Bridging financing gaps for Nationally Determined Contributions in agriculture under climate change
The Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) hosted by the FAO Land and Water Division organized its fourth webinar under the title: Bridging financing gaps for Nationally Determined Contributions in agriculture under climate change.
The Finance working group of WASAG organized this webinar to share the WASAG’s Framework on Financing Mechanisms. This Framework aims to identify and support new approaches to finance water for agriculture. These approaches will inform the work undertaken in the WASAG working groups to ensure an aligned approach across WASAG projects and activities. The webinar presented the framework and a number of case studies illustrating how it can be utilized.
