Integrating Climate Smartnessinto

Sustainable Land Management

The EU/MOA/GIZ Project of theGlobal Climate Change Alliance in 

Ethiopia

Effects of Climate Change→ Droughts and floods

→ Accelerated Land Degradation→ Poorer crops and livestock productivity

→ Less food→ Lower incomes

Climate Smart Agriculture

Synergies

Page 10: Egk 2012   boris buechler, slm

Sustainable participatory forestmanagement• Afforestation/reforestation of degraded lands

Nursery Development and planting

Physical and biological conservation measures;

Area Enclosure

• Reduced Deforestation and Forests Degradation

Use of energy saving technologies

Sustainable Forest management

Page 11: Egk 2012   boris buechler, slm

Climate Smart crop production• Improving moisture use efficiency,  soil and water 

conservation

• Promotion of agronomic practices to improve soil  fertility and health (increased carbon sink) 

• Promote improved field and horticultural crop varieties

• Promote integrated disease and pest management techniques

Page 12: Egk 2012   boris buechler, slm

Climate smart livestock production • Promote eco‐system adapted livestock systems with stall feeding

• Promote destocking through use of improved breeds

• Improve productivity, value chain development 

• Use of lower emitting sources of protein

• Promote bee keeping activities

Page 13: Egk 2012   boris buechler, slm

Resilient and ample water supplies• Promote water harvesting technologies

• Construct and upgrade small scale irrigation schemes

• Improve irrigation water use efficiency

• Spring Development in rehabilitated Watersheds

Page 14: Egk 2012   boris buechler, slm

Sustainability and ‘lock in’ mechanisms• Create an enabling environment at community level to 

enhance Carbon Smart Agriculture 

• Develop farmer‐friendly incentive mechanisms and guidelines for implementation

• Support the establishment of appropriate institutions and GCCA innovations

• Buffer risks of farmers for adaptation  of new technologies and approaches

• Preparedness for carbon trade

Policy framework and innovative institutions• Development conducive Policy framework conditions for the agricultural sector in line with the Ethiopian CRGE initiative

• Support the establishment of appropriate institutions and GCCA innovations
