A recent report, Climate technologies for agrifood systems transformation, highlights the urgent need for innovative climate solutions to tackle food insecurity and the escalating impacts of climate change on global agrifood systems. The joint report from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) explores the critical role of climate technologies in transforming global agrifood systems to enhance resilience, reduce emissions, and foster inclusivity. The UNFCCC hopes that climate technologies can address these challenges by improving agricultural productivity, promoting resilience to climate impacts, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Examples of adaptation technologies include drought-resistant crop varieties, climate-smart irrigation systems, and agroforestry practices, which help conserve water, protect soils, and improve crop yields under changing conditions. Ensuring that climate technology is accessible and practical requires building local capacity for maintenance, training, and scaling these technologies to reach vulnerable communities. The report calls for targeted initiatives, like Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs), to identify regional technology requirements and tailor solutions to local contexts. TNAs are tools for identifying which climate technologies are most suitable for particular countries, sectors, and communities. These assessments guide the development of appropriate interventions and ensure that technology solutions are aligned with local needs and challenges. TNAs identify and rank the most critical technologies for specific sectors, such as agriculture or energy, based on their potential to address climate challenges. The report calls for targeted investments to bridge this gap, focusing on technology transfer and capacity building in vulnerable regions. It also highlights the importance of public-private partnerships, gender and social inclusion, and ensuring that financial resources reach marginalized communities. More information:
