Occasional Paper 23 - WFP and Climate Change: a Review of Ongoing Experience and Recommendations for Action

Climate change could impact hard-won development gains and affect the food and nutrition security of many of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people.  As a frontline actor in the fight against hunger and malnutrition, WFP is working towards assessing and defining its role, comparative advantages and approaches to the new development and relief challenges posed by climate change.  This study was commissioned to provide the organization with a first systematic review of WFP's past experience and comparative advantages in areas that relate to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
