This policy document presents IFAD approach to climate change, rooted in the IFAD Strategic Framework 2007-2010. Climate change hazards affect poor rural people in developing countries and efforts have to be promoted to strengthen their long-term resilience to climate change. While an increasing number of IFAD-supported projects address climate change adaptation issues, the challenge is to ensure that all IFAD activities at the country level are consistently built on an understanding of the potential effects of climate change and that they take these effects into account as necessary.
