This evaluation examined FAO’s contribution to climate change adaptation and mitigation from 2009 to 2014, with selected case studies from 11 countries. It noted that the advanced analytical tools and data of FAO and its support to national climate change strategy development processes have helped to strengthen developing country efforts for climate change adaptation and mitigation. It pointed out, however, the lack of an organization-wide strategy on climate change and the need to improve the capacity of FAO to engage with host governments at country level. It recommends that FAO prepare a crosscutting corporate climate change strategy that will guide its work in this area and integrate regional and country priorities. It also recommends that FAO improve climate change adaptation and mitigation mainstreaming in all of its work, integrate capacity development and gender in climate initiatives, enhance the position of its country offices in national climate dialogues, and expand its partnerships.
