Guideline for Enhancing Climate Resilience and Food and Nutrition Security

This document provides technical guidance by offering a set of concrete practical orientations to enhance climate resilience and food and nutrition security, and complements other tools developed by ACF including the Disaster Risk Management tools. These actions should be conducted in communities and countries highly exposed to climate-related shocks and seasonal trends:

1) Analyzing the interplay of climate-related shocks and stresses with food and nutrition security;
2) Strengthening early warning systems and linking alerts to early food & nutrition security response mechanisms;
3) Enhancing institutional preparedness for early action;
4) Tackling seasonal peaks of under-nutrition;
5) Climate-proofing all food and nutrition security projects;
6) Facilitating community-based risk management plans;
7) Conducting advocacy and supporting policy development;
8) Conducting applied research and strengthening evidence.
