Don't forget smallholder farmers on climate talks - In the news: Climate Finance | Devex: "What they need, according to Jones, is a predictable and adequate flow of funding for projects that may help them adapt to climate change, like IFAD’s Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Program, currently a $340-million facility capable of funding 30-35 programs a year.
But financing adaptation is not a simple task — it requires an “institutional” change and a lot of money, notes the IFAD official: “Development, without consideration of climate change, cannot be truly called development, because we are ignoring one of the main contextual challenges.”"
