Abstract
Climate change is a threat to the agricultural sector; rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme events lead to reduced crop yields, and food security. Further, the agriculture sector contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change. The sector requires substantial investments in climate-smart practices and technologies to address these challenges. However, it has traditionally been underserved by the financial system, so farmers and other stakeholders don't have access to the financing to follow climate-smart agriculture practices. This chapter identifies financing challenges in following CSA practices and explores critical role innovative financial mechanisms can play in alleviating these challenges. This includes development of tailored financial products, use of risk-sharing instruments, and promotion of public-private partnerships. It highlights importance of capacity building of FIs and farmers to design and implement climate-smart interventions and develop robust metrics to measure impacts of these investments.
