Lessons learned from the implementation of the SCALA Programme
Building on lessons learned from the SCALA programme, co-led by FAO and UNDP, this document explores how engaging the private sector can drive effective climate action in agriculture and land use. Identifying challenges, opportunities, and solutions, it demonstrates how businesses can play a pivotal role in supporting countries to implement their climate commitments. Through the SCALA programme, FAO and UNDP are fostering collaboration between governments and private sector actors, reducing investment risks, and strengthening the business case for sustainable practices. With targeted support across 12 countries and beyond, SCALA is helping to transform climate goals into concrete actions that enhance resilience and sustainability in agrifood systems.
