This video shows what Viet Nam, Uganda and Colombia are doing to develop gender-responsive national adaptation plans for the agriculture sectors. This country-driven work is carried out under a global programme known as Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag), jointly coordinated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The Maldives: Leveraging Public Budgets for Coastal Adaptation Projects

The Maldives, an atoll island chain consisting of 1,192 islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, are at high risk from rising sea-levels with a maximum elevation of 2.4m above mean sea-level. More than 44 per cent of settlements and 70 per cent of all critical infrastructure are located within 100 meters of shoreline, which makes them highly vulnerable to flooding and coastal erosion. Climate change induced sea-level rise will increase extreme levels due to storm surges and swell waves, exposing islands population, infrastructure and livelihood assets to increasing flood risk.
