Storybook: The Year the Cold Didn’t Come
Through this storybook, IFAD seeks to highlight the impact of climate change in Lao PDR, where those affected the most are rural people, especially women, children and ethnic minorities.
It is critical to invest in climate solutions with lasting impact so that when crises hit, rural communities have the strength and resources to withstand them. The 2022 Climate Action Report shows that IFAD is uniquely positioned to address today’s challenges.
With over 40 years of experience focusing exclusively on building resilient rural communities, IFAD offers innovative financial mechanisms and solutions to build a more sustainable future by channelling climate financing to small-scale producers.
This report presents the results of IFAD’s climate-focused finance and shows how IFAD combines up-to-date, robust knowledge on climate and sustainable agricultural development with easy-to-access financial mechanisms. This combination is crucial for building an equitable and more resilient tomorrow for small-scale farmers and rural people – the people at the heart of IFAD’s mandate.
