Indigenous Peoples and climate financing: Experiences from IPAF
This report outlines success stories and lessons learned in climate finance for Indigenous Peoples through the Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (IPAF).
Climate change poses unprecedented challenges for humanity. Agriculture is one of the most affected sectors as heat waves, floods, droughts, storms, and other natural disasters affect millions of small producers around the world.
For development organizations, it is vital to know how and where climate change is affecting smallholder farming in order to pursue effective interventions. IFAD uses geospatial technology to help map, assess, and target its climate-related investments.
This catalogue follows the ShareFair ideas marketplace organized by IFAD for COP26, and features innovative geospatial tools, IFAD case studies, and partners work, including:
Tools and approaches
Case studies
IFAD relies on the geospatial data and expertise of other organizations to perform its analyses. The catalogue features the work of a number of these important partners, most notably fellow Rome-based agencies: the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), and the European Space Agency (ESA).
This catalogue promotes a number of geospatial tools under FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative that can support the design and implementation of large agricultural programmes such as of IFAD.
