Climate Change, Food Security and Resilience:On-the-ground experience

Sustainable Development Goals
• Every night 1 in 7 people go to bed hungry--- that’s about 1 billion people worldwide
• 60% of the hungry are women and girls
• 870 million people estimated to be undernourished (not enough food)
• Another 1 billion estimated to be malnourished (not having right food)
• 60% of those malnourished are food producers (small holder farmers)
FAO, 2012
Reality Today
• Today the world produces about 4 billion tons of food per year, or about 6 quadrillion calories for 7 billion people,
• By 2050, the world will need about 60% more calories per year in order to feed a projected 9 billion people,
FAO, 2012
How will we produce enough food to meet this growing demand?
Future Reality
Climate change is altering the face of disaster risk, not only through increased weather related risks and sea-level and temperature rises, but also through increases in societal vulnerabilities, for example, from stresses on water availability, agriculture and ecosystems.
UNISDR, 2014
The Changing face of risks
Global trend: Increasing rate of climate induced disasters
UNISDR, 2013
El Niño contributing to the worst drought in 60 years in Ethiopia
Around 75 percent crop losses in eastern and central Ethiopia due to El Niño-related poor 2015 rainfall more than half a million livestock deaths have been seen and more than 1.7 million livestock are found
at risk.WFP, December 2015
Challenges for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia and Ghana
Women are the most affected population to Climate Change
Increase frequency and intensity of Drought and Flood Increased Pest & Disease outbreaks More land degradation More erratic rain (Intense, but shorter duration rain) Reduced productivity of staple and high-value crops (Quantity
& Quality) More livestock disease and death Availability and Accessibility to water
Three Pillars for Food Security;• Availability : enough food • Access : enough income, affordability, market • Utilization : enough knowledge, nutritious food, clean
water…..
Fourth Pillar • Stability!! Resilience to shocks and stresses
Could we ensure Food Security with this changing
environment ?
Integration of Resilience aspects at the project level
Examples from CFTC’s projects in Ghana and Ethiopia
Local level Risk and Vulnerability Identification, and risk Communication
Gender Responsive Community-based Risk, Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment
Climate Change Forum, Addis, Ethiopia
• Conservation agriculture to improve soil quality and productivity
• Provide drought tolerant Seeds/seedlings
• Re-introduce traditional seed varieties
• Drought-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing trees are planted to rebuild the soil
Introduce Climate Resilient agriculture
Access to Weather information
Climate Change Forum, Addis, Ethiopia
Weather information
• Forecast on the likelihood of
rainfall, timing and intensity
• Sent out information in the
morning which may value for two
days
• Adding monthly and seasonal
outlooks of weather
• Information provided is for a 9km radius

Lessons and recommendations
• Understanding of risk critical
• Poor (or No) system to track environment related results
• Strengthen internal capacity to integrate Environmental/CC issues
• Build partnership spirit with government
• Resilience building is key to sustain result
• Climate Change should be addressed as stand-alone and cross cutting
issue
• Facilitate fund access for local level climate change initiatives
• Balance approach to adaptation and mitigation addressing climate
change at the ground level
