Abstract
Climate change threatens to bring
substantial impacts to Côte d’Ivoire’s agriculture sector,
which is central to the country’s economic productivity and
food security. Climate change, of course, poses challenges
not only for Côte d’Ivoire but also for countries across
Africa. Côte d’Ivoire is a signatory to the United National
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Paris agreement and has submitted its nationally determined
contributions (NDC), committing to take action both on
adaptation to climate change and on reducing greenhouse
emissions. Côte d’Ivoire is by far a minor emitter of
greenhouse gases. This document provides an investment plan
for climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in Côte d’Ivoire,
developed with support of the AAA Initiative and the World
Bank, and technical assistance of the CGIAR Research Program
on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).
This plan includes a set of twelve key CSA investments for
Côte d’Ivoire that were developed with strong stakeholder
engagement, expert input and scientific evidence. Because it
is a member of the AAA Initiative and is also committed to
delivering on its NDC commitments, Côte d’Ivoire now has an
investment plan that includes a set of specific
climate-smart projects that improve productivity, build
resilience to climate change and, as appropriate, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture sector.
