Sectoral Adaptation Programme (SAP) on Agriculture 2025-2030

The Sectoral Adaptation Programme (SAP) on Agriculture for 2025-2030 provides a climate vulnerability analysis and recommended actions to ensure effective adaptation to climate change in the agricultural sector. It emphasises issues around water availability and the dependence of the sector on outdated irrigation systems, promoting better surface water collection and storage, covered canals, desalination, crop rotation and the breeding of more stress-tolerant crop varieties. It also promotes broader efforts to build capacity and disseminate information, including integration of agricultural adaptation into education systems and the creation of monitoring systems for soil and air quality. The programme includes an intersection with gender issues, and promotes technical adaptation and better small business infrastructure as tools to mitigate women's heightened vulnerability to climate issues in subsistence farming communities.
