Livelihoods | UNDP Climate Change Adaptation

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" dir="ltr" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns#"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="description" content="As climate change increasingly disrupts weather patterns, rural communities that depend on agriculture and other weather-dependent livelihoods face heightened risks to their income stability, food security and economic assets. Developing climate-resilient value chains – particularly in agriculture, including those engaged in animal husbandry and coastal fishing – has become a priority to safeguard livelihoods and food security in rural areas. Integrating climate resilience into livelihoods not only supports vulnerable communities but also advances national adaptation goals, fostering sustainable pathways to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ambitions of the Paris Agreement.The main areas of UNDP’s work in advancing climate-resilient livelihoods for vulnerable communities includes support to entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with a special emphasis on women entrepreneurs; development of public goods to build market resilience; and promoting income diversification and improved productivity.
