Haiti has submitted its National Adaptation Plan of Action to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Land use change and forestry are the largest contributors to green house gas (GHG) emissions in the country. The emission reduction potential is large and unexplored. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, this coupled with problems of severe land degradation and poverty in the country. A greater emphasis on developing and applying adequate insurance mechanisms can be placed for better management of public resources in light of natural disasters in the agriculture sector.CC BY 3.0 IGOADVERSE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEAFFORESTATIONAFFORESTATION EFFORTSAGRICULTURAL INSURANCEAGRICULTURAL RESOURCEAGRICULTURAL RESOURCESAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGROFORESTRYANIMAL HUSBANDRYARABLE LANDBANANA PLANTATIONSBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONCALCULATIONCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON TRADINGCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE DATACLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE EVENTSCLIMATE RISKCLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENTCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE-CHANGECLIMATIC CHANGESCO2CULTIVATED LANDCULTIVATIONDAMAGESDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION RATEDESERTIFICATIONDNADROUGHTDROUGHTSECONOMIC IMPACTEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTION POTENTIALEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTUREEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTSENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITYEROSIONEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFERTILIZATIONFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MECHANISMSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHERIESFLOODSFORESTFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST RESOURCESFORESTRYFORESTRY PROJECTSFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFRESH WATERFUELGAS EMISSIONSGHGGREEN HOUSE GASHURRICANEHURRICANESIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTUREIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINFORMATION ON CLIMATEINFORMATION ON CLIMATE CHANGEINFORMATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSINSURANCEINSURANCE INSTRUMENTSINSURANCE MARKETINSURANCE MECHANISMSINTENSE DEFORESTATION ACTIVITIESINTENSE RAINFALLIRRIGATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USELAND-USE CHANGEMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMICRO-WATERSHEDSNATIONAL CLIMATENATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGENATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNITROGEN BASED FERTILIZERSNITROUS OXIDENITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONSPARTNERSHIPPASTUREPLANTINGPOLICY ADVICEPORTFOLIOPRECIPITATIONRAINFALLRAINWATERREFORESTATIONREGIONAL CLIMATEREGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGERESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGERISK MANAGEMENTRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTSEASONSOILSOIL CARBONSOIL EROSIONSTORMSSUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURETEMPERATURETEMPERATURE INCREASESTEMPERATURESTOTAL DAMAGESTOTAL EMISSIONSTREESVULNERABILITY INDICATORSWATER RESOURCESWOODWorld Bank10.1596/9476
