Lessons from the Field
Our knowledge of the processes and impacts of climate change is evolving fast. The agriculture forestry and fisheries sectors are highly affected by climate change, yet at the same time contribute to the problem by emitting significant volumes of greenhouse gases. The future of food security therefore depends on strong action in these sectors to both mitigate and adapt to climate change. Effective mechanisms for assimilitating, consolidating and applying experiences from field projects, scient ific research and the knowledge and practices of local people will be central to such action. The FAO Climate Change Days workshop was held at FAO headquarters in Rome 21-23 June 2010. It brought together around 100 professionals from the FAO's regional, subregional, country and headquarters offices in a number of sessions relating to FAO's climate Change work. The participants discussed a multitude of issues concerning climate change project implementation. This publication was inspired by the workshop and is an effort to encourage knowledge sharing and uptake of lessons learned from field project experiences.
