IFAD just released its 2024 Climate Action Report ⬇️

By investing more than US$1.28 billion in climate adaptation and sustainable food production for the period 2022-2024, IFAD has both increased and exceeded its goals in concretely supporting rural and vulnerable populations.

Message is clear. The return on investment for small scale farmers are stabilising supply chain, keeping inflation under check, and ensuring nutrition security.

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

We’re witnessing climate change impacting our food supply, and our wallets.

At #COP29, global leaders must take action to support small-scale farmers and prevent further food inflation.

My thoughts on this urgent need, in @LeMonde_EN:

Adopting ATR widely could revolutionize climate policy, guiding investments through clear data on resilience impacts. This could lead to resilience credit-a new asset class in climate finance! 🌟@algore @MarkJCarney @BillGates @DrAndrewSteer @miaamormottley @simonstiell

The private sector is "almost entirely absent" from funding #ClimateResilience, with just a 2% share of these investments.

Could "resilience credits" be the answer?

Stern Review sparked fiscal policy revolution by 2009. It taught us high cost of inaction & value of integrating climate action into PFM. Now, 'Economics of Food System Transformation' report urges a similar overhaul for global food systems.

Reducing methane emissions by 45% could avoid 0.3°C global warming by 2045- a key to achieving Paris Agreement goals. #IFAD is proud to launch RAMP at #COP28 with @Gmethanehub & @StateDept , targeting livestock & rice cultivation @IFADamericas @Jo_Puri @GMH_HaydenM

#COP28 is coming to a close, and over the past two weeks, IFAD has put small-scale farmers front and center.

Here's why 👇

Unlocking financing for resilient #FoodSystems demands a shift in approach. We need to think about benefit sharing, sector bundling and bundle sectors together. @JahanChowIFAD at #COP28

Adaptation finance is not just a transaction; it's a lifeline for communities facing climate uncertainty. Urgent action is needed to build a more resilient future. 💪 #ClimateActionNow #Resilienceforall

[jahan chowdhury @JahanChowIFAD]

Three possible reasons behind the growing demand for adaptation finance: concessional loans, credit rating concerns, and investing now to prevent future losses. #ClimateResilience #Finance

[jahan chowdhury @JahanChowIFAD]

In 2022, $22.7 billion was allocated for climate adaptation finance in low- and middle-income economies. A crucial 37% of their total climate finance. The data is eye-opening! #ClimateChange #FinanceTrends
