"We need to help rural populations build their resilience to extreme weather events and adapt to a changing climate. If not, we only go from one crisis to the next. small scale farmers work hard to grow food for us in tough conditions. Yet only 1.7 percent of global climate finance despite their crucial role feeding this world comes through to them. This is unjust."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sabrina Dhowre Elba, IFAD Goodwill Ambassador:
"This is personal to me. As a Somali woman, I can't idly stand by while mothers, families, farmers are suffering across the Horn of Africa as it experiences its most severe drought in recent history. This follows four consecutive failed rainy seasons in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, a climatic event not seen in the last 40 years."
6.Wide shot, press conference room
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sabrina Dhowre Elba, IFAD Goodwill Ambassador:
"Developed Countries must honor their pledge to provide 100 billion a year in climate finance to developing countries that channel at least half that amount into climate adaptation. Together, we the people must mobilize political will and investments. Trillions of dollars were made available to tackle the COVID pandemic and its economic consequences. The same is needed for climate change. The same is needed for sustainable agricultural support. It's crucial to the wellbeing and the food security of us all."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dina Saleh, Regional Director of the Near East, North Africa and Europe Division (NEN), IFAD:
“Failure to help rural populations to adapt could have dangerous consequences, leading to longer poverty, migrations and conflict. This is why today we are calling on world leaders from developed nations to honor their pledge to provide the 100 billion a year in climate finance to developing nations and to channel half of that to have that amount to climate adaptation.”
10.Wide shot, press conference room
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Yonetani, Senior Policy Officer, UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR):
“One big message that UNHCR has been bringing to the COP, and this absolutely applies to financing is the importance to include displaced populations, people and others who are living in highly vulnerable situations who are among those who have least access to financing, especially through local organizations, but also at the country level, and access to the more international level of funding sources. There are a whole range of mosaic of different sources out there but they all need to be made much more accessible because the gap between humanitarian needs on the ground and what is available today is simply widening There needs to be additional finance brought to those who are most vulnerable.”

“If we are doing things like nature-based solutions, restoring soils, making barren land arable again, it's not only that we enable people to rebuild their own livelihoods to get the two feet back on the ground and regain the dignity. It's also that they provide services for all of us, because every piece of land that spruiking again, every functioning ecosystem, every upper forestry system item that takes out come out of the atmosphere and helps all of us but our starting point should be we are committed to zero hunger and we are committed to leaving no one behind and we need much much more support in order to be able to help those who are in most fragile context.”

“If you want to reduce emissions from agriculture, if you want to build adaptation, resilience, then we have to invest more in innovation. Innovation in the broader sense you have innovation like that address precision farming where you have drip irrigation combined with renewable energy so that you have efficiency and also innovation and precision farming at the same time. But also innovation in the broader sense that the traditional knowledge of smallholder farmers is also important. That innovation is happening really all the time.”

STORYLINE
On agricultural day at COP27, IFAD Goodwill Ambassador Sabrina Dhowre Elba called on world leaders from developed nations to honor their pledge to provide climate finance to developing nations.
Speaking at a press conference on urgent call for climate finance for small-scale farmers today (12 Nov) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the Somali descent Canadian model and actress told reporters that climate change is personal to her.
She said, “as a Somali woman, I can't idly stand by while mothers, families, farmers are suffering across the Horn of Africa as it experiences its most severe drought in recent history.”
Elba said, "we need to help rural populations build their resilience to extreme weather events and adapt to a changing climate. If not, we only go from one crisis to the next. small scale farmers work hard to grow food for us in tough conditions. Yet only 1.7 percent of global climate finance despite their crucial role feeding this world comes through to them. This is unjust."
She reiterated, “together, we the people must mobilize political will and investments,” adding that “trillions of dollars were made available to tackle the COVID pandemic and its economic consequences. The same is needed for climate change. The same is needed for sustainable agricultural support.”
Elba concluded, “it's crucial to the wellbeing and the food security of us all."
IFAD’s Dina Saleh also spoke to reporters. She said that “failure to help rural populations to adapt could have dangerous consequences, leading to longer poverty, migrations and conflict.”
Saleh added, “this is why today we are calling on world leaders from developed nations to honor their pledge to provide the 100 billion a year in climate finance to developing nations and to channel half of that to have that amount to climate adaptation.”
Climate shocks are combining with conflict, acute food insecurity, rising prices, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to impact people across the globe, but those least responsible for the climate crisis and least able to adapt to its shocks are being hit hardest.
Over 70 per cent of the world’s refugees and displaced people come from the most climate-vulnerable countries.
UNHCR is providing protection and assistance to many refugees and other people displaced by the effects of climate change, as well as helping them increase their resilience to future disasters.
Later at a press conference on urgent need for investment in climate action for communities in fragile contexts, UNHCR’s Michelle Yonetani said, “one big message that UNHCR has been bringing to the COP, and this absolutely applies to financing is the importance to include displaced populations, people and others who are living in highly vulnerable situations who are among those who have least access to financing, especially through local organizations, but also at the country level, and access to the more international level of funding sources.”
She added that “there are a whole range of mosaic of different sources out there, but they all need to be made much more accessible because the gap between humanitarian needs on the ground and what is available today is simply widening There needs to be additional finance brought to those who are most vulnerable.”
The World Food Programme stands shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers as extreme weather continues to drive food insecurity in the MENA region.
The UN food agency has been in the lead across the MENA region in helping rural communities adapt to the repercussions of a changing climate, introducing climate-smart solutions to more than 1 million people in ten countries.
WFP’s Climate Expert Martin Frick told reporters, “if we are doing things like nature-based solutions, restoring soils, making barren land arable again, it's not only that we enable people to rebuild their own livelihoods to get the two feet back on the ground and regain the dignity. It's also that they provide services for all of us, because every piece of land that spruining again, every functioning ecosystem, every upper forestry system item that takes out come out of the atmosphere and helps all of us.
Frick said, “our starting point should be we are committed to zero hunger, and we are committed to leaving no one behind and we need much much more support in order to be able to help those who are in most fragile context.”
For agrifood systems to adapt to climate change and become more sustainable, improving the quality and quantity of climate finance contributions to the sector is critical – that was the main message at the launch of the Food and Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation Initiative (FAST) held at COP27.
The United Nations Climate talks are being hosted by Egypt this year and FAST was developed and initiated by the Egyptian Presidency in close collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and other stakeholders.
FAST comes at a time when the risk of hunger and malnutrition among the most vulnerable groups is getting worse and the world’s agrifood systems are increasingly impacted by climate variability and extreme weather events. Agrifood systems also contribute to the climate crisis, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss.
In an interview, FAO’s Zitouni Ould-Dada said, “If you want to reduce emissions from agriculture, if you want to build adaptation, resilience, then we have to invest more in innovation.”
He continued, “innovation in the broader sense you have innovation like that address precision farming where you have drip irrigation combined with renewable energy so that you have efficiency and also innovation and precision farming at the same time.
