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.
Addressing climate change is central to the future of agriculture and food systems. Despite playing a critical role in sustainable food production, and being most affected by the impacts of climate change, small-scale farmers receive less than 1 per cent of climate finance.
As a leading investor in small-scale farming, IFAD supports rural people to cope with the effects of a changing climate. To mobilize additional climate finance for small-scale farmers, IFAD launched a call for Core Additional Climate Contributions (ACCs) during IFAD13.
This brief outlines why ACCs matter and how they will work.
