Agriculture is both highly vulnerable to climate change and a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, creating a dual challenge: ensuring food security for a growing population while reducing emissions and building resilience. This knowledge product, developed by the FAO Investment Centre with contributions from across FAO, provides practical guidance for integrating climate risk considerations into agricultural investment projects. Covering the full project cycle—from design to implementation, monitoring and evaluation—it draws on the latest IPCC findings, digital innovations, FAO tools, and field-tested approaches. By equipping investment practitioners with insights and resources, it supports the design of more effective, climate-sensitive investments that safeguard livelihoods, ecosystems, and global food security.
