brazil and Sudan, highlighting key challenges and good practices.
