NAP-Ag Webinar Session Recordings: The Role of Climate Information Services in Adaptation Planning for Agriculture

This webinar series is presented through the UNDP-FAO Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) Programme. The programme is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.

The NAP-Ag webinar on The Role of Climate Information Services in Adaptation Planning for Agriculture provided insights into the role of Climate Information Services (CIS) in planning for adaptation in agricultural sectors. Country case studies and extended exploration of best practices created a strong learning environment for country-to-country exchange on institutional arrangements, and gaps in Climate Information Services for the implementation and formulation of National Adaptation Plans. This webinar is a follow up to the March 2017 peer-to-peer exchange on “Effective Climate Information Services for Agriculture in ASEAN.”
