Addressing climate change through development cooperation: Climate change issues in the field of natural resource management, livelihoods, and food security

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) recently prepared a short orientation paper, entitled Addressing Climate Change Through Development Cooperation, with a focus on natural resource management, livelihoods, and food security. This document illustrates how the issue of climate change can be addressed and integrated into the work of an agency. In SDC's programmes, special emphasis is given to two important areas—adaptation and mitigation—as well as to the linkages between policy levels and concrete development work.
